✦ Synopsis


The restricted Hartree-Fock method is subject to a first-order perturbation theory regularization of the electron repulsion integrals representation, to mimic the electron-electron correlation hole effect. The efficiency of this regularization is demonstrated for electron affinities and ionization energies of atoms, and on atomization energies of molecules. The accuracy of the method is comparable to that of modem density functional approaches as it provides significant improvement on standard Hartree-Fock results. Conceptual similarities with density functional theory are discussed, as are the implications for ab initio calculations on large systems.

## Abstract A major unresolved problem of density functional theory is the yet unknown exchange‐correlation functional, which leads to a proliferation of its less or more successful approximations. A practical implementation of these numerous functionals can present a substantial challenge particul

We present results from ab initio and density functional theory studies of the mechanism for serine hydrolase catalyzed ester hydrolysis. A model system containing both the catalytic triad and the oxyanion hole was studied. The catalytic triad was represented by formate anion, imidazole, and methano
