Abstract

Properly spin-adapted coupled-cluster theory for general open-shell configurations remains an active area of research in electronic structure theory. In this contribution we examine Lindgren's normal-ordered exponential ansatz to correlate specific spin states using spin-free excitation operators, with the aid of automatic equation generation software. We present an intermediately normalised and size-extensive reformulation of the unlinked working equations, and analyse the performance of the method with single and double excitations for simple molecular systems in terms of accuracy and size-consistency.
