An approximate spin projection (AP) method is applied to a second derivative of energy (Hessian) of the broken‐symmetry (BS) method in order to eliminate a spin contamination error. Stretching frequencies of F 2 ( X 1 ∑   g + ) and singlet molecular oxygen ( a 1 Δ g ) are calculated by using the spin‐projected Hessian (AP Hessian). In case of F 2 molecule, a potential curve of an unrestricted Hartree‐Fock (UHF) method does not have an energy minimum but the stretching frequency can be calculated by the AP UHF method. The difference in the calculated stretching frequencies between a restricted HF (RHF) and the AP UHF methods is 650–700 cm −1 , and indicates that a static correlation correction is a crucial to consider the frequency. On the other hand, we cannot find a significant difference in calculated frequencies of RHF and AP‐BS HF in case of 1 O 2 molecule within the HF method. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
