The concept and generating method of optimum group symmetric localized molecular orbitals (OSLMOs) are proposed. The OSLMOs have strong points of orthogonality, equivalence and symmetry, and they are simultaneously as close to the classical VB structure as possible. By using the OSLMOs as one-electron orbitals the multiconfigurational correlation calculations are reduced. The scheme is also a valuable popularization and development to hybridization theory.
