Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the applicability of the Valence Effective Hamiltonian (VEH) method to calculations of theoretical molecular linear polarizabilities by the Sum-Over-States (SOS) methodology. Test calculations are presented on the polyene series. They indicate that the method gives qualitatively the same trends asab initio small basis sets calculations.
