Several aspects of hybrid methods resulting from combining multiconfigurational (MC) wave functions with correlation energy functionals are discussed, in particular for a family of functionals recently proposed.(1,2) It is found that adding the correlation at the end of a MC calculation instead of including it in the self-consistent procedure constitutes an excellent approximation. MC potential energy curves and spectroscopic constants show a significant improvement after being corrected with correlation energies from this family of functionals.
