✦ Synopsis
In the early 1960s, Nesbet proposed to develop correlation energy in terms of two-, three-, four-, etc., electron contributions. This expansion was, in principle, applicable to a large number of electrons without a size-extensivity error. The now available full-CI algorithms may be used to obtain those expansions in terms of either occupied spin᎐orbitals or, more efficiently, in terms of sets of occupied or virtual molecular orbitals. Tests on the NH molecule with a DZP basis-set problem show the slow 3 convergence of this approach.

With two KekulC and three Dewar structures, Cooper et al. were able to recover 92% of the benzene r-electron correlation energy (the difference between the SCF energy and the I75-structure minimal basis set limit) by using symmetrically "distorted" AOs. Here it is shown that by using the asymmetric
