Density Functional |
Density functional models typically provide results of a quality
comparable to conventional correlated models such as MP2, but at a
cost only slightly greater than that of Hartree-Fock models. As such,
they are particularly useful for high-quality structure, energy and
property calculations, including calculations on transition-metal
inorganic and organometallic compounds. Density functional models
are applicable to molecules containg upwards of 50 atoms.
SVWN (local density), BP, BLYP, EDF1 and B3LYP models are supported
with the same basis sets and pseudopotentials as available for Hartree-Fock
models. |

Møller-Plesset |
MP2 is perhaps the simplest model to take reasonable account of
electron correlation, and generally provides accurate descriptions
both of equilibrium structure and conformation and the energetics
of a variety of chemical reactions, including reactions where chemical
bonds are broken. It is supported with the same basis sets and pseudopotentials
available for Hartree-Fock and density functional models and is applicable
to molecules containing upwards of 20 atoms.
MP3 and MP4 models are available for single-point energy calculations
only, as is low-cost localized orbital varient of MP2. The same basis
sets and pseudopotentials supported for MP2 are available. |

Advanced Correlated |
A number of high-order correlated models are available for energy
calculations only. These include CCSD, CCSD(T), OD and OD(T) models,
with the same basis sets and pseudopotentials available for Hartree-Fock,
density functional and Møller-Plesset calculations. Additionally,
G2 and G3 calculations may be performed. |

Excited-State Methods |
Calculations on excited states may be perfomed using CIS and CIS(D)
models in addition to the entire range of density functional models.
The same basis sets and pseudopotentials supported for ground-state
calculations are available. |
