SINDO

SINDO is one of many semi-empirical quantum chemistry methods. It stands for symmetric orthogonalised INDO and was developed by K. Jug and coworkers.D. N. Nanda and K. Jug, Theoretica Chimica Acta, 57, 95, (1980)K. Jug and D. N. Nanda, Theoretica Chimica Acta, 57, 107, (1980)K. Jug, R. Iffert and J. Schulz, International Journal of Quantum Chemistry, 32, 265, (1987) Like MINDO, it is a development of the INDO method. The main development is the inclusion of d orbitals for atoms of the second row of the periodic table. It performs better for hypervalent compounds than other semiempirical methods.K. Jug and J. Schulz, Journal of Computational Chemistry, 9, 40, (1988)
