Ab initio multi-reference perturbation theory calculations of the ground and low-lying electronic states of the KRb molecule
2016
The potential energy curves of the low-lying electronic states correlating up to the limit K(4p) + Rb(5s) of KRb molecule have been calculated using the multi-reference perturbation theory method at the CASSCF/ XMCQDPT2 level of theory without and with spin–orbit coupling. The calculated parameters of the ground X 1 R + state are in the best agreement among all previously performed ab initio calculations for the KRb molecule. The calculated vibrational intervals of the ground electronic term of the 39 K 85 Rb molecule describe the experiment with the accuracy within ±1 cm ?1 . The calculated intensities of the 2 1 R + (v 0 = 3, J 0 = 26) ? X 1 R + (v 00 = 0...24, J 00 = 25, 27) transitions …
Coupled-Cluster study of ‘no-pair’ bonding in the tetrahedral Cu4 cluster
2011
Abstract Ab initio Coupled-Cluster calculations with single and double excitations and perturbative correction to the triple, CCSD(T), have been carried out for the high-spin electronic state, ( 5 A 2 ) , of the copper cluster Cu 4 in its tetrahedral arrangement. Like alkali metals clusters, tetrahedral Cu 4 presents a bound quintet state, i.e., a situation where all the valence electrons are unpaired. This rather exotic wavefunction, also known as no-pair bonding state, is examined in detail. The influence of the basis set is also analyzed, as well as the importance of the core correlation and the effect of the basis-set superposition errors.
Theoretical investigation of the potential energy surface of the van der Waals complex CH4-N-2
2009
International audience; The interaction potential energy surface of the van der Waals CH4-N-2 complex has been calculated for a broad range of intermolecular separations and configurations in the approximation of rigid interacting molecules at the CCSD(T) and MP2 levels of theory using the correlation consistent aug-cc-pVTZ basis set. The BSSE correction was taken into account for all the calculations. The most stable configurations of the complex were found. Binding energies were calculated in the CBS limit with accounting for the molecular deformations. The harmonic and anharmonic fundamental vibrational frequencies and rotational constants for the ground and first excited vibrational sta…
Communication: multireference equation of motion coupled cluster: a transform and diagonalize approach to electronic structure.
2014
The novel multireference equation-of-motion coupled-cluster (MREOM-CC) approaches provide versatile and accurate access to a large number of electronic states. The methods proceed by a sequence of many-body similarity transformations and a subsequent diagonalization of the transformed Hamiltonian over a compact subspace. The transformed Hamiltonian is a connected entity and preserves spin- and spatial symmetry properties of the original Hamiltonian, but is no longer Hermitean. The final diagonalization spaces are defined in terms of a complete active space (CAS) and limited excitations (1h, 1p, 2h, …) out of the CAS. The methods are invariant to rotations of orbitals within their respective…
Spin-orbit ZORA and four-component Dirac-Coulomb estimation of relativistic corrections to isotropic nuclear shieldings and chemical shifts of noble …
2015
Hartree-Fock and density functional theory with the hybrid B3LYP and general gradient KT2 exchange-correlation functionals were used for nonrelativistic and relativistic nuclear magnetic shielding calculations of helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon dimers and free atoms. Relativistic corrections were calculated with the scalar and spin-orbit zeroth-order regular approximation Hamiltonian in combination with the large Slater-type basis set QZ4P as well as with the four-component Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonian using Dyall's acv4z basis sets. The relativistic corrections to the nuclear magnetic shieldings and chemical shifts are combined with nonrelativistic coupled cluster singles and doubles …
High excitations in coupled-cluster series: vibrational energy levels of ammonia
2004
The ammonia molecule containing large amplitude inversion motion is a revealing system in examining high-order correlation effects on potential energy surfaces. Correlation contributions to the equilibrium and saddle point geometries, inversion barrier height and vibrational energy levels, including inversion splittings, have been investigated. A six-dimensional Taylor-type series expansion of the Born–Oppenheimer potential energy surface, which is scaled to different levels of theory, is used to determine vibrational energy levels and inversion splittings variationally. The electronic energies are calculated by coupled-cluster methods, combining explicitly correlated R12 theory (which incl…
Calculation of electronic g-tensors using coupled cluster theory.
2009
A scheme for the calculation of the electronic g-tensor at the coupled cluster (CC) level is presented. The reported implementation employs an effective one-electron spin-orbit operator, allows the inclusion of arbitrary excitations in the cluster operator, and offers various options concerning the treatment of orbital relaxation and choice of reference determinants. In addition, the use of gauge-including atomic orbitals (GIAOs) is possible to overcome the gauge origin problem. Benchmark calculations for the NH ((3)Sigma(-)) radical reveal the importance of electron correlation effects for the accurate prediction of the g-shift as well as the slow basis set convergence of such calculations…
Bond Dissociation Energies for Diatomic Molecules Containing 3d Transition Metals: Benchmark Scalar-Relativistic Coupled-Cluster Calculations for 20 …
2017
Benchmark scalar-relativistic coupled-cluster calculations for dissociation energies of the 20 diatomic molecules containing 3d transition metals in the 3dMLBE20 database ( J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2015 , 11 , 2036 ) are reported. Electron correlation and basis set effects are systematically studied. The agreement between theory and experiment is in general satisfactory. For a subset of 16 molecules, the standard deviation between computational and experimental values is 9 kJ/mol with the maximum deviation being 15 kJ/mol. The discrepancies between theory and experiment remain substantial (more than 20 kJ/mol) for VH, CrH, CoH, and FeH. To explore the source of the latter discrepancies, the …
Steering the excited state dynamics of a photoactive yellow protein chromophore analogue with external electric fields
2014
Abstract The first excited state of the Photoactive Yellow Protein chromophore exhibits a strong charge transfer character and the dipole moments of the excited and ground states differ significantly. Furthermore, the excited state charge distribution changes during the isomerization of this chromophore. These observations suggest that external electric fields can be used to control photo-isomerization, providing a new concept for developing photochromic devices, such as e-paper or optical memory. To test this idea, we performed excited state dynamics simulations and static calculations of a PYP chromophore analogue (pCK − ) in an external electric field. By adjusting direction and strength…
Approximate treatment of higher excitations in coupled-cluster theory. II. Extension to general single-determinant reference functions and improved a…
2008
The theory and implementation of approximate coupled-cluster (CC), in particular approximate CC singles, doubles, triples, and quadruples methods, are discussed for general single-determinant reference functions. While the extension of iterative approximate models to the non-Hartree-Fock case is straightforward, the generalization of perturbative approaches is not trivial. In contrast to the corresponding perturbative triples methods, there are additional terms required for non-Hartree-Fock reference functions, and there are several possibilities to derive approximations to these terms. As it turns out impossible to develop an approach that is consistent with the canonical Hartree-Fock-base…
