Abstract

Conventional correlation methods suffer from the slow convergence of electron correlation energies with respect to the size of orbital expansions. This problem is due to the fact that orbital products alone cannot describe the behavior of the exact wave function at short inter-electronic distances. Explicitly correlated methods overcome this basis set problem by including the inter-electronic distances (rij) explicitly in wave function expansions. Here, the origin of the basis set problem of conventional wave function methods is reviewed, and a short history of explicitly correlated methods is presented. The F12 methods are the focus herein, as they are the most practical explicitly correlated methods to date. Moreover, some of the key developments in modern F12 technology, which have significantly improved the efficiency and accuracy of these methods, are also reviewed
