EHT 1.0 description:

EHT is a FORTRAN 77 program for using extended Hueckel theory to calculate the energy of a system, analytical first derivatives of the energy with respect to the atomic Cartesian coordinates, and the Mulliken atomic charges. The calculations include overlap in the secular equation, and the Hamiltonian matrix is evaluated by the Wolfsberg-Helmholz approximation. No core repulsion term is included. The basis functions are Slater-type orbitals (STOs). In this program, d subshells are described by a contracted double zeta STO basis, and s and p subshells are each described by a single zeta STO basis. Overlap integrals are evaluated by the method of Jones and Weatherford. The program contains parameters for the following elements: H-Cs (noble gas elements are excluded), and La-Sm. Parameters are taken from QCPE Program 571 except for Ag; the Ag parameters are from Anderson, McDevitt, and Urbach (see reference in Section 2).
