A method is described for calculating cohesive energies of solids in the single‐determinant approximation including the full Hartree‐Fock exchange. The method involves ( 1 ) the construction of a rapidly convergent series in vectors of the direct and reciprocal lattice for the Fock matrix, ( 2 ) a decoupling procedure for the k ‐dependence of the Fock matrix, which works even in the case of strong interatomic overlap. An application to Li and Be is given. Agreement with experiment to 10% is achieved for the cohesive energies and to 5% for the equilibrium lattice constants.
