Extended diatomics in molecules calculations

Abstract
The diatomics in molecules method of estimating polyatomic energy surfaces is extended to include valence bond configuration interaction. The results are applied to H3, using a basis of covalent and ionic functions. The method is found to be stable to the addition of the ionic functions, but it is found to be necessary to assume that the overlap between orbitals centered on different atoms vanishes.
