It is exploited to compute the electronic energies of H2O and CH2(singlet and triplet states) at equilibrium and non-equilibrium geometries. The potential energy curves of H2O, CH2(singlet and triplet states) and N2 have also been calculated with IMRCI as well as the M?ller Plesset perturbation theory (MP2, MP3, and MP4), the coupled cluster method with single and double substitutions (CCSD), and CCSD with perturbative triples correction (CCSD(T)).These calculations demonstrate that IMRCI results are independent of the initial guess of configuration functions in the reference space and converge quickly to the results of the full configuration interaction. The IMRCI errors relative to the full configuration interaction results are at the order of magnitude of 10-5 hartree within just 2-4 iterations. Further,IMRCI provides an efficient way to find on the potential energy surface the leading electron configurations which, as correct reference states, will be very helpful for the single-reference and multireference theoretical models to obtain accurate results.展开更多

The four PECs are fitted to analytical potential energy functions using the Murrel-Sorbie potential function. Based on the PECs, the vibrational levels of the four states are determined by solving the Schrodinger equation of nuclear motion, and corresponding spectroscopic constants are accurately calculated. The equilibrium positions as well as the spectroscopic constants and the vibrational levels are reported. By our analysis, the ^3∏ state, of which the dissociation asymptote is Cd（^1S） ＋ Se（^3p）, is identified as a ground state of CdSe dimer, and the corresponding dissociation energy is estimated to be 0.39eV. However, the first excited state is only 1132.49cm^-1 above the ground state and the ^3∑ state is the highest in the four calculated states.展开更多

Int J Quant Chem, 2002, 86: 256) is investigated theoretically with a su-per-molecular model composed of N-hydrogen molecules separated by a large distance. It is found that the two perturbation series corresponding to two Hamiltonian partitions are not size consistent at the second and third order. However, two size consistent forms are suggested for two Hamiltonian parti-tions at the second order, if some approximations to the denominators of the original second order energies are assumed.展开更多

Comparison with the results from other highly accurate theoretical methods or the available experimental data demonstrate that for all the problems studied, the overall performance of CAS-BCCC4 is competitive with that of MR-CISD+Q, and better than that of CASPT2 and MR-CISD methods. Thus the CAS-BCCC4 approach is expected to be a promising theoretical method for quantitative descriptions of the electronic structures of molecules with noticeable multireference character.展开更多
