Ab initio effective one-electron potential operators: Applications for charge-transfer energy in effective fragment potentials.

The concept of effective one-electron potentials (EOPs) has proven to be extremely useful in efficient description of electronic structure of chemical systems, especially extended molecular aggregates such as interacting molecules in condensed phases. Here, a general method for EOP-based elimination of electron repulsion integrals is presented, that is tuned toward the fragment-based calculation methodologies such as the second generation of the effective fragment potentials (EFP2) method. Two general types of the EOP operator matrix elements are distinguished and treated either via the distributed multipole expansion or the extended density fitting (DF) schemes developed in this work.
