Unorthodox dimensional interpolations for He, Li, Be atoms and hydrogen molecule

We present a simple interpolation formula using dimensional limits $D=1$ and $D=\infty$ to obtain the $D=3$ ground-state energies of atoms and molecules. For atoms, these limits are linked by first-order perturbation terms of electron-electron interactions. This unorthodox approach is illustrated by ground-states for two, three, and four electron atoms, with modest effort to obtain fairly accurate results. Also, we treat the ground-state of H$_2$ over a wide range of the internuclear distance R, and compares well with the standard exact results from the Full Configuration Interaction method. Similar dimensional interpolations may be useful for complex many-body systems.
