@article{Engels1993, author = {Engels, Bernd}, title = {Study of influences of various excitation classes on ab initio calculated isotropic hyperfine coupling constants}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-58973}, year = {1993}, abstract = {Reliable prediction of the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant A\(_{iso}\) is still a difficult task for ab initio calculations. Strang dependence on the method employed for its ca1culation has been found. Within a CI ansatz A\(_{iso}\) is considerably affected by the excitation classes taken into account within the CI calculation. In the present work the influence of various excitation classes on A\(_{iso}\) is examined. Calculations including all single, double, triple and a large part of the quadruple excitations are performed and the individual effects of the excitation classes are studied. It is found that the surprisingly good agreement found for S-CI treatments is due to large error cancellations. The importance of higher than double excitations arises from their indirect influence on the single excitations.}, subject = {Organische Chemie}, language = {en} }
