Popis: The use of symmetry-adapted linear combinations (SALC) of atomic orbitals in large unit cell (LUC) calculations of solids is considered. A procedure is proposed of SALC generation being convenient for the automation in computer calculations. It is shown that the use of the SALC in the semiempirical LUC calculations has advantages in essential computer time and memory savings and in simple distinction of the infinite crystal band states from the molecular orbitals obtained. The results of complete neglect of differential overlap (CNDO) calculations of LiF crystal LUC's in Li8F8 and Li32F32 are discussed. [Russian Text Ignored].
