Alternative CNDOL Fockians for fast and accurate description of molecular exciton properties.

CNDOL is an a priori, approximate Fockian for molecular wave functions. In this study, we employ several modes of singly excited configuration interaction (CIS) to model molecular excitation properties by using four combinations of the one electron operator terms. Those options are compared to the experimental and theoretical data for a carefully selected set of molecules.

Combining Molecular Quantum Mechanical Modeling and Machine Learning for Accelerated Reaction Screening and Discovery.

Molecular quantum mechanical modeling, accelerated by machine learning, has opened the door to high-throughput screening campaigns of complex properties, such as the activation energies of chemical reactions and absorption/emission spectra of materials and molecules; in silico. Here, we present an overview of the main principles, concepts, and design considerations involved in such hybrid computational quantum chemistry/machine learning screening workflows, with a special emphasis on some recent examples of their successful application. We end with a brief outlook of further advances that will benefit the field.
