Abstract
Using recently published analytical SCF wave functions from $Xenon,^{1}$ the one-electron molecular energies of Xenon Tetrafluoride have been redetermined in the Wolfsberg-Helmholz semiempirical $approximations.^{2}$ Unlike similar previous investigations, the present study takes into consideration ligand-ligand overlap, and uses the recent proposed reciprocal mean for the semiempirical evaluation of the resonance $integrals.^{2}$ The outcome of study suggests an alternate description of the bonding in $XeF_{4}$ than previously $forwarded.^{4, 5, 6}$
