ABSTRACT
Investigates the accuracy of molecular equilibrium structures of small closed-shell molecules containing first-row atoms as predicted by the standard electronic wave functions. Use of the correlation-consistent polarized valence double-zeta basis; Shortening the bond distances at all levels; Accuracy of the Moller-Plesset series oscillates.

It is shown that there exists a set of relations between position moments rk (with k being a nonnegative integer) linearly averaged over the wave function. The true wave function must satisfy all of these relations, and therefore they can be used as criteria to assess the accuracy of approximate...

Traditionally, molecules are theoretically described as near-static structures rotating in space. Vibrational motion causing small structural deformations induces a perturbative treatment of the rotationvibration interaction, which fails in highly fluxional molecules, where all vibrational...

The description and clarification of spectroscopies and properties goes through ab initio calculations. Wave function based calculations (CASSCF/CASPT2) are particularly appealing since they offer spectroscopic accuracy and means of interpretation. we performed such calculations to elucidate the...

The SchrÃ¶dinger equation (SE) and the antisymmetry principle constitute the governing principle of chemistry. A general method of solving the SE was presented before as the free complement (FC) theory, which gave highly accurate solutions for small atoms and molecules. We assume here to use...

We extend excited-state structural analysis to quantify the charge-resonance and multi-exciton character in wave functions of weakly interacting chromophores such as molecular dimers. The approach employs charge and spin cumulants which describe inter-fragment electronic correlations in...
