As represented in the equation below, a CBS energy method is defined in several sequential stages (scf, corl, delta1, delta2, … ) covering treatment of the reference total energy, the correlation energy, a delta correction to the correlation energy, and a second delta correction, etc.. Each is activated by its stage_wfn keyword, or as a field in the `cbs_metadata` list, and is only allowed if all preceding stages are active.

\[E_{\text{total}}^{\text{CBS}} = \mathcal{F}_{\textbf{scf_scheme}} \left(E_{\text{total},\; \text{SCF}}^{\textbf{scf_basis}}\right) \; + \mathcal{F}_{\textbf{corl_scheme}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \textbf{corl_wfn}}^{\textbf{corl_basis}}\right) \; + \delta_{\textbf{delta_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta_wfn}} \; + \delta_{\textbf{delta2_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta2_wfn}} \; + \delta_{\textbf{delta3_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta3_wfn}} \; + \delta_{\textbf{delta4_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta4_wfn}} \; + \delta_{\textbf{delta5_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta5_wfn}}\]

Here, \(\mathcal{F}\) is an energy or energy extrapolation scheme, and the following also hold.

\[\delta_{\textbf{delta_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta_wfn}} \; = \mathcal{F}_{\textbf{delta_scheme}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \textbf{delta_wfn}}^{\textbf{delta_basis}}\right) - \mathcal{F}_{\textbf{delta_scheme}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \textbf{delta_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta_basis}}\right)\]
\[\delta_{\textbf{delta2_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta2_wfn}} \; = \mathcal{F}_{\textbf{delta2_scheme}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \textbf{delta2_wfn}}^{\textbf{delta2_basis}}\right) - \mathcal{F}_{\textbf{delta2_scheme}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \textbf{delta2_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta2_basis}}\right)\]
\[\delta_{\textbf{delta3_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta3_wfn}} \; = \mathcal{F}_{\textbf{delta3_scheme}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \textbf{delta3_wfn}}^{\textbf{delta3_basis}}\right) - \mathcal{F}_{\textbf{delta3_scheme}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \textbf{delta3_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta3_basis}}\right)\]
\[\delta_{\textbf{delta4_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta4_wfn}} \; = \mathcal{F}_{\textbf{delta4_scheme}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \textbf{delta4_wfn}}^{\textbf{delta4_basis}}\right) - \mathcal{F}_{\textbf{delta4_scheme}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \textbf{delta4_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta4_basis}}\right)\]
\[\delta_{\textbf{delta5_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta5_wfn}} \; = \mathcal{F}_{\textbf{delta5_scheme}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \textbf{delta5_wfn}}^{\textbf{delta5_basis}}\right) - \mathcal{F}_{\textbf{delta5_scheme}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \textbf{delta5_wfn_lesser}}^{\textbf{delta5_basis}}\right)\]

A translation of this ungainly equation to example [5] below is as follows. In words, this is a double- and triple-zeta 2-point Helgaker-extrapolated CCSD(T) coupled-cluster correlation correction appended to a triple- and quadruple-zeta 2-point Helgaker-extrapolated MP2 correlation energy appended to a SCF/aug-cc-pVQZ reference energy.

\[E_{\text{total}}^{\text{CBS}} = \mathcal{F}_{\text{highest_1}} \left(E_{\text{total},\; \text{SCF}}^{\text{aug-cc-pVQZ}}\right) \; + \mathcal{F}_{\text{corl_xtpl_helgaker_2}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \text{MP2}}^{\text{aug-cc-pV[TQ]Z}}\right) \; + \delta_{\text{MP2}}^{\text{CCSD(T)}}\]
\[\delta_{\text{MP2}}^{\text{CCSD(T)}} \; = \mathcal{F}_{\text{corl_xtpl_helgaker_2}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \text{CCSD(T)}}^{\text{aug-cc-pV[DT]Z}}\right) - \mathcal{F}_{\text{corl_xtpl_helgaker_2}} \left(E_{\text{corl},\; \text{MP2}}^{\text{aug-cc-pV[DT]Z}}\right)\]
  • Energy Methods

    The presence of a stage_wfn keyword is the indicator to incorporate (and check for stage_basis and stage_scheme keywords) and compute that stage in defining the CBS energy.

    The cbs() function requires, at a minimum, name='scf' and scf_basis keywords to be specified for reference-step only jobs and name and corl_basis keywords for correlated jobs.

Parameters

  • name (str) –

    'scf' || 'ccsd' || etc.

    First argument, usually unlabeled. Indicates the computational method for the correlation energy, unless only reference step to be performed, in which case should be 'scf'. Overruled if stage_wfn keywords supplied.

  • scf_wfn (str) –

    \(\Rightarrow\) 'scf' \(\Leftarrow\) || 'c4-scf' || etc.

    Indicates the energy method for which the reference energy is to be obtained. Generally unnecessary, as ‘scf’ is the scf in PSI4 but can be used to direct lone scf components to run in PSI4 or Cfour in a mixed-program composite method.

  • corl_wfn (str) –

    'mp2' || 'ccsd(t)' || etc.

    Indicates the energy method for which the correlation energy is to be obtained. Can also be specified with name or as the unlabeled first argument to the function.

  • delta_wfn (str) –

    'ccsd' || 'ccsd(t)' || etc.

    Indicates the (superior) energy method for which a delta correction to the correlation energy is to be obtained.

  • delta_wfn_lesser (str) –

    \(\Rightarrow\) corl_wfn \(\Leftarrow\) || 'mp2' || etc.

    Indicates the inferior energy method for which a delta correction to the correlation energy is to be obtained.

  • delta2_wfn (str) –

    'ccsd' || 'ccsd(t)' || etc.

    Indicates the (superior) energy method for which a second delta correction to the correlation energy is to be obtained.

  • delta2_wfn_lesser (str) –

    \(\Rightarrow\) delta_wfn \(\Leftarrow\) || 'ccsd(t)' || etc.

    Indicates the inferior energy method for which a second delta correction to the correlation energy is to be obtained.

    'cc-pV[TQ]Z' || 'jun-cc-pv[tq5]z' || '6-31G*' || etc.

    Indicates the sequence of basis sets employed for the correlation energy.

    Indicates the sequence of basis sets employed for the second delta correction to the correlation energy.

  • Schemes

    Transformations of the energy through basis set extrapolation for each stage of the CBS definition. A complaint is generated if number of basis sets in stage_basis does not exactly satisfy requirements of stage_scheme. An exception is the default, 'xtpl_highest_1', which uses the best basis set available. See Extrapolation Schemes for all available schemes.

Parameters

    \(\Rightarrow\) 'xtpl_highest_1' \(\Leftarrow\) || 'scf_xtpl_helgaker_3' || etc.

    Indicates the basis set extrapolation scheme to be applied to the reference energy. Defaults to scf_xtpl_helgaker_3() if three valid basis sets present in psi4.driver.driver_cbs.scf_basis, scf_xtpl_helgaker_2() if two valid basis sets present in scf_basis, and xtpl_highest_1() otherwise.

    • corl_xtpl_helgaker_2()

  • scf_alpha (float) –

    \(\Rightarrow\) 1.63 \(\Leftarrow\)

  • Combined interface

Parameters

cbs_metadata (List[Dict]) –

\(\Rightarrow\) autogenerated from above keywords \(\Leftarrow\) || [{"wfn": "hf", "basis": "cc-pv[TQ5]z"}] || etc.

This is the interface to which all of the above calls are internally translated. The first item in the array is always defining the SCF contribution to the total energy. The required items in the dictionary are:

  • `wfn`: typically `HF`, which is subsumed in correlated methods anyway.

  • `basis`: basis set, can be in a bracketed form (eg. `cc-pv[tq]z`)

Other supported arguments for the first dictionary are:

  • `scheme`: scf extrapolation scheme function, by default it is worked out from the number of basis sets (1 - 3) supplied as `basis`.

  • `alpha`: alpha for the above scheme, if the default is to be overriden

  • `options`: if special options are required for a step, they should be entered as a dict here. If some options should be used for both parts of the stage, they should be entered in both `options` and `options_lo`. This is helpful for calculating all electron corrections in otherwise frozen core calculations, or relativistic (DKH) Hamiltionian corrections for otherwise nonrelativistic.

  • `options_lo`: special options for lower method in a given stage. This is useful to calculate a direct stage in an otherwise density-fitted calculation, or similar.

  • `treatment`: treat extrapolation stage as `scf` or `corl`, by default only the first stage is `scf` and every later one is `corl`.

  • `stage`: tag for the stage used in tables.

The next items in the `cbs_metadata` array extrapolate correlation. All of the above parameters are available, with only the `wfn` and `basis` keywords required. Other supported parameters are:

  • `wfn_lo`: the lower method from which the delta correction is to be calculated. By default, it is set to `wfn` from the previous field in the `cbs_metadata` array.

  • `basis_lo`: basis set to be used for the delta correction. By default, it is the same as the `basis` specified above.

  • Others

Parameters

molecule (molecule) –

h2o || etc.

The target molecule, if not the last molecule defined.
