Kv. Mikkelsen et al., A MULTICONFIGURATION SELF-CONSISTENT REACTION FIELD RESPONSE METHOD, The Journal of chemical physics, 100(9), 1994, pp. 6597-6607
A multiconfiguration self-consistent reaction field linear response me
thod is presented for calculating frequency-dependent molecular proper
ties as well as electronic excitation energies and transition moments
of solvated molecules. Sample calculations are presented of a solvated
water molecule and show a substantial dependence on the properties of
the surrounding solvent. The solvent effect cannot be described as a
correction to the vacuum value involving simple scalar factors.
