The MNDO method has been used in the last few years with growing frequency for the investigation of organic and organometallic compounds and is gradually displacing other semiempirical calculation schemes. The MNDOC method was developed on the basis of the MNDO method and makes it possible to take into account electron correlation in the framework of perturbation theory. It was specifically designed for the study of excited states and calculations of the potential energy surfaces of chemical reactions. A new modification of the MNDO method, known as the AM1 method, now exists. These methods have been used to simulate the atomic parameters of H, C, N, O, Li, Be, B, F, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Br, Sn, and I. This paper briefly assesses the uses of MNDO and its two modifications.
