The size consistency of multi-reference Moller–Plesset perturbation theory as a function of the structure of the zeroth-order Hamiltonian is studied. In calculations it is shown that the choice of projection operators to define the zeroth-order Hamiltonian is crucial. In essence whenever such a projection operator can be written as the sum of projection operators onto particular subspaces, cross-product terms may appear in the zeroth-order Hamiltonian that spoil the size consistency. This problem may be solved using a separate projection operator for each subspace spanning an excitation level. In principle a zeroth-order Hamiltonian based on these projection operators results in a size consistent perturbation theory. However, it was found that some non-local spin recoupling effects remain. A new zeroth-order Hamiltonian formulated recently circumvents this problem and is shown to be exactly size consistent. Apart from the choice of projection operators, the orthogonalization of the excited states is cruci...
