We propose a new variational fitting approach for Fock exchange that requires only the calculation of analytical three-center electron repulsion integrals. It relies on localized molecular orbitals and Hermite Gaussian auxiliary functions. The working equations along with a detailed description of the implementation are presented. The computational performance of the new algorithm is analyzed by benchmark calculations on systems with different dimensionality. Comparison with standard four-center and three-center electron repulsion integral Hartree-Fock calculations shows an excellent accuracy-performance relation.
