摘要
With two Kekule and three Dewar structures, Cooper et al. were able to recover 92% of the benzene pi-electron correlation energy (the difference between the SCF energy and the 175-structure minimal basis set limit) by using symmetrically "distorted" AOs. Here it is shown that by using the asymmetric orbitals suggested by Linnett, 98.1% of the correlation energy can be obtained from four structures of pseudo-Kekule type. Similar results follow for pyridine and for a distorted benzene molecule used as a model in the study of reaction paths.
