Abstract

Explicit formulas over orbitals are given for the correlation energy in triplet electronic states of atoms and molecules. The formulas were obtained by means of the diagrammatic many-body Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory through third order assuming a single determinant restricted Roothaan-Hartree-Fock wave function. A numerical example is presented for the NH molecule.
