Ller-Plesset perturbation theory

The interaction energy and its many-body partition for Bejv and Lii r N = 2 to 4) were calculated in by the SCF method and by the M/ller-Plesset perturbation theory up to the fourth order (MP4), in the frozen core approximation. The calculations were carried out using the triply split valence basis set [6-311+G(3df)].

To aid the modelers in developing improved reaction mechanisms as well as to aid the experimentalists in their interpretation of the data, we have calculated the energetics of molecular intermediates and products arising from these reactions. Our approach was to use the highly accurate fourth order M ller-Plesset perturbation theory (24) with bond-additivity corrections. (2 )... 

An important conclusion throwing some light on the reasons for the discrepancy between the semiempirical and the ab initio calculations of the mechanism of [4 4-2]-cycloaddition reactions was recently arrived at in Ref. [26] where the effect the correlation corrections have on the PES of this reaction was studied by means of the M ller-Plesset perturbation theory (see Sect. 2.2.4). The authors used the minimal STO-3G basis set and restricted themselves to the calculation of the section of the PES assuming the sum of the lengths of the forming 5-bonds to be equal to 4.4 A. Figure 10.2 shows...

The method used here for including the effects of electron correlation is M ller-Plesset perturbation theory carried out to second (MP2), third (MP3), and fourth (MP4) orders. This method has been applied to the determination of a large number of equilibrium geometries and to several simple reactions and has been found to be an efficient and reliable procedure for obtaining correlated electronic wave functions. 

Another popular approach to the correlation problem is the use of perturbation theory. Fq can be taken as an unperturbed wave function associated with a particular partitioning of the Hamiltonian perturbed energies and wave functions can then be obtained formally by repeatedly applying the perturbation operator to Probably the commonest partitioning is the M ller-Plesset scheme, which is used where Fq is the closed-shell or (unrestricted) open-shell Hartree-Fock determinant. Clearly, the perturbation energies have no upper bound properties but, like the CC results, they are size-consistent.
