Koopmans’s theorem in the restricted open-shell Hartree–Fock method. II. The second canonical set for orbitals and orbital energies
2010
A treatment of the validity of Koopmans’s theorem (KT) in the restricted open-shell Hartree–Fock (ROHF) method can be separated into two essentially different cases. The first of them involves the one-electron processes X→Xj± in which the spin state of an ion Xj± having a hole or an extra electron in the closed, open or virtual orbital ϕj is correctly described by a one-determinant wave function. This case was analyzed using different methods by Plakhutin et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 125, 204110 (2006)] and by Plakhutin and Davidson [J. Phys. Chem. A 113, 12386 (2009)]. In the present work we analyze more complex processes where the state of an ion cannot be described by a single determinant. An example of such processes is the removal of an alpha electron from the closed shell of a high-spin half-filled open-shell system X. For this case we give a slightly generalized formulation of KT in both the “frozen” orbital approximation (i.e., within the canonical ROHF method) and the limited configuration interaction ...
