Subject: Ionization of a molecule...

Here are two clarifications for the sloppy wording
in my previous post:

a)  The asymptotic limit of
    the  one-electron potential (defined as 
    del^2 sqrt(rho)/2 * sqrt(rho)) is related 
    to the 1st ionization potential of 
    a molecule not the IP of an electron.

b)  "Barrier to removal of an electron" should be changed to 
     "the force an electron is subjected 
     to locally in a molecule". One-electron potential is 
     the quantum potential and its gradient measures the 
     quantum mechanical force on an electron.
