In this article, a perturbation theory for treating a system of n electrons in which the Hartree-Fock solution appears as the zero-order approximation was developed, and it was shown by this development that the first order correction for the energy and the charge density of the system is zero.Abstract:
A perturbation theory is developed for treating a system of n electrons in which the Hartree-Fock solution appears as the zero-order approximation. It is shown by this development that the first order correction for the energy and the charge density of the system is zero. The expression for the second-order correction for the energy greatly simplifies because of the special property of the zero-order solution. It is pointed out that the development of the higher approximation involves only calculations based on a definite one-body problem.read more

Oxidative Addition of the Chloromethane C-Cl Bond to Pd, an ab Initio Benchmark and DFT Validation Study.
TL;DR: Interestingly, all important features of the CCSD(T) benchmark potential energy surfaces for the Pd-induced activation of C-H, C-C, C -F, and C-Cl bonds are reproduced correctly within a few kcal/mol by BLYP, OlyP, and B3LYP, while at the same time, none of these functionals is the "best one" in each individual case.
