J. Masik et al., APPLICABILITY OF QUASI-DEGENERATE MANY-BODY PERTURBATION-THEORY TO THE GROUND-STATE OF THE F2 MOLECULE, International journal of quantum chemistry, 53(3), 1995, pp. 297-308
The ground-state potential energy curve of the F-2 molecule as well as
spectroscopic constants were calculated by means of the second-order
quasi-degenerate many-body perturbation theory within a full (eight) v
alence orbital space using a DZP basis set. The problem encountered wi
th a large number of valence electrons is avoided by a proper redefini
tion of the Fermi vacuum. A comparison with other related multireferen
ce techniques is also provided. (C) 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
