We have formulated the multireference Mukherjee’s coupled clusters method with triexcitations (MR MkCCSDT) in the linked version and implemented it in the ACES II program package. The assessment of the new method has been performed on the first three electronic states of the oxygen molecule, on studies of singlet-triplet gap in methylene and twisted ethylene, where a comparison with other multireference CC treatments and with experimental data is available. The MR MkCCSDT results show accuracy comparable to which can be achieved with CCSDT in single reference cases. Comparison of the previously developed MkCCSD(T) method with MkCCSDT as a reference suggests, that MkCCSD(T) might be a promising candidate for an accurate treatment of systems where the static correlation plays an important role, at least for situations where small model spaces are sufficient.

We developed and implemented the state-specific Brillouin-Wigner coupled cluster method with singles, doubles, and noniterative perturbative triples, called MR BWCCSD(T), for a general number of closed- and open-shell reference configurations. To assess the accuracy of the method, we performed calculations of the three lowest electronic states of the oxygen molecule and of the automerization barrier of cyclobutadiene. For the oxygen molecule, the results were in a good agreement in comparison with those of the iterative MR BWCCSDTα method. For cyclobutadiene, the effect of connected triples was found to be minor, which is in agreement with the previous study by and Balková and Bartlett [J. Chem. Phys. 101, 8972 (1994)].
