A two‐step procedure was employed in calculating the electric dipole moment μ of seventeen molecules of various shapes. First the molecular wave function ψ is generated by a semiempirical iterative extended Hückel (IEH) procedure which, except for molecular geometry input, employs purely atomic data without recourse to any arbitrary constants of molecular origin, μ is next calculated from ψ in an exact manner and resolved into partial dipole contributions according to Ruedenberg's partitioning scheme. Agreement with experimental values is within a standard deviation of ± 0.4 debyes. The results are also compared with values obtained by other IEH procedures and the CNDO/2, INDO, and ab initio methods.
