In this framework, the Hartree-Fock energy is the sum of the zero and first-order Moller-Plesset energies.

The second part contains detailed discussions and performance analyses of parallel algorithms for a number of important and widely used quantum chemistry procedures and methods. The book presents schemes for the parallel computation of two-electron integrals, details the Hartree-Fock procedure, considers the parallel computation of second-order Moller-Plesset energies, and examines the difficulties of parallelizing local correlation methods. 

In Moller-Plesset theory this sum is just the Hartree-Fock energy. The second term on the right-hand-side of equation (97) is the second-order Moller-Plesset energy, frequently designated MP2,... 

An efficient approach to improve on the Hartree-Fock Slater determinant is to employ Moller-Plesset perturbation theory, which works satisfactorily well for all molecules in which the Dirac-Hartree-Fock model provides a good approximation (i.e., in typical closed-shell single-determinantal cases). The four-component Moller-Plesset perturbation theory has been implemented by various groups [519,584,595]. A major bottleneck for these calculations is the fact that the molecular spinor optimization in the SCF procedure is carried out in the atomic-orbital basis set, while the perturbation expressions are given in terms of molecular spinors. Hence, all two-electron integrals required for the second-order Moller-Plesset energy expression must be calculated from the integrals over atomic-orbital basis functions like...

To obtain an improvement on the Hartree-Fock energy it is therefore necessary to use Moller-Plesset perturbation theory to at least second order. This level of theory is referred to as MP2 and involves the integral J dr. The higher-order wavefunction g is... 

Among the most widely used ab initio methods are those referred to as Gl" and 02." These methods incorporate large basis sets including d and / orbitals, called 6-311. The calculations also have extensive configuration interaction terms at the Moller-Plesset fourth order (MP4) and fiirther terms referred to as quadratic configuration interaction (QCISD). ° Finally, there are systematically applied correction terms calibrated by exact energies from small molecules.

Molecular frequencies depend on the second derivative of the energy with respect to the nuclear positions. Analytic second derivatives are available for the Hartree-Fock (HF keyword). Density Functional Theory (primarily the B3LYP keyword in this book), second-order Moller-Plesset (MP2 keyword) and CASSCF (CASSCF keyword) theoretical procedures. Numeric second derivatives—which are much more time consuming—are available for other methods. 

Nobes, Pople, Radotn, Handy and Knowles have studied the convergence of the Moller-Plesset orders in some detail. They computed the energies of hydrogen cyanide, cyanide anion and cyano radical through order 24 as well as at the full Configuration Interaction level. Here are some of their results ... 

Thus, the value of E the first perturbation to the Hartree-Fock energy, will always be negative. Lowering the energy is what the exact correction should do, although the Moller-Plesset perturbation theory correction is capable of overcorrecting it, since it is not variational (and higher order corrections may be positive). 

An alternative way to compute the correlation energy is the Moller-Plesset perturbation method. The correlation energy is treated as a perturbation and the electronic Hamiltonian is expressed as ...
