9 Block-Localized Density functional theory (BLDFT) Multistate is linear combination of each charge localized state and MSDFT is based on the BLDFT to calculate the Hamiltonian of each charge localized state. The fundamental assumption in the BLDFT method is that the total elections and basis functions of the system can be divided into subgroups called blocks or fragments corresponding to the desired charge and spin character Chlorofluoromethyl system [F] - [CH 3 ] + [Cl] - [F] - [CH 3 ] + [Cl] - block-localized MOs Unlike conventional molecular orbital theory or density functional theory, the molecular orbitals of BLDFT are constructed using basis functions with each individual block, or molecular fragment. u N u ˆ - - 1(F ) 2(CH3 ) 3(CI A[ )] Cembran, Song, Mo & Gao, JCTC 2009, 5, 2702.
