Unlike SF-XCIS, SA-SF-CIS only includes the minimal set of electronic configurations needed to remove the spin contamination in the conventional SF-CIS method. The target SA-SF-CIS states have spin eigenvalues one less than the reference ROHF state, i.e., if singlet states (S=0) are targeted then the reference state should be a triplet (S=1), or if doublet states (S=1/2) are targeted then the reference state should be a quartet (S=3/2). The SA-SF-CIS approach uses a tensor equation-of-motion formalism, 1380 Zhang X., Herbert J. M.

such that the dimension of the CI vectors in SA-SF-CIS remains exactly the same as that in conventional SF-CIS. A DFT correction to SA-SF-CIS (i.e., SA-SF-TDDFT) can be added. 1380 Zhang X., Herbert J. M.
