Abstract: Ageneralized multi-bonded tableau self-consistent field program(MBTSCF)is framed.The program can optimize the expansion coefficients of single-electron orbitals as well as those of bonded tableaus simultaneously.Though the expansion space of a singleelectron orbital can be defined arbitrarily, we suggest to adopt the form of a hybrid orbital whose expansion space is the basis functions of an unique atom.Test calculations to H2, Li2 and HLi are performed with different basis sets.The results show that the total energies resulted from 3BTSCF, where 3BT's correspond to resonance structures A-B, A+-B-and A--B+ for a diatomic molecule AB, are rather near to those resulted from MP2 calcula tions.Moreover, our method can be used to discuss the covalence and ionicity of a true molecular bond very intuitively.
