Abstract

Establishing a hierarchy of rapidly converging, systematic approximations of exact electronic wave functions for general polyatomic molecules is the holy grail of electronic structure theory. Explicitly correlated coupled-cluster (CC-R12) methods, which have recently been developed by us up to a high rank and are reviewed in this chapter, form such a hierarchy; the CC-R12 energies converge most rapidly toward the exact solutions of the Schrödinger equations of stable molecules with respect to both the cluster excitation rank and the one-electron basis-set size. The R12 methods in this review are meant to encompass the so-called F12 methods, the term often invoked to distinguish the methods with nonlinear correlation functions (F12) from the linear one (R12).
