MP2 energy

There is also a local MP2 (LMP2) method. LMP2 calculations require less CPU time than MP2 calculations. LMP2 is also less susceptible to basis set superposition error. The price of these improvements is that about 98% of the MP2 energy correction is recovered by LMP2. 

The table indicates how resource usage varies by problem size. For example, it indicates that for direct MP2 energy calculations, CPU requirements scale roughly as the fourth power of the number of basis functions if the number of electrons stays the same. Using the table with timings from previous jobs (using the same method and executed on the same computer system) should enable you to estimate how long a potential job will run. 

Note that all of the required MP2 energies can be extracted from the previously-run MP4 jobs in steps 3 through 5. Thus, after algebraic manipulation, the final formula is ... 

Without the Lagrange teehnique for non-variational wave functions (Cl, MP and CC), the nth-order CPHF is needed for the nth-derivative. Consider for example the MP2 energy correction, eq. (4.45). 

Geometry errors increase with the size of a system when the number of nonbonded interactions increases, and folded conformations are differently affected than extended ones. That is, MP2-energies calculated at HF-geometries can be inaccurate, because geometry errors are not necessarily the same in different conformations of the same molecule. Regarding the molecular structures it can be shown that, even when differences between MP2 geometries and the HF equivalents are small, they can be significant.

Table 27 (Y = F, Br, H, NH2, Cl, CH3CH3, OH, CH3, SiH3 and C(0)CH3) gives an average (absolute) MP2 error of 2.1 kcalmol-1 and an average MP4 error of 3.6 kcalmol-1. In this comparison, where there was a choice of experimental BDE, the one closest to the calculated values was chosen for the averages. This selectivity does not affect the relative results between MP2 and MP4, and the outcome here, like for the CH3—Y comparison above, is that the MP2 energy is generally closer to experiment.

Finally, the G3(MP2) method can also be modified to employ multiplicative scale factors. The resulting G3S(MP2) energy expression is... 

Several methods have been developed for establishing the MP2 limit for small molecules. We shall compare three of the most important methods, and a recently proposed combination of two of them that achieves a new level of efficiency in obtaining chemically accurate absolute MP2 energy limits. We conclude with a case study of the extension of these approaches to enzyme kinetics, namely the A5-ketosteroid isomerase-catalyzed conversion of A5-androstene-3,17-dione to the A4 isomer.

G. A Split-Valence Basis Set in which each Core Basis Function is written in terms of six Gaussians, and each Valence Basis Function is split into three parts, written in terms of three, one and one Gaussians, respectively. 6-3IIG basis sets have been determined to yield the lowest total MP2 Energies for atoms. 

Models terminated to a given order, e.g., the MP2 energy is the energy of the second-order Moller-Plesset Model (or MP2). 

Thus, triple-f MP2 energies at double-1 MP2 geometries are augmented witli a correction for doubles contributions beyond second order (line 2 on die r.h.s. of Eq. (7.61)) and a correction for basis set size increase beyond triple-f (line 3 on die r.h.s. of Eq. (7.61) where the T superscript in the first basis set implies that polarization functions from cc-pVTZ were used in conjunction with valence functions from cc-pVQZ).
