Formulas are derived for all Hamiltonian integrals required for molecular computations using a novel basis for single‐center expansions. The basis orbitals depend exponentially upon α( r − ρ) 2 where r and ρ are the distance from center to electron and to a variationally scaled spherical shell, respectively. Comparisons are made between these so‐called Gaussian shell orbitals ( GSO ) and the conventional GTO and STO bases for single‐center calculations. A preliminary comparison on H 2 +using a single GSO , a non‐integer STO , and a GTO gives the optimized energies: −0.51089 a.u., −0.50504 a.u., and −0.50422 a.u., respectively.
