The occupation numbers and natural orbitals of several model π‐electron molecules are presented and analyzed, which are directly calculated by employing a theory developed earlier by one of the authors. Computational details are discussed briefly, and the errors which arise in our calculations are estimated through a comparison with the density matrix of a full configuration interaction wave function for the pyridine molecule.
