Abstract:
A variant of the MP2-R12 class of theories is introduced using an arbitrary geminal function in the place of r12. Integrals are derived for the case where the geminal is expanded in a basis of Gaussian functions in the interelectronic distance. Recurrence relations are derived that do not depend on the exponents of the Gaussian geminals, allowing much of the integration work to be performed after summations over the geminal expansion. Sample calculations at various levels of explicitly correlated MP2 theory are presented for He, Ne, and water.

A Frost circle is constructed by drawing a polygon whose number of edges is equal to the number of carbons of the given cyclic system, with one of the vertices pointing down. Then, a circle is drawn enclosing the polygon so that...

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
