Molecular orbital theory of the Compton profile of F2

Abstract
Theoretical directional and spherical average Compton profiles have been computed for the fluorine molecule from an SCF–MO wavefunction. The Compton profile of F2 is found to be highly anisotropic due to an atomic contribution and a prominent overlap or diffraction effect from which the bond length can be deduced with about 5% error.
