R Recent addition to electronic structure theory R Includes dominant higher-order terms as products of lower order terms R Rapid convergence if wavefunction is dominated by well localized electron pairs, e.g., CCSD is exact if electron pairs are completely separate R Convergence problems if HF wavefunction provides a very poor zeroorder description of molecule
