Abstract

An open shell version has been developed for the MOLecular Hartree-Fock-DIRac program package MOLFDIR©. This program, originally developed as a closed shell program in 1985, can be used to calculate all-electron four-component Hartree-Fock-Dirac Self Consistent Field solutions for - in principle - molecules of general shape and uses separate gaussian basis sets to expand the large and small component functions. In practice basis sets are chosen to be kinetically balanced; technically, the program is not restricted to such basis sets. Implementation, advantages and limitations due to the Dacre and Elder algorithm for integral evaluation and Fock matrix set-up are discussed and results of test calculations are presented.
