The recently developed variational cellular method (VCM) is used to investigate the ground and excited electronic structures of F 2 and Ne 2 molecules. This work reports our first attempt to apply the VCM to the study of molecular excited states. It is concluded that VCM yields potential energy curves for these molecules with a good degree of physical realism.
