The main purpose of this course was to give some theoretical background on the M¿ller-Plesset and coupled cluster methods. Both computational methods are available in many quantum chemical \black box" programs. The audi- ence consisted of graduate students, mostly with an undergraduate chemistry education and doing research in theoretical chemistry. A basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and quantum chemistry is pre- supposed. In particular a knowledge of Slater determinants, Slater-Condon rules and Hartree-Fock theory is a prerequisite of understanding the following notes. In Appendix A this theory is reviewed briefly. Because of time limitations hardly any proofs are given, the theory is sketchily outlined. No attempt is made to integrate out the spin, the theory is formulated in terms of spin-orbitals only.

    Effective Hamiltonians Derived from Equation-Of-Motion Coupled-Cluster

    Effective Hamiltonians derived from equation-of-motion coupled-cluster wave-functions: Theory and application to the Hubbard and Heisenberg Hamiltonians Pavel Pokhilkoa and Anna I. Krylova a Department of Chemistry, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, California 90089-0482 Effective Hamiltonians, which are commonly used for fitting experimental observ- ables, provide a coarse-grained representation of exact many-electron states obtained in quantum chemistry calculations; however, the mapping between the two is not triv- ial. In this contribution, we apply Bloch's formalism to equation-of-motion coupled- cluster (EOM-CC) wave functions to rigorously derive effective Hamiltonians in the Bloch's and des Cloizeaux's forms. We report the key equations and illustrate the theory by examples of systems with electronic states of covalent and ionic characters. We show that the Hubbard and Heisenberg Hamiltonians are extracted directly from the so-obtained effective Hamiltonians. By making quantitative connections between many-body states and simple models, the approach also facilitates the analysis of the correlated wave functions. Artifacts affecting the quality of electronic structure calculations such as spin contamination are also discussed. I. INTRODUCTION Coarse graining is commonly used in computational chemistry and physics. It is ex- ploited in a number of classic models serving as a foundation of modern solid-state physics: tight binding[1, 2], Drude{Sommerfeld's model[3{5], Hubbard's [6] and Heisenberg's[7{9] Hamiltonians. These models explain macroscopic properties of materials through effective interactions whose strengths are treated as model parameters. The values of these pa- rameters are determined either from more sophisticated theoretical models or by fitting to experimental observables.

Jung-Ho Son, C. André Ohlin and William H. Casey* A) Computational Results The two most interesting aspects of this new polyoxoanion is the inclusion of a more redox active metal and the optical activity in the visible region. For these reasons we in particular wanted to explore whether it was possible to readily and routinely predict the location of the absorbance bands of this type of compound. Also, owing to the difficulty in isolating the oxidised and reduced forms of the central polyanion dichromate species, we employed computations at the density functional theory (DFT) level to get a better idea of the potential characteristics of these forms. Structures were optimised for anti-parallel and parallel electronic spin alignments, and for both high and low spin cases where relevant. Intermediate spin configurations were 8- II III also tested for [Cr2(OH)4Nb10O30] . As expected, the high spin form of the Cr Cr complex was favoured (Table S1, below). DFT overestimates the bond lengths in general, but gives a good picture of the general distortion of the octahedral chromium unit, and in agreement with the crystal structure predicts that the shortest bond is the Cr-µ2-O bond trans from the central µ6- oxygen in the Lindqvist unit, and that the (Nb-)µ2-O-Cr-µ4-O(-Nb,Nb,Cr) angle is smaller by ca 5˚ from the ideal 180˚.

    Computer-Assisted Catalyst Development Via Automated Modelling of Conformationally Complex Molecules

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Computer‑assisted catalyst development via automated modelling of conformationally complex molecules: application to diphosphinoamine ligands Sibo Lin1*, Jenna C. Fromer2, Yagnaseni Ghosh1, Brian Hanna1, Mohamed Elanany3 & Wei Xu4 Simulation of conformationally complicated molecules requires multiple levels of theory to obtain accurate thermodynamics, requiring signifcant researcher time to implement. We automate this workfow using all open‑source code (XTBDFT) and apply it toward a practical challenge: diphosphinoamine (PNP) ligands used for ethylene tetramerization catalysis may isomerize (with deleterious efects) to iminobisphosphines (PPNs), and a computational method to evaluate PNP ligand candidates would save signifcant experimental efort. We use XTBDFT to calculate the thermodynamic stability of a wide range of conformationally complex PNP ligands against isomeriation to PPN (ΔGPPN), and establish a strong correlation between ΔGPPN and catalyst performance. Finally, we apply our method to screen novel PNP candidates, saving signifcant time by ruling out candidates with non‑trivial synthetic routes and poor expected catalytic performance. Quantum mechanical methods with high energy accuracy, such as density functional theory (DFT), can opti- mize molecular input structures to a nearby local minimum, but calculating accurate reaction thermodynamics requires fnding global minimum energy structures1,2. For simple molecules, expert intuition can identify a few minima to focus study on, but an alternative approach must be considered for more complex molecules or to eventually fulfl the dream of autonomous catalyst design 3,4: the potential energy surface must be frst surveyed with a computationally efcient method; then minima from this survey must be refned using slower, more accurate methods; fnally, for molecules possessing low-frequency vibrational modes, those modes need to be treated appropriately to obtain accurate thermodynamic energies 5–7.

  • Møller–Plesset Perturbation Theory: from Small Molecule Methods to Methods for Thousands of Atoms Dieter Cremer∗

    Møller–Plesset Perturbation Theory: from Small Molecule Methods to Methods for Thousands of Atoms Dieter Cremer∗

    Advanced Review Møller–Plesset perturbation theory: from small molecule methods to methods for thousands of atoms Dieter Cremer∗ The development of Møller–Plesset perturbation theory (MPPT) has seen four dif- ferent periods in almost 80 years. In the first 40 years (period 1), MPPT was largely ignored because the focus of quantum chemists was on variational methods. Af- ter the development of many-body perturbation theory by theoretical physicists in the 1950s and 1960s, a second 20-year long period started, during which MPn methods up to order n = 6 were developed and computer-programed. In the late 1980s and in the 1990s (period 3), shortcomings of MPPT became obvious, espe- cially the sometimes erratic or even divergent behavior of the MPn series. The physical usefulness of MPPT was questioned and it was suggested to abandon the theory. Since the 1990s (period 4), the focus of method development work has been almost exclusively on MP2. A wealth of techniques and approaches has been put forward to convert MP2 from a O(M5) computational problem into a low- order or linear-scaling task that can handle molecules with thousands of atoms. In addition, the accuracy of MP2 has been systematically improved by introducing spin scaling, dispersion corrections, orbital optimization, or explicit correlation. The coming years will see a continuously strong development in MPPT that will have an essential impact on other quantum chemical methods. C 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

(Dated: November 19, 2019) Multireference electron correlation methods describe static and dynamical electron correlation in a balanced way, and therefore, can yield accurate and predictive results even when single-reference methods or multicon- figurational self-consistent field (MCSCF) theory fails. One of their most prominent applications in quantum chemistry is the exploration of potential energy surfaces (PES). This includes the optimization of molecular ge- ometries, such as equilibrium geometries and conical intersections, and on-the-fly photodynamics simulations; both depend heavily on the ability of the method to properly explore the PES. Since such applications require the nuclear gradients and derivative couplings, the availability of analytical nuclear gradients greatly improves the utility of quantum chemical methods. This review focuses on the developments and advances made in the past two decades. To motivate the readers, we first summarize the notable applications of multireference elec- tron correlation methods to mainstream chemistry, including geometry optimizations and on-the-fly dynamics. Subsequently, we review the analytical nuclear gradient and derivative coupling theories for these methods, and the software infrastructure that allows one to make use of these quantities in applications.

    Coupled Cluster Methods in Quantum Chemistry

    Title: Coupled Cluster methods in quantum chemistry Name: Thorsten Rohwedder, Reinhold Schneider Al./Addr.: Technische UniversitatBerlin Coupled Cluster methods in quantum chemistry Short description Coupled Cluster methods applied in quantum chemistry reformulate the electronic Schrodinger equation as a nonlinear equation, enabling the computation of size- consistent high-precision approximations of the ground state solution for weakly cor- related systems. Introduction The Coupled Cluster method (CC method) is one of the most successful and frequently used approaches for the computation of atomic and molecular electronic structure, i.e. for the solution of the stationary electronic Schrodinger equation, whenever high ac- curacy is required. In contrast to Hartree-Fock type methods (HF) or methods from density functional theory (see the respective entries in this work), high accuracy meth- ods have to account in particular for the quantum-mechanical phenomenon of electronic correlation. If a preliminarily calculated reference solution { usually provided by a HF calculation { already is a good approximation to the sought ground state wave func- tion, the problem is said to be weakly correlated. CC as a post-Hartree-Fock method (also see the entry by M. Lewin) then enables an ecient, accurate and size-extensive description of solutions of the electronic Schrodingerequation. In this context, the 2 size-extensivity of the CC approach is a key aspect, re ecting the correct scaling of correlation energy with respect to the number of electrons. CC methods were initially developed for the treatment of many body quantum systems in nuclear physics in the 1950s and were used for quantum chemical calculations since the 1966 initial work by Paldus and Czek,see (Czek,1991) for a historical overview.
