The role of exchange-correlation is well known for accurate calculations of electric response properties. The exchange-correlation functional in density functional theory (DFT) has been well studied for ground state equilibrium geometry. However, the behaviour of these functional in stretched geometries, where static correlation play an important role, has not been studied systematically, particularly for response electric properties. Thus, we present here the rigorous calculation of electric response properties at distorted geometries of the molecules. We have considered dipole polarizability and dipole-quadrupole polarizability for description of role of static and dynamic correlation for electric response properties. The calculations are performed with our new approach, non-iterative approximation to coupled-perturbed Kohn-Sham method. These DFT results are compared with higher level ab initio such as coupled perturbed singles and doubles and fully correlated full CI. We have studied single, double and triple-bonded systems at different inter-nuclear separation. We report here the dipole polarizability and dipole-quadrupole polarizability of HF, BH, HCO, CO and NO. We also present the effect of basis and functional on polarizability and dipole-quadrupole polarizability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Dipole moment calculations of SF and ClO radicals have been carried out using the recently developed partial triples correction to Fock-space multi-reference coupled cluster method. Theoretical calculation of the doublet SF and ClO radicals is useful due to their importance in atmospheric chemistry. The dipole moments of these radicals are extremely sensitive to correlation effects. A brief insight to the way the triples correction has been implemented is presented. We compare the results obtained from our analytic response treatment with that of restricted open Hartree-Fock (ROHF) calculations. Results are presented for both relaxed and non-relaxed approach in the ROHF method. Results suggest the importance of triples corrections. The effects of orbital relaxation are also analysed from the results. [Figure not available: see fulltext.] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
