Jg. Angyan, CHOOSING BETWEEN ALTERNATIVE MP2 ALGORITHMS IN THE SELF-CONSISTENT REACTION FIELD-THEORY OF SOLVENT EFFECTS, Chemical physics letters, 241(1-2), 1995, pp. 51-56
The MP2 energy and electronic density can be obtained in the framework
of the self-consistent reaction field theory of solvent effects by th
e simple application of the usual MP2 formulae using SCF orbitals whic
h have been optimized in the self-consistent reaction field of the SCF
density. Iterative schemes which apply an MP2-corrected density to ac
hieve self-consistency of the reaction field are not only computationa
lly much longer, but inconsistent, since they involve higher (fourth)
order corrections in the electron correlation.
