A modified form of the MINDO/3 method has been devised for calculating energies of formation and geometries for hydrogen-bonded complexes (the MINDO/3-HB method). The parametrization has been derived for the cases of hydrogen bonds involving O and N atoms. Tests on a wide range of complexes have shown that the accuracy is in no way inferior to that of a nonempirical method in the STO 4-31G basis. The MINDO/3-HB calculations retain the advantages of the original MINDO/3 method.
