Reference determinant

It is particularly desirable to use MCSCF or MRCI if the HF wave function yield a poor qualitative description of the system. This can be determined by examining the weight of the HF reference determinant in a single-reference Cl calculation. If the HF determinant weight is less than about 0.9, then it is a poor description of the system, indicating the need for either a multiple-reference calculation or triple and quadruple excitations in a single-reference calculation. 

Electron correlation is often very important as well. The presence of multiple bonding interactions, such as pi back bonding, makes coordination compounds more sensitive to correlation than organic compounds. In some cases, the HF wave function does not provide even a qualitatively correct description of the compound. If the weight of the reference determinant in a single-reference CISD calculation is less than about 0.9, then the HF wave function is not qualitatively correct. In such cases, multiple-determinant, MSCSF, CASPT2, or MRCI calculations tend to be the most efficient methods. The alternative is... 

For F , still the most difficult case, the pole strength is 0.90. The 2p orbital in the reference determinant dominates the normalized DO with a coefficient of 0.9997. In the U vector of equation 17, the lpp 2pa3 2p0 contribution ss 0.1. 

The Brueckner-reference method discussed in Section 5.2 and the cc-pvqz basis set without g functions were applied to the vertical ionization energies of ozone [27]. Errors in the results of Table IV lie between 0.07 and 0.17 eV pole strengths (P) displayed beside the ionization energies are approximately equal to 0.9. Examination of cluster amplitudes amd elements of U vectors for each ionization energy reveals the reasons for the success of the present calculations. The cluster operator amplitude for the double excitation to 2bj from la is approximately 0.19. For each final state, the most important operator pertains to an occupied spin-orbital in the reference determinant, but there are significant coefficients for 2h-p operators. For the A2 case, a balanced description of ground state correlation requires inclusion of a 2p-h operator as well. The 2bi orbital s creation or annihilation operator is present in each of the 2h-p and 2p-h operators listed in Table IV. Pole strengths are approximately equal to the square of the principal h operator coefiScient and contributions by other h operators are relatively small. 

Here, /j and rj are the l" left- and the J right-hand eigenvectors of the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian H. The operator is represented on the space spanned by the manifold created by the excitations out of a Hartree-Fock reference determinant, including the null excitation (the reference function). When we calculate the transition probability between a ground state g) and an excited state ]e), we need to evaluate and The reference function is a right-... 

As has been pointed out in the past (e.g. concerning the linear-cyclic equilibrium in Ceand Cio carbon clusters (40)), Hartree-Fock underestimates the resonance stabilization of aromatic relative to non-aromatic systems (in the case at hand, between the N- and / -protonated isomers) and MP2 overcorrects. The structures are found to be nearly isoenergetic at the CCSD level inclusion of connected triple excitations favors the N-protonated ion. The direction of the effect of connected quadruples is somewhat unclear, and a CCSD(TQ) or CCSDT(Q) calculation impossible on systems this size, but the contribution will anyhow be much smaller in absolute magnitude than that of connected triple excitations, particularly for systems like these which are dominated by a single reference determinant. We may therefore infer that at the full Cl limit, the N-protonated species will be slightly more stable than its / -protonated counterpart. 

Two important remarks are in order here. The first is that eq. (3) does not impose any limitation on the degree of excitation of ([) , so that can be calculated whatever the composition and symmetry of Sq. In this way, even if eqs. (1), (2) and (4) assume a single reference determinant, the SDCI space that constitutes Sq can be built as a MR-SDCI and the procedure described above can be applied. The second is that care must be taken to remove the possible redundancies that could be present if Dj( i belongs to the model space Spg. In such a case, the physical effects included in each term of eq. (3) would be included twice in the diagonalization of H + A. ... 

Figure 1. The orbital classification used in the active-space Cl, MRMBPT, and the Cl- and MRMBPT-corrected MMCC methods, such as MMCC(2,3)/CI and MMCC(2,3)/PT. Core, active, and virtual orbitals are represented by solid, dashed, and dotted lines, respectively. Full and open circles represent core and active electrons of the reference determinant ) (the closed-shell reference ) is assumed).

In the specific case of the MMCC(2,3)/PT approximation, we go one step further and, after rewriting each I l p), Eq. (89), in the form of the Cl expansion relative to the reference determinant ) used in the CCSD and EOMCCSD calculations whose results we want to improve. 

The simplest and most accurate way to determine the composition of the product is by proton n.m.r. spectroscopy. The ratio of the oxirane hydrogen atoms cis 4.48 p.p.m. and trans 3.97 p.p.m. downfield from internal tetramethylsilane reference, determined in carbon tetrachloride or deuteriochloro-form solution)3 gives directly the ratio of the isomers.
