I would like to calculate dipole moments using MNDO, so I began by looking
at some small molecules to see what I could see, using MNDO that comes with
Gaussian 92. For HCl, MNDO gives 0.581 D (HF/DZP is 1.46, exp. is 1.08)
and for H2O, MNDO gives 0.701 D (HF/DZP is 2.26, exp. is 1.85). Am I
reading the MNDO output wrong?
Thanks!
