Third-order multireference perturbation theory: the n-electron valence state perturbation-theory approach.

TLDR
A formulation of the n-electron valence state perturbation theory (NEVPT) at the third order of perturbations is presented and the so-called strongly contracted variant of NEVPT, where only a subspace of the first-order interacting space is taken into account, is presented.
Abstract
A formulation of the n-electron valence state perturbation theory (NEVPT) at the third order of perturbation is presented. The present implementation concerns the so-called strongly contracted variant of NEVPT, where only a subspace of the first-order interacting space is taken into account. The resulting strongly contracted NEVPT3 approach is discussed in three test cases: (a) the energy difference between the 3B1 and 1A1 states of the methylene molecule, (b) the potential-energy curve of the N2 molecule ground state, and (c) the chromium dimer (Cr2) ground-state potential-energy profile. Particular attention is devoted to the last case where large basis sets comprising also h orbitals are adopted and where remarkable differences between the second- and third-order results show up.

Slow magnetization dynamics in a series of two-coordinate iron(II) complexes

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of two-coordinate complexes of iron(II) were prepared and studied for single-molecule magnet behavior, and the spin reversal barriers were fit by employing a sum of tunneling, direct, Raman and Orbach relaxation processes, resulting in spin reversal barrier of Ueff = 181, 146, 109, 104, and 43 cm−1 for 1−5, respectively.

Second-order perturbation theory with a density matrix renormalization group self-consistent field reference function: theory and application to the study of chromium dimer

TL;DR: The DMRG-CASPT2/cc-pwCV5Z calculations were performed with a large (3d double-shell) active space consisting of 28 orbitals and addressed the problems of why the dissociation energy is largely overestimated by CASPT2, and also is oversensitive to the choice of the zeroth-order Hamiltonian.

New perspectives in multireference perturbation theory: the n-electron valence state approach

TL;DR: The n-electron valence state perturbation theory (NEVPT) as mentioned in this paper is a form of multireference perturbations theory which is based on a zero order reference wave function of CAS-CI type (complete active space configuration interaction) and characterized by the utilization of correction functions (zero order wavefunctions external to the CAS) of multi-ireference nature, obtained through the diagonalization of a suitable twoelectron model Hamiltonian in some well defined determinant spaces.
