As recently shown, size extensivily of any truncated or selected CI may be obtained by a self-consistent dressing of the determinant energies. This dressing has been implemented in two direct CI algorithms and its efficiency is illustrated on a series of eight-electron problems for which full-Cl res

โฆ Synopsis
The size consistency of selected multireference CI approaches is tested on two model problems, namely seven non-interacting H, molecules at their equilibrium bond length r, or at 2r, and seven non-interacting Ne atoms, In all cases the results obtained from the two-class CIPSI method (which is a multireference MP2 procedure) are suprisingly good. The threeclass CIPSI algorithm (which is an approximation of MR-SDCI) is much superior to SDCI, especially when the selection introduces the largest quadruply excited components. The implication of size-consistency error on dissociation energies is discussed.

## Abstract The graphical unitary group approach has been applied in an efficient implementation of a general multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) method for use with small active molecular orbital spaces in a semiempirical framework. Gradients can be computed analytically for molecular
