The objects of the authors' investigation were five-membered rings with ine heteroatom in the ring, viz., tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydrothiophene, pyrrolidine, and N-methylpyrrolidine, as well as several 1,2- and 1,3-diheterocyclopentanes, viz., 1,2-dioxolane, 1,2-pyrazolidine, 1,3-dioxolane, 1,3-dithiolane, N,N'-dimethyl-1,3-imidazolidine, and N-methyl-1.3-oxazolidine. It is shown that among the various semiempirical variations of the SCF MO LCAO approximation, the MNDO method correctly and most accurately reproduces the equilibrium geometry of molecules of saturated five-membered heterocycles. The MINDO/3 method produces smaller deviations of the first ionization potentials from the experimental values than do the MNDO and CNDO/2 methods. An analysis of the photoelectron spectra has been carried out by this method on the basis of the data from calculations.
