摘要: Researchers determined the equilibrium geometries and binding energies of Be Mg trimers, tetramers pentamers using single double excitation coupled cluster (CCSD) complete active space self-consistent-field (CASSCF) multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) wave functions in conjunction with extended atomic basis sets. Best estimates are 24, 83 110 kcal/mole for Be3, Be4 Be5; 9, 31 41 Mg3, Mg4 Mg5, respectively. A comparison MRCI CCSD results shows that even best single-reference approach (limited to excitations) is not capable quantitative accuracy determining clusters.
