INDO

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

INDO stands for Intermediate Neglect of Differential Overlap. It is a development of CNDO/2 introduced by John Pople. Like CNDO/2 is uses zero-differential overlap for the two-electron integrals but not for integrals that are over orbitals centred on the same atom. [1] [2]

The method is now rarely used in its original form but it was the basis for several other methods.
