Notes:
Test calculations have shown that correlation energies calculated using the frozen-core approximation in programs, such as the Gaussian series, that assume the lowest MOs to be the core orbitals may be significantly in error. Some valence orbitals in systems involving the heavier alkali metals and electronegative elements have lower energies than the highest core orbitals of the metal and are therefore erroneously omitted from the correlation energy calculation. Some examples are discussed.
