This paper presents the coupled cluster/molecular mechanics (CC/MM) and self-consistent field/molecular mechanics (SCF/MM) approaches for wavefunctions, energies and response properties. Two physically different theories are derived, the mean-field and the direct-field interaction approaches, together with expressions for the optimization condition of both variational and non-variational wavefunctions and energies. Also derived are the linear response functions at the CC/MM and SCF/MM levels of theory, and the expressions are compared with the vacuum response functions.
