Abstract
Using the same basis sets and geometries as were previously used in "benchmark" full configuration interaction (FCI) calculations we compare the multiconfigurational spin tensor electron propagator method (MCSTEP) with FCI for the vertical ionization potentials (IPs) in CH2 below 19.0 eV. Our results show that MCSTEP using a full valence complete active space MCSCF initial state accurately obtains the lowest several principal vertical ionization potentials. We also determine vertical and adiabatic IPs in CH 2 with MCSTEP using larger bases and compare to accurate large scale multireference singles and doubles CI with quadruple excitations estimated via a Davidson correction.
