Energies for the CAS(12,7)* calculations were determined using the CASSCF(6,4) optimized orbitals (see the end of Section VI A).
The SDTQ values without parentheses were obtained using the CEEIS extrapolation for the CISDTQ increments. The values in parentheses for CAS(2,2)* were obtained by exact CISDTQ calculations.
