Abstract: The block correlated coupled cluster(BCCC) method, with the complete active space self-consistent-field(CASSCF) reference function(CAS-BCCC in short), were applied to investigate the potential energy surfaces(PESs) for single bond breaking in hydrocarbons(methane and ethane). A comparison of our results with other theoretical estimates shows that the present approach can provide quantitative descriptions for the whole dissociation curve.

Key words: Multireference(MR), Block correlated coupled cluster(BCCC) method, Bond breaking, Potential energy surface(PES)
