Explicit-r12 correlation methods and local correlation methods
Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2008, 10, 3318
DOI: 10.1039/b808067b
There have been many recent improvements in computational methods for solving the infamous electron correlation problem. This Editorial introduces the papers in this Themed Issue by putting them into a broader perspective.
Papers
Implementation of the CCSD(T)-F12 method using cusp conditions
Denis Bokhan, Seiichiro Ten-no and Jozef Noga,
Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2008, 10, 3320
DOI: 10.1039/b803426p
The CCSD(T)-F12 method using cusp conditions gives theoretical enthalpies of 13 isogyric chemical reactions accurate to 2 kJ mol-1.
Analysis of non-covalent interactions in (bio)organic molecules using orbital-partitioned localized MP2
Stefan Grimme, Christian Mück-Lichtenfeld and Jens Antony,
Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2008, 10, 3327
DOI: 10.1039/b803508c
Inter-molecular or inter-fragment pair correlation contributions aggregated as 
–, –
, –, etc. are investigated. They are representative of the mode of interaction and the breakdowns are transferrable. This approach yields important insight into non-covalent interactions also regarding the accuracy of the MP2 method.
