 Hi
    Does anybody know if there are any quantum semiempirical programs
    with d, f orbitals included? The only one I know is SINDO1 (for reference
    see K.Jug R.Iffert J.Schulz 'Development and Parametrization of SINDO1
    for Second-row Elements' Int.J. Quant. Chem. 32 265-277 (1987)}.
    I have heard about MNDO-like methods with artificially included d
    orbitals but results obtained by them are not good for hypervalent
    sulphur compounds.
