The convergence of Mo/ller–Plesset perturbation expansions (MP2–MP4/MP5) for the spectroscopic constants of a selected set of diatomic molecules (BH, CH, HF, N2, CO, and F2) has been investigated. It was found that the second-order perturbation contributions to the spectroscopic constants are strongly dependent on basis set, more so for HF and CO than for BH.
