What is INDO?
{{complex|date=November 2023}} {{About|a method in computational chemistry|the human INDO gene|Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase }} '''INDO''' stands for '''Intermediate Neglect of Differential Overlap'''. It is a [[semi-empirical quantum chemistry method]] that is a development of the [[CNDO/2|complete neglect of differential overlap]] (CNDO/2) method developed by [[John Pople]]. Like CNDO/2 it uses [[zero-differential overlap]] for the two-[[electron]] [[integral]]s. Integrals for over orbitals centered on the same [[atom]] are included in the INDO method.<ref>J. Pople, D.

But it is the basis for several other methods, such as [[MINDO]], [[ZINDO]] and [[SINDO]]. ==Related pages== *[[Computational chemistry]] == References == <references/> {{chem-stub}} [[Category:Semiempirical quantum chemistry methods]]
