Abstract: The UHFcomputation for a fragment resulted from the breaking of the single bonds can′t ensure that each of the opened-shell delocalized FMO s (fragment molecular orbitals) Ψiohas a correct electronic occupancy. It is necessary to localize Ψiowith the Kost method. However, the Kost localization destroys the symmetry of the localized FMO basis set Ψ iin the case of fragments such as -CHCH- and CH that are the fragments of polynorbornyl diene and resulted from the breaking of two and three carbon-carbon single bonds respectively. In this work, the localized FMO basis Ψifor ethylenic group was taken as an example, the procedures for symmetrizing Ψiare detailed. At a higher Gaussian basis level such as 3-21G, the method that determines the length r of the bond between carbon atom and its one referential hydrogen HR is introduced.
