It is shown both theoretically and numerically that the minimal multireference configuration interaction (CI) approach [Liu, W.; Hoffmann, M. R. Theor. Chem. Acc. 2014, 133, 1481] converges quickly and monotonically from above to full CI by updating the primary, external, and secondary states that describe the respective static, dynamic, and again static components of correlation iteratively, even when starting with a rather poor description of a strongly correlated system. In short, the iterative CI (iCI) is a very effective means toward highly correlated wave functions and, ultimately, full CI.
