Formaldehyde Molecule in a Gaussian Basis. A Self-Consistent Field Calculation

Abstract
Accurate LCAO–MO–SCF calculations have been carried out for the formaldehyde molecule using (73/2) and (95/3) Gaussian basis sets. The energy parameters, molecular orbitals, dipole moments, and population analyses are reported. The results are compared to a previous calculation with a minimum Slater basis and to experiment.
