description

Abstract We have calculated the molecular electric quadrupole moment (MEQM) for the set of molecules N 2 , C 2 H 2 , CO, CO 2 , CS 2 , HF, and BH. We have used SR-SDCI and (SC) 2 -SR-SDCI methods and we have compared our results with high-level theoretical ones, including FCI values for HF and BH, and with experimental values. The calculated MEQM provides a test of the effect that the energy converged (SC) 2 dressing method brings to the SDCI wavefunctions. The results suggest that the (SC) 2 -SR-SDCI method can be a cost-effective and quite accurate method for the calculation of post-SCF effects on electric quadrupole moments.
