It seems for higher angular momentum, Boys algorithm is not enough. We have to calculate it through some lower angular momentum integrals, am I right? We cannot simply get d-orbitals integrals by D^2 . We can only do it for p-orbitals? Sent to CCL by: Gustavo Mercier [gamercier[A]yahoo.com] Hi! Take your last equation, multiply by your s function and integrate to get an overlap integral. = -(1/2a) D = d/dXa and D^2=d2/dXa2 (second derivative w.r.t. nuclear coordinates). Because the derivatives are w.r.t. nuclear coordinates and the integrals are over electronic coordinates, you can pull the derivative out of the integra.... = D^2() You have an analytic form for , so you can compute D^2() term and rewriting the first equation above: = D^2() + (1/2a) In the end you have a series of recursions to solve your integrals.
