26. In the condensed-matter community, strictly localized orbitals often refer to orbitals that vanish exactly at some finite distance. In the present work, strictly localized orbitals are employed in the sense usually used in the quantum chemistry community, i.e., orbitals expanded on Gaussian or Slater basis functions centered on a single atom. Thus, these orbitals vanish exactly only at infinite distance.

60. In our BOVB wave functions, we use different sets of orbital coefficients, but a single set of basis exponents are shared by all orbital sets.

63. Bouaba (Ref.) have introduced a wave function with several Jastrow factors attached to individual molecular orbitals. With such a wave function, the correlation effects can be treated differently in atomic and binding regions. In the case of the hydrogen fluoride (FH) molecule, no atomic core Jastrow was used and two different valence Jastrow factors (one for the lone pairs paying a role in the bond and the other one for the -bond) were introduced. The resulting binding energy was essentially exact within error bars. Combining the various VB wave functions discussed in this work with this multi-Jastrow approach is presently under investigation.
