Abstract
The unlinked clusters which have appeared in SCF–CI calculations are shown to be introduced by the particular choice of normalization usually employed. If the appropriate change in the normalization is made, the contributions from unlinked clusters are eliminated. The same change in the normalization also improves the energy for a partially correlated CI wavefunction.
