As in MP2 case, the accuracy of CIS(D) calculations can be improved by semi-empirically scaling the opposite-spin components of CIS(D) expression:
ESOS-CIS(D)=cU⟨ΨCIS|V|UOS2ΨHF⟩+cT⟨ΨCIS|V|TOS2U1ΨHF⟩ | (7.71) |
with the corresponding ground state energy
ESOS-MP2=cT⟨ΨHF|V|TOS2ΨHF⟩ | (7.72) |
More importantly, this SOS-CIS(D) energy can be evaluated with the 4th power of
the molecular size by adopting Laplace transform technique.

Accordingly, SOS-CIS(D) can be applied to the calculations of excitation
energies for relatively large molecules.
