The thing to keep in mind is that in general there is no single slater determinant BUILT FROM ORBITALS EXPANDED IN A GIVEN BASIS SET, which represents the density of, say, the full-CI wavefunction in the same basis set. ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------ Christoph van Wullen | Fon (University): +49 234 32 26485 Theoretical Chemistry | Fax (University): +49 234 32 14109 Ruhr-Universitaet | Fon/Fax (private): +49 234 33 22 75 D-44780 Bochum, Germany | eMail: Christoph.van.Wuellen&$at$&Ruhr-Uni-Bochum.de ---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
