Internally Contracted Multireference Coupled Cluster Calculations with a Spin-Free Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonian: Application to the Monoxides of Titanium, Zirconium, and Hafnium
We combine internally contracted multireference coupled cluster theory with a four-component treatment of scalar-relativistic effects based on the spin-free Dirac–Coulomb Hamiltonian. This strategy allows for a rigorous treatment of static and dynamic correlation as well as scalar-relativistic effects, which makes it viable to describe molecules containing heavy transition elements. The use of a spin-free formalism limits the impact of the four-component treatment on the computational cost to the non-rate-determining steps of the calculations. We apply the newly developed method to the lowest singlet and triplet states of the monoxides of titanium, zirconium, and hafnium and show how the in…
The rotational spectrum of 17O2 up to the THz region
Abstract The investigation of the pure rotational spectrum of the 17O2 isotopic species of molecular oxygen has been extended with respect to previous investigations to the submillimeter-wave region, from 230 GHz up to 1.06 THz. The resulting spectroscopic parameters, which have an accuracy comparable to that of the constants obtained from an updated isotopic invariant fit involving data for three electronic states and six isotopologues [Yu et al. High resolution spectral analysis of oxygen. IV. Energy levels, partition sums, bandconstants, RKR potentials, Franck–Condon factors involving the X 3 Σ g − , a 1 Δ g , and b 1 Σ g + states.

Laboratory measurements and astronomical search for the HSO radical
[Context] Despite the fact that many sulfur-bearing molecules, ranging from simple diatomic species up to astronomical complex molecules, have been detected in the interstellar medium, the sulfur chemistry in space is largely unknown and a depletion in the abundance of S-containing species has been observed in the cold, dense interstellar medium. The chemical form of the missing sulfur has yet to be identified.
Analytic evaluation of first-order properties within the mean-field variant of spin-free exact two-component theory.
We present a scheme for the calculation of energies and analytic energy gradients within spin-free exact two-component (SFX2C) theory in its mean-field variant, which we refer to as SFX2C-mf. In the presented scheme, the Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation is carried out after the spin-free four-component Hartree-Fock treatment such that in electron-correlated calculations only the non-mean-field part of the two-electron interactions is handled in an untransformed manner. The formulation of analytic gradients requires some adjustments in comparison with the nonrelativistic case, i.e., the additional solution of the spin-free Dirac Coulomb coupled-perturbed Hartee-Fock equations together with a …
