Abstract
A single configuration model containing nonorthogonal magnetic orbitals is developed to represent the important features of the antiferromagnetic state of a transition metal dimer. A state of mixed spin symmetry and lowered space symmetry is constructed which has both conceptual and practical computational value. Either unrestricted Hartree–Fock theory or spin polarized density functional theory, e.g., Xα theory, can be used to generate the mixed spin state wave function. The most important consequence of the theory is that the Heisenberg exchange coupling constant J can be calculated simply from the energies of the mixed spin state and the highest pure spin multiplet.

New Approach to the Theory of Superexchange Interactions

TL;DR: In this article, the theory of indirect exchange in poor conductors is examined from a new viewpoint in which the $d$ (or $f$) shell electrons are placed in wave functions assumed to be exact solutions of the problem of a single $d-electron in the presence of the full diamagnetic lattice.

Quantum Theory of Many-Particle Systems. III. Extension of the Hartree-Fock Scheme to Include Degenerate Systems and Correlation Effects

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if the total wave function is approximated by a projection of a single determinant, the description of the system may be reduced to the ordinary Hartree-Fock scheme treating this determinant.

Scattered-Wave Theory of the Chemical Bond

TL;DR: In the self-consistent field (SCF)-Xα scattered-wave model that is also a first-principle technique, there is no basis set problem because Schrodinger's equation for an Xα potential is numerically integrated as discussed by the authors.
