So far, I have received only one helpful advice from Jens Spanget-Larsen regarding the choice of the two-center two-electron integral equation (Ohno versus Mataga-Nishimoto). I am still looking for PPP parameters, both one- and two-center integral parameters. I am particularly interested in distance dependent two-center one-electron resonance integrals between first neighbor centers. In a first moment, I would settle for calculating only conjugated hydrocarbons. Therefore, I would be grateful if someone could point for a reference where I can find such a fully self-contained PPP parameter set. Thank you very much in advance. Sincerely yours, Gustavo L.C.

I have been employing a CI approach that includes more than single excitations in the calculations and I have observed that, in agreement with your info, I get better results with the OH equation. Regarding the resonance integrals, I have been using a parameter set that employs a linear relationship between first neighbors bond lengths and beta. I have no plans of going beyond first neighbors for the resonance integrals. In the end, what I am searching is a fully self-contained PPP parameter set. One that does not employ different parameters or equations from different sources. Sincerely yours, Gustavo L.C.

" Enviadas: Sábado, 12 de janeiro de 2019 6:42:35 Assunto: CCL: SV: Looking for a PPP parameter set Dear Gustavo! Whether you use MN or OH two-center electron repulsion integrals does not depend so much on the other PPP parameters. The choice depends primarily on the configuration interaction (CI) expansion. If the expansion is limited to singly excited configurations (CIS), the strongly screened MN integrals tend to be adequate. But if you include doubly or higher excited configurations, thereby explicitly introducing terms in electron correlation, the less screened OH integrals are more appropriate. You want to include distance depending resonance integrals (beta's). Let me just mention that if you include resonance integrals between 'non-bonded' centers, thereby abandoning the tight-binding approximation, you break the spirit of the PPP concept.
