Optimization of parameters for semiempirical methods VI: more modifications to the NDDO approximations and re-optimization of parameters

Short summary

The new PM7 semiempirical method reduces average unsigned errors in bond lengths by ~5% and heats of formation by ~10% for gas-phase organic systems compared to PM6, and dramatically improves accuracy for organic solids (60% reduction in ΔHf error).
