What Does TMO Stand For?

TMO stands for Truncated Molecular Orbital

TMO, or Truncated Molecular Orbital, refers to a computational chemistry method that simplifies the study of molecular systems by reducing the complexity of orbital interactions. This approach focuses on a limited subset of molecular orbitals, allowing for efficient calculations while maintaining accuracy in predicting electronic properties and behavior of molecules. TMOs are especially useful in systems where full molecular orbital theories would be computationally prohibitive, facilitating the analysis of larger molecules and complex reactions.
