Abstract
AbstractThe Piris natural orbital functional (PNOF) based on a new approach for the two‐electron cumulant is considered for the case of high‐spin restricted open‐shell systems. The theory is applied to the calculation of molecular energies, dipole moments, vertical ionization potentials (IP), and electron affinities (EA) of 10 open‐shell molecules. Vertical values of IP and EA were used to evaluate the hardness. It was observed that the results obtained using the PNOF method are comparable to the corresponding results obtained using CCSD(T) in the case of energies and dipole moments. Best agreement between theory and experiment is achieved by PNOF for EA and hardness values. The calculated PNOF values for the mentioned properties are in good agreement with the available experimental data, considering the basis sets used (6–31 ++G**). © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
