Theoretical absorption spectrum of the Ar–CO van der Waals complex
2003
The three-dimensional intermolecular electric dipole moment surface of Ar–CO is calculated at the coupled cluster singles and doubles level of theory with the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set extended with a 3s3p2d1f1g set of midbond functions. Using the rovibrational energies and wave functions of our recent study [J. Chem. Phys. 117, 6562 (2002)], temperature-dependent spectral intensities are evaluated and compared to available experimental data. Based on the theoretical spectrum, alternative assignments of the experimentally observed lines in the fundamental band of CO around 2160 and 2166 cm−1 are suggested. Thomas.Bondo@uv.es
Coupled cluster calculations of the vertical excitation energies of tetracyanoethylene
2003
The vertical spectrum of tetracyanoethylene was studied using coupled cluster theory. It was found that the lowest singlet-singlet transition, which corresponds to the excitation from the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) excitation, occurs at 5.16 eV in the gas phase and is lowered approximately 0.1 eV due to solvent effects in acetonitrile. A parallel study on the ethene spectrum showed the quality of the basis sets and methods used, by placing the V state 7.92 eV above the ground state and giving an energy for the 0-0 transition of 5.42 eV to be compared with the experimental value of 5.50 eV.
An orbital-invariant internally contracted multireference coupled cluster approach.
2011
We have formulated and implemented an internally contracted multireference coupled cluster (ic-MRCC) approach aimed at solving two of the problems encountered in methods based on the Jeziorski-Monkhorst ansatz: (i) the scaling of the computational and memory costs with respect to the number of references, and (ii) the lack of invariance of the energy with respect to rotations among active orbitals. The ic-MRCC approach is based on a straightforward generalization of the single-reference coupled cluster ansatz in which an exponential operator is applied to a multiconfigurational wave function. The ic-MRCC method truncated to single and double excitations (ic-MRCCSD) yields very accurate pote…
The barrier height of the F+H2 reaction revisited: coupled-cluster and multireference configuration-interaction benchmark calculations.
2008
Large scale coupled-cluster benchmark calculations have been carried out to determine the barrier height of the F+H2 reaction as accurately as possible. The best estimates for the barrier height of the linear and bent transition states amount to 2.16 and 1.63 kcal/mol, respectively. These values include corrections for core correlation, scalar-relativistic effects, spin-orbit effects, as well as the diagonal Born-Oppenheimer correction. The CCSD(T) basis-set limits are estimated using extrapolation techniques with augmented quintuple and sextuple-zeta basis sets, and remaining N-electron errors are determined using coupled-cluster singles, doubles, triples, quadruples calculations with up t…
Basis-set extrapolation techniques for the accurate calculation of molecular equilibrium geometries using coupled-cluster theory
2006
To reduce remaining basis-set errors in the determination of molecular equilibrium geometries, a basis-set extrapolation (BSE) scheme is suggested for the forces used in geometry optimizations. The proposed BSE scheme is based on separating the Hartree-Fock and electron-correlation contributions and uses expressions obtained by straightforward differentiation of well established extrapolation formulas for energies when using basis sets from Dunning's hierarchy of correlation-consistent basis sets. Comparison with reference data obtained at the R12 coupled-cluster level [CCSD(T)-R12] demonstrates that BSE significantly accelerates the convergence to the basis-set limit, thus leading to impro…
Analytic second derivatives for general coupled-cluster and configuration-interaction models.
2004
Analytic second derivatives of energy for general coupled-cluster (CC) and configuration-interaction (CI) methods have been implemented using string-based many-body algorithms. Wave functions truncated at an arbitrary excitation level are considered. The presented method is applied to the calculation of CC and CI harmonic frequencies and nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shifts up to the full CI level for some selected systems. The present benchmarks underline the importance of higher excitations in high-accuracy calculations.
Ground and excited state geometries via Mukherjee’s multireference coupled-cluster method
2012
Abstract A comprehensive study of molecular equilibrium structures is conducted to benchmark the multireference coupled-cluster (CC) method suggested by Mukherjee and coworkers (Mk-MRCC). We determine equilibrium structures and adiabatic excitation energies by applying the Mk-MRCC method within the singles and doubles (SD) approximation to ground and excited states of various small and medium-sized molecules. The results are compared to those obtained using other multireference or single-reference CC methods. For most molecules with a multireference ground state, it is found that equilibrium structures and excitation energies computed at the Mk-MRCCSD, equation-of-motion CCSD, multireferenc…
Calculation of frequency-dependent hyperpolarizabilities using general coupled-cluster models.
2007
By exploiting the similarities between response theory and analytic derivative theory, we present a scheme for calculating frequency-dependent hyperpolarizabilities at the coupled-cluster level within the framework for analytic third derivatives. This has been implemented for arbitrary levels of coupled-cluster theory up to the full-configuration-interaction limit. An investigation of some small molecules shows that the inclusion of triple excitations is essential for an accurate description of hyperpolarizabilities.
Triple excitation effects in coupled cluster calculations of Verdet constants
2000
Abstract The CC3 approach has been employed to calculate the Verdet constants of N 2 ,C 2 H 2 , and CH 4 . For N 2 and C 2 H 2 , relatively large triples contributions are found which need to be included in order to reach close agreement with the experimental constants.
A simple scheme for the direct calculation of ionization potentials with coupled-cluster theory that exploits established excitation energy methods
1999
Vertical ionization potentials can be obtained from existing computer programs for the high-level treatment of excited states by simply including a continuum orbital in the basis set. Exploiting this feature easily allows final state energies for ionized states to be calculated at several previously untested levels of theory that go beyond the equation-of-motion coupled-cluster singles and doubles model. Values obtained for N2, CO, and F2 with the most theoretically complete approximations studied here (those based on the CCSDT-3 and CC3 parametrizations of the neutral ground state) are in excellent agreement with experiment when a large basis set is used.
