[T] is the only fourth-order term using a HF reference. Raghavachari, Trucks, Head-Gordon and Pople added the fifth-order singles to get CCSD(T). This was facilitated by the Purvis Bartlett CCSD program, the only one in existence at the time, that was made available by Gary Trucks, a former Bartlett graduate student. In the next paper, we derive the most general form, which then properly counts the singles and the new, non-HF term as fourth-order subject to non-HF corrections. We also have to make a semi-canonical transformation to keep CCSD(T) non-iterative for the general case. |
