A modification of virtual orbitals seems to be an inexpensive way of calculating a large part of the correlation energy. Three types of MVOS have been compared in this paper, on the basis of limited valence‐shell CI calculations for some lower states of the H 2 O molecule: A — orthogonalized eigenfunctions of exchange operators; B — eigenfunctions of one combined exchange operator; C — eigenfunctions of the Fock operator for a highly ionized system. For small virtual spaces (20% of available orbitals used), approach C gives 70% of E corr CI‐SD , being superior to the two other approaches. When using only 50% of MVOS , all the three types of approaches result in calculating 90% of E corr CI‐SD , but the ionic orbitals give a better description of the state separations.
