Spin-flip equation-of-motion coupled-cluster electronic structure method for a description of excited states, bond breaking, diradicals, and triradicals.
نویسنده
چکیده
The spin-flip (SF) approach to multireference situations (e.g., bond breaking, diradicals, and triradicals) is described. Both closed- and open-shell low-spin states are described within a single reference formalism as spin-flipping, e.g., alpha --> beta, excitations from a high-spin reference state for which both dynamical and nondynamical correlation effects are much smaller than for the corresponding low-spin state. Formally, the SF approach can be viewed as an equation-of-motion model, where target states are sought on the basis of determinants conserving the total number of electrons but changing the number of alpha and beta electrons.

Breaking the Curse of the Non-Dynamical Correlation Problem: The Spin-Flip Method
The spin-flip approach to multi-reference situations (e.g., bond-breaking and diradicals) is described. Both closed and open shell singlet states are described within a single reference formalism as spin-flipping, e.g., α --> β, excitations from a triplet (M s=1) reference state for which both dynamical and non-dynamical correlation effects are much smaller than for the corresponding singlet st...
متن کاملElectronic structure of the two dehydro-meta-xylylene triradicals and their derivatives
The ground and low-lying excited states of the 5-dehydro-meta-xylylene and 2-dehydro-meta-xylylene triradicals, as well as their derivatives are characterized by the equation-of-motion spin-flip coupled-cluster method with single and double substitutions. The effect of substituents in the C2, C4, and C6 positions on electronic states ordering is investigated. In the 5-dehydro-meta-xylylene trir...

We present perturbative corrections to a recently introduced spin–flip self-consistent field ~SF-SCF! wave function. The spin–flip model describes both closed and open shell singlet states within a single reference formalism as spin–flipping, e.g., a→b , excitations from a triplet (M s51) reference state for which both dynamical and nondynamical correlation effects are much smaller than for the...

While the equation-of-motion coupled-cluster (EOM-CC) method is capable of describing certain multiconfigurational wave functions within a single-reference framework (e.g., open-shell type excited states, doublet radicals, etc.), it may fail in cases of more extensive degeneracy, e.g., bond breaking and polyradicals. This work presents an extension of the EOM-CC approach to these chemically imp...
متن کاملThe effect of substituents on electronic states' ordering in meta-xylylene diradicals: qualitative insights from quantitative studies.
Equation-of-motion spin-flip coupled-cluster method with single and double substitutions (EOM-SF-CCSD) is employed to study how substituents affect the electronic states' ordering in meta-xylylene diradicals. The electronegativity of substituents and the incorporation of a heteroatom are found to have a negligible effect. The effect of charges on energy gaps is much more pronounced, in agreemen...
