description

Abstract Using the polarized basis sets of Sadlej, we have carried out multiconfiguration linear response (MCLR) calculations of static and dynamic polarizabilities of water, carbon dioxide, formamide and urea. It is found that the polarized basis sets give a good description of the polarizabilities. The uncorrelates (self-consistent field) polarizabilities are in general 10% or more lower than the experimental values. The correlation as introduced in the complete-active-space (CAS) and restricted-active-space (RAS) MCLR calculations recovers the major part of this deviation.
