6. The pi molecular orbitals are computed from<br />

the Fock matrix.<br />

7. The pi molecular orbitals are used to compute<br />

a new Fock matrix, then this new Fock matrix<br />

is used to compute better pi molecular orbitals.<br />

8. step 6 and Step 7 are repeated until the<br />

computation of Fock matrix and the pi<br />

molecular orbitals converge. This method is<br />

called the self-consistent field technique or a<br />

pi-SCF calculation.<br />

9. A pi bond order is computed from the pi<br />

molecular orbitals.<br />

10.The pi bond order is used to modify the bond<br />

length (BL res ) and force constant (KS res ) for<br />

each sigma bond in the pi system.<br />

11.The values of KS res and BL res are used in the<br />

molecular mechanics portion of the MM2<br />

computation to further refine the molecule.<br />

To examine the computed bond orders after an<br />

MM2 computation:<br />

1. In the Pop-up Information control panel,<br />

select Bond Order.<br />

2. Position the pointer over a bond.<br />

The information box contains the newly computed<br />

bond orders for any bonds that are in a pi system.<br />
