Methane, second hyperpolarizability dispersion coefficients

In the next section we derive the Taylor expansion of the coupled cluster cubic response function in its frequency arguments and the equations for the required expansions of the cluster amplitude and Lagrangian multiplier responses. For the experimentally important isotropic averages 7, 7i and yx we give explicit expressions for the A and higher-order coefficients in terms of the coefficients of the Taylor series. In Sec. 4 we present an application of the developed approach to the second hyperpolarizability of the methane molecule. We test the convergence of the hyperpolarizabilities with respect to the order of the expansion and investigate the sensitivity of the coefficients to basis sets and correlation treatment. The results are compared with dispersion coefficients derived by least square fits to experimental hyperpolarizability data or to pointwise calculated hyperpolarizabilities of other ab inito studies.
