It is shown that the usual molecular orbital treatment for the mobile electrons in unsaturated hydrocarbon molecules is not always satisfactory, since it does not yield a self-consistent field. The conditions under which the field is self-consistent are analysed, and are shown to be satisfied in many cases.
