A Koopmans-like approximation is introduced in the spin-polarized version of the Kohn-Sham (KS) density functional theory to obtain a relation between KS orbital energies and vertical ionization potential and electron affinity. Expressions for reactivity indexes (like electronegativity, hardness, electrophilicity, and excitation energies) include KS frontier orbital energies and additional contributions associated with the self-interaction correction. Those reactivity parameters were computed with different exchange-correlation functionals to test the approach for a set of small molecules. The results show that the present approximation provides a better way to estimate hardness, electronegativity, and electrophilicity than just the use of frontier orbital energy values. However KS HOMO and LUMO energy gap gives a better agreement with excitation energies.
