What Does SOCI Stand For?

SOCI stands for Second Order Configuration Interaction

SOCI, or Second Order Configuration Interaction, is a computational chemistry method used to improve the accuracy of electronic structure calculations. It considers the contribution of correlated wave functions by including second-order perturbative effects from excited states, enhancing the description of molecular interactions and properties. SOCI is particularly valuable in systems where electron correlation plays a significant role, making it a useful tool in quantum chemistry for predicting molecular behavior and reactivity.
