Brueckner doubles coupled cluster method with the polarizable continuum model of solvation.

چکیده
We present the theory and implementation for computing the (free) energy and its analytical gradients with the Brueckner doubles (BD) coupled cluster method in solution, in combination with the polarizable continuum model of solvation (PCM). The complete model, called PTED, and an efficient approximation, called PTE, are introduced and tested with numerical examples. Implementation details are also discussed. A comparison with the coupled-cluster singles and doubles CCSD-PCM-PTED and CCSD-PCM-PTE schemes, which use Hartree-Fock (HF) orbitals, is presented. The results show that the two PTED approaches are mostly equivalent, while BD-PCM-PTE is shown to be superior to the corresponding CCSD scheme when the HF reference wave function is unstable. The BD-PCM-PTE scheme, whose computational cost is equivalent to gas phase BD, is therefore a promising approach to study molecular systems with complicated electronic structure in solution.

Energies and analytic gradients for a coupled-cluster doubles model using variational Brueckner orbitals: Application to symmetry breaking
We describe an alternative procedure for obtaining approximate Brueckner orbitals in ab initio electronic structure theory. Whereas approximate Brueckner orbitals have traditionally been obtained by mixing the orbitals until the coefficients of singly substituted determinants in the many-electron wave function become zero, we remove singly substituted determinants at the outset and obtain orbit...

This work reports the first implementation of the frequency dependent linear response (LR) function for the coupled cluster singles and doubles method (CCSD) combined with the polarizable continuum model of solvation for the calculation of frequency dependent properties in solution. In particular, values of static and dynamic polarizability as well as specific rotation are presented for various...
متن کاملA comparison between state-specific and linear-response formalisms for the calculation of vertical electronic transition energy in solution with the CCSD-PCM method.
The calculation of vertical electronic transition energies of molecular systems in solution with accurate quantum mechanical methods requires the use of approximate and yet reliable models to describe the effect of the solvent on the electronic structure of the solute. The polarizable continuum model (PCM) of solvation represents a computationally efficient way to describe this effect, especial...

An efficient version of the polarizable continuum model for solvation has been implemented in the Gaussian density-functional-based code called deMon. Solvation free energies of representative compounds have been calculated as a preliminary test. The hydration effects on the reaction profile of the Clyq CH Cl a ClCH q Cly reaction and the thermodynamics of the 3 3 Menschutkin reaction have also...
