A perturbative correction, termed RCIS (D), to restricted open shell single excitation configuration interaction (ROCIS) is formulated and implemented for excited states of radicals. RCIS(D) gives spin-pure energies (but not wavefunctions), is size-consistent, and has computational complexity scalin

โฆ Synopsis
A perturbative correction to the method of configuration interaction with single substitutions (CIS) is presented. This CIS( D) correction approximately introduces the effect of double substitutions which are absent in CIS excited states. CIS (D) is a secondorder perturbation expansion of the coupled-cluster excited state method, restricted to single and double substitutions, in a series in which CIS is zeroth order, and the first-order correction vanishes. CIS(D) excitation energies are size consistent and the calculational complexity scales with the fifth power of molecular size, akin to second-order Meller-Plesset theory for the ground state. Calculations on singlet excited states of ethylene, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, butadiene and benzene show that CIS( D) is a uniform improvement over CIS. CIS (D) appears to be a promising method for examining excited states of large molecules, where more accurate methods are not feasible.
