Summary The valence bond (VB) corrected single reference (SR) coupled cluster (CC) method [J. Paldus and J. Planelles, Theor. Chim. Acta 89, 13–31 (1994)] with Singly and Doubly excited cluster components (CCSD-VB) is applied to simple Parise-Parr-Pople (PPP) model systems that are capable of simulating chemical bond breaking or formation. Dissociation into both closed and open shell type subsystems is considered. The 3- and 4-body connected cluster components are first determined by cluster analyzing simple PPP-VB wave functions [X. Li and J. Paldus, J. Mol. Structure (Theochem) 229, 249 (1991)] involving only covalent-type structures, and are subsequently employed in the CCSD-VB approach. The results are compared with the full configuration interaction (FCI) or full valence bond (FVB) solutions, representing the exact result for these models, and the potential of the CCSD-VB approach is discussed.
