Rigorously extensive orbital-invariant renormalized perturbative triples corrections from quasi-variational coupled cluster theory

We show that, by making use of the linked tensor objects inherent to the approach, Orbital-optimised Quasi-Variational Coupled Cluster Theory (OQVCCD) leads naturally to a computationally-trivial, rigorously extensive, and orbital-invariant renormalization of the standard (T) correction for the perturbative inclusion of the effects of connected triple excitations. The resulting prototype method, renormalized perturbative triple OQVCCD (R-OQVCCD(T)), is demonstrated to predict potential energy curves for single bond-breaking processes of significantly higher accuracy than OQVCCD with the standard perturbative triple-excitation correction (OQVCCD(T)) itself, and to be in good numerical correspondence with the existing renormalized (R-CCSD(T)) and completely renormalized (CR-CCSD(T)) coupled-cluster singles doubles triples methods, while continuing to provide descriptions of multiple bond-breaking processes of OQVCCD(T) quality
