Using a single determinant to derive the Hartree-Fock wavefunction does not take into account the correlation between electrons of different spins. If the wavefunction is described by a linear combination of determinants, then configuration interaction is incorporated. Another method to model correlation energy involves Moller-Plesset perturbation theory. A more detailed description of this may be found in Ref. 41. 

Over the decade 1995-2005, ab initio quantum chemistry has become an important tool in studying imidazole derivatives. Two highly productive approaches are often utilized for the calculations the wave function-based methods (e.g., Hartree-Fock theory and second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2)) and the density functional theory (DFT) based methods (e.g., gradient-corrected (BLYP) and hybrid (B3LYP) methods). 

A few quantum-chemical ab initio calculations dealt with the electronic structure and some molecular parameters of PH". Accordingly, the ground state, derived from that of the neutral molecule by adding a 2n (P3p7r) electron, is KL (4a)2 (5o) (2n), X rij [7]. The best theoretical value so far for the total molecular energy at the equilibrium internuclear distance, Et = -341.46363 Eh, was obtained from a recent G2 calculation by using a method that treats the electron correlation by Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP4) and quadratic configuration interaction (QCI) [8]. 

Ab initio calculations (unrestricted Moller-Plesset perturbation theory of 2nd order) revealed PHj not to be stable with respect to electron detachment. The anion lies at least AE = 0.5 eV above PH3 [1]. AE=1.5 eV was derived from electron transmission spectra of PH3... 

The conclusion of this section is that analytic calculation of dipole moment derivatives is practicable and efficient for the most widely used ab initio methods, i.e. SCF, MC-SCF, Cl and Moller-Plesset perturbation theory. The author is not aware of any calculations of this type to date using correlated wavefunction methods, but it cannot be long before examples of these appear. 

We will frequently rely on Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP-PT) as a means to order and classify terms occurring in the derivations. MP-PT uses Hartree-Fock as its zeroth approximation ... 

The mechanism of the a,a-L-diarylprolinol-catalysed asymmetric epoxidation of enones with TBHP has been studied by second-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory and DFT calculations. Non-covalent activation of the reactants is shown to initiate an energetically viable pathway, thereby a two-step nucleophilic epoxidation mechanism, with the first oxa-Michael addition being the rate- and stereoselectivity-determining step. Consistent with the experimental findings, the formation of the (2/ ,35)-enantiomer of the epoxide, derived from trani -chalcone, is energetically favoured." ... 

First principles methods need less parametrisation, since the hamiltonian is built up from more fundamental principles, although simplifications and even some level of parametrisation remains necessary for practical use. For instance, in the case of DFT, that point is particularly evident in the construction of the exchange-correlation energy functional, which is not known a priori for an arbitrary molecular system. ° In the case of Hartree-Fock, the correlation effects are not considered and post-Hartree Fock adjustments are necessary to include such effects, for instance in the form of perturbative expansion terms of the type derived in the Moller-Plesset perturbation theory of second order (MP2). ... 

This initial guess may then be inserted on the right-hand sides of the equations and subsequently used to obtain new amplitudes. The process is continued until self-consistency is reached. For the special case in which canonical Hartree-Fock molecular orbitals are used, the Fock matrix is diagonal and the T2 amplitude approximation above is exactly the same as the first-order perturbed wave-function parameters derived from Moller-Plesset theory (cf. Eq. [212]). In that case, the Df and arrays contain the usual molecular orbital energies, and the initial guess for the T1 amplitudes vanishes. 

Accuracy of the SLG approximation can be improved by perturbation theory. Second quantization provides us a powerful tool in developing a many-body theory suitable to derive interbond delocalization and correlation effects. The first question concerns the partitioning of the Hamiltonian to a zeroth-order part and perturbation. LFsing a straightforward generalization of the Moller-Plesset (1934) partitioning, the zeroth-order Hamiltonian is chosen as the sum of the effective intrabond Hamiltonians ...
