Localized correlation treatment using natural bond orbitals
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present studies using natural bond orbitals (NBOs) as a starting point for a localized electron correlation treatment, as these kind of localized orbitals lead to CCSD results which show significant transferability and exponential decay patterns in the T̂2 amplitudes. The NBO CCSD approach combines the advantages of both the HF CCSD formulation (less amplitudes, orthogonal orbitals) and the AO-based CCSD strategy (fast decay of amplitudes and

On the use of Abelian point group symmetry in density-fitted local MP2 using various types of virtual orbitals.
Electron correlation methods based on symmetry-adapted canonical Hartree-Fock orbitals can be speeded up significantly in the well known group theoretical manner, using the fact that integrals vanish unless the integrand is totally symmetric. In contrast to this, local electron correlation methods cannot benefit from such simplifications, since the localized molecular orbitals (LMOs) generally ...
متن کاملLocal correlation in the virtual space in multireference singles and doubles configuration interaction
We describe a multireference configuration interaction method that takes advantage of local correlation methods in both the internal ~originally occupied! and external ~originally unoccupied or virtual! orbital spaces. In the internal space, implementation of local correlation is trivial and involves neglecting configurations having simultaneous excitations out of widely separated orbitals. In ...
متن کاملAccurate and systematically improvable density functional theory embedding for correlated wavefunctions.
We analyze the sources of error in quantum embedding calculations in which an active subsystem is treated using wavefunction methods, and the remainder using density functional theory. We show that the embedding potential felt by the electrons in the active subsystem makes only a small contribution to the error of the method, whereas the error in the nonadditive exchange-correlation energy domi...
متن کاملNatural Bond Orbital (NBO) Population Analysis of Iridabenzene (C5H5Ir)(PH3)3
The molecular structure of iridabenzene (C5 H5 Ir)(PH3 )3 was calculated by the B3LYP density functional model using LANL2DZ basis set for Ir and 6-31G(d) for other atoms. The results from natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis have provided new insights into Ir–ligand bonding, the hybridization of atoms and the electronic structure of the title molecule. The NBO calculations show that σ(Ir-C2) bo...
متن کاملOn the Relationship. Between Localized Molecular Orbitals and Kekule Structures*
Localized molecular orbitals for n-systems of conjugated polycyclic hydrocarbons have been calculated using both intrinsic and external localization criteria relying only on molecular topology. For benzenoid aromatic compounds the intrinsic localized molecular orbital arrangement can always be associated to the Kekule structure of maximal Kekule index value. However hydrocarbons containing four...
