Perturbation theory M0ller-Plesset

We expand the Hamiltonian and the IBCj in terms of a perturbation parameter p. in the spirit of M0ller-Plesset perturbation theory [34]. Details are found in Ref. [25]. We need not worry about the particle rank to which we have to go, since this is fully controlled by the perturbation expansion. We limit ourselves to a closed-shell state, such that the zeroth order is simply closed-shell Hartree-Fock. 

The Mpller-Plesset (MP) treatment of electron correlation [84] is based on perturbation theory, a very general approach used in physics to treat complex systems [85] this particular approach was described by M0ller and Plesset in 1934 [86] and developed into a practical molecular computational method by Binkley and Pople [87] in 1975. The basic idea behind perturbation theory is that if we know how to treat a simple (often idealized) system then a more complex (and often more realistic) version of this system, if it is not too different, can be treated mathematically as an altered (perturbed) version of the simple one. Mpller-Plesset calculations are denoted as MP, MPPT (M0ller-Plesset perturbation theory) or MBPT (many-body perturbation theory) calculations. The derivation of the Mpller-Plesset method [88] is somewhat involved, and only the flavor of the approach will be given here. There is a hierarchy of MP energy levels MPO, MP1 (these first two designations are not actually used), MP2, etc., which successively account more thoroughly for interelectronic repulsion. 

The //v7/ -t -isomerization of 3-chlorothietane-l-oxide 2a has been studied using ab initio methods <2001JMT235>, where for the prediction of this system s thermodynamics, the M0ller-Plesset perturbation theory has been used. The calculation predicted that in the gas phase the cA-isomer was predominantly present, reaching 85%, and that in solution of polar and nonpolar solvents the concentration of the zA-isomer decreased to 25%. Similar results have been found for 3-methylthietane-l-oxide 2b. For both compounds, transition states have been found to have a quasi-planar structure. Activation energies for compounds 2a and 2b have been computed and they were 49 and 45kcalmol 1 in the gas phase as well as 37 and 33 kcal mol 1 in solution, respectively. For... 

In the following we want to focus on some problems which arise if ab initio methods are used to calculate isotropic hfcc s. We will mostly concentrate on approaches where the Configuration Interaction (Cl) method is used in various versions. To illustrate the performance of other theoretical methods such as M0ller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP), Coupled Cluster methods (CC) or quadratic Cl (QCISD), the results obtained with those approaches will be compared for a few model systems. Because an understanding of the influences...

Things have moved on since the early papers given above. The development of M0ller-Plesset perturbation theory (Chapter 11) marked a turning point in treatments of electron correlation, and made such calculations feasible for molecules of moderate size. The Mpller-Plesset method is usually implemented up to MP4 but the convergence of the MPn series is sometimes unsatisfactory. The effect... 

In Table 6.3, the values of De for RfCU are compared with those obtained within various approximations using relativistic effective core potentials (RECP) Kramers-restricted Hartree-Fock (KRHF) (Han et al 1999), averaged RECP including second-order M0ller-Plesset perturbation theory (AREP-MP2) for the correlation part (Han et al. 1999), RECP coupled-cluster single double (triple) [CCSD(T)] excitations (Han et al. 1999), and a Dirac-Fock-Breit (DFB) method (Malli and Styszynski 1998). The AREP-MP2 calculation of De gives 20.4 eV, while the RECP-CCSD(T) method with correlation leads to 18.8 eV. Our value of De of 19.5 eV is just between these calculated values. 

In variational methods, the interaction energy is not calculated directly even if the M0ller-Plesset perturbation theory is used. We have to calculate the interaction energy at all calculation levels as a difference...
