Fourth-order Moller-Plesset perturbation

Higher level calculations, based on higher orders of Moller-Plesset perturbation theory, can also be performed, albeit with the consumption of much more computer time. For example, an MP4SDTQ calculation uses fourth-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory, includes excitations through quadruples, and gives better energies than MP2 does.

These NMR results are consistent with MO calculations performed independently by Koch et al. (1988) and by the joint groups of Saunders, Schindler, Schleyer and Wiberg (Schleyer et al., 1988) at the MP2/6-31G and higher levels of theory (full fourth-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory ). The C4Hf-system consists, in the light of these calculations, of a cyclobutyl cation (better described as a nonclassical pentacoordinated bicyclobutanonium ion, 7.135) and a bisected cyclopropyl cation (7.132) with an isomerization barrier of 2.5 kJ mol ...

Ab initio calculations using the fourth-order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP4(SDTQ)) were performed on HeN " in its ground (X IT) and excited states ( X ) which both were found to be covalently bound. HeN is metastable and dissociates via the exothermic charge-separation reactions HeN (X Il) He ( S) + N ( P) and HeN (" 2 ) He ( S) + N ( D). There is a barrier to dissociation of 201.7 kJ/mol for ground-state HeN. Other calculated data are [1] ... 

Second order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory, MP2, overestimates the effects of electron correlation by an amount that increases with the size of the basis (4 kcal/mol overestimate with STO-3G, 9 kcal/mol with 3-21G, and 11 kcal/mol with 6-3IG ). Fourth-order perturbation, MP4, showed a much smaller error. The exact values are represented by the full Cl entries under... 

Correlation can be added as a perturbation from the Hartree-Fock wave function. This is called Moller-Plesset perturbation theory. In mapping the HF wave function onto a perturbation theory formulation, HF becomes a hrst-order perturbation. Thus, a minimal amount of correlation is added by using the second-order MP2 method. Third-order (MP3) and fourth-order (MP4) calculations are also common. The accuracy of an MP4 calculation is roughly equivalent to the accuracy of a CISD calculation. MP5 and higher calculations are seldom done due to the high computational cost (A time complexity or worse). 

In the Moller-Plesset perturbation method, the correlated system is considered to be a perturbation of the Hartree-Fock system. Consequently, each correlated configuration may be expressed as a linear combination of HF configurations. The acronyms MP2, MP3, MP4, etc. indicate Moiler-Plesset methods truncated at the second, third or fourth order of perturbation. Only the MP2 method is of common use. In higher order MP models, geometry must be optimized numerically.

Theoretically calculated formation enthalpies from ab initio MO methods, including the Moller-Plesset perturbation theory up to the fourth order, are in good agreement with experimental data [1, 2]. A modified procedure (to give singlet-triplet separations) yielded A,h = 260.9 and A H298 = 261.8 [7].
