“…For the CH 3 NO molecule in the S 0 state [4], appropriate accuracy was achieved when MP2/6-311ϩϩG**, CASSCF(8-6)/cc-pVDZ, and MR-CI/ CAS(6-4)/cc-pVDZ techniques are employed, where the notation (8-6) defines the complete active space: 8 electrons distributed over 6 molecular orbitals (MOs) { NO , NO , n ϩ , n Ϫ , * NO , * NO } (according to [3,4] we use the symbols n ϩ and n Ϫ for the orbitals resulting from the n N and n O mixing); MR-CI/CAS(6-4), multireference CI calculation using the canonical MOs of the CASSCF(6-4) approach where the active space consists of 6 electrons distributed over 4 MOs { NO , n ϩ , n Ϫ , * NO }. However, the best agreement with the experiment was achieved when both the most sophisticated correlation technique and the saturated basis set were employed, namely, MR-AQCC/CAS(6-4)/ccpVTZ.…”
