✦ Synopsis
Full-CI calculations have been performed on the four-electron model systems He...He and H2...H2 in order to compare the a postedori Boys-Bernardi (counterpoise) and the a priori CHA ('chemical Hamiltonian approach') schemes for correcting BSSE ('basis set superposition error') at the electron correlation level. The results indicate that the CHA scheme performs excellently for correlated systems: analogously to the previous SCF calculations, the Boys-Bernardi and the CHA schemes lead to similar results. The correlation contributions to the interaction energy are especially close; the Boys-Bernardi scheme exhibits a slight 'overcompensation' effect in the van der Waals region, as could be expected. The counterpoise-corrected Mzller-Plesset MP2 and MP4 perturbational results are also compared with the full-CI ones and a proposition is put forward for a proper definition of the quantity 'BSSE-free interaction energy in a given basis'.

## Abstract The possible existence of spurious terms increasing as the square of the number of electrons is theoretically proved for the CI treatments of molecules limited to single and double excitations, and is revealed by some numerical calculations (alcanes and juxtaposed hydrogen molecules). A
It is demonstrated by direct comparison with a full CI calculation for BH (DZ basis at re) that the corresponding energy value can be obtained to hi@ accuracy (0.01 kJ/mol-l) by employins cstrapolation from a series of MRD CI trurments which consider at most a small fraction of the total configurati
