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 $XeF4$ than previously $forwarded.4,5,6$
