Least-squares representations of the 3s and 3p Slater-type atomic Orbitals by a small number of Gaussian functions are presented. The use of these Gaussian representations in self-consistent molecular orbital calculations extends our previous study to molecules containing second row elements. Calculated atomization energies, electric dipole moments, and atomic charges are shown to rapidly converge (with increasing number of Gaussians) to their Slater limits. Results of valence shell optimization studies on a series of secondrow compounds are nearly independent of the level of the Gaussian approximation, and they allow a set of standard molecular f exponents to be proposed.
