The performance of a numerically oriented gradient scheme for the previously introduced second-order state-specific multireference Møller-Plesset perturbation theory (SS-MRMPPT) has been tested to compute certain geometrical parameters (such as bond lengths and angles). Various examples [H2O, O3, N2H2, C2H4, C2H2F2, 1,3-butadiene (C4H6), cyclobutadiene (C4H4), and 2,6-pyridynium cation (C5NH4(+))] have been presented to validate the implementation of the SS-MRMPPT gradient approach. To illustrate the reliability of our findings, comparisons have been made with the previously reported theoretical results. The accuracy of our calculations has further been assessed by comparing with the experimental results whenever available. On the basis of the present work, we arrive at the conclusion that the SS-MRMPPT gradient scheme has substantial potential in computing the geometrical parameters for several rather diverse molecular systems, whether charged or neutral and having the closed-shell ground state or being open-shell radicals or biradicals or strongly perturbed by intruders. It is worthwhile to emphasize that the present work represents the first systematic application of the SS-MRMPPT numerical gradient approach.

We have implemented a reduced-cost partial triples correction scheme to the equation of motion coupled cluster method for core-ionization energy based on state-specific natural orbitals. The second-order Algebraic Diagrammatic Construction (ADC) method is used to generate the state-specific natural orbital, which provides quicker convergence of the core-IP value with respect to the size of the virtual space than that observed in standard MP2-based natural orbitals. The error due to truncation of the virtual orbital can be reduced by using a perturbative correction.

Chemical phenomena involving near-degenerate electronic states, such as conical intersections or avoided crossing, can be properly described using quasi-degenerate perturbation theory. This study proposed a highly scalable quasi-degenerate second-order N-electron valence state perturbation theory (QD-NEVPT2) using the local pair-natural orbital (PNO) method. Our recent study showed an efficient implementation of the PNO-based state-specific NEVPT2 method using orthonormal localized virtual molecular orbitals (LVMOs) as an intermediate local basis.

The chemical shielding tensor for a paramagnetic system has been derived from the macroscopically observed magnetization using the perturbation theory. An approach to calculate the paramagnetic chemical shifts in transition metal systems based on the spin-only magnetic susceptibility directly evaluated from the Hilbert space of the electronic Zeeman Hamiltonian has been discussed. Computationally, several advantages are associated with this approach: (a) it includes the state-specific paramagnetic Curie (first-order) and Van Vleck (second-order) contributions of the paramagnetic ion to the paramagnetic chemical shifts; (b) thus it avoids the system-specific modeling and evaluating effectively in terms of the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin Hamiltonian parameters of the magnetic moment of the paramagnetic ion formulated previously; (c) it can be utilized both in the point-dipole (PD) approximation (in the long-range) and with the quantum chemical (QC) method based the hyperfine tensors (in the short-range).

The effects of temperature and chemical environment on a pentanuclear cyanide-bridged, trigonal bipyramidal molecular paramagnet have been investigated. Using element- and oxidation state-specific near-ambient pressure X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) to probe charge transfer and second order, nonlinear vibrational spectroscopy, which is sensitive to symmetry changes based on charge (de)localization coupled with DFT, a detailed picture of environmental effects on charge-transfer-induced spin transitions is presented. The molecular cluster, CoFe(tmphen)(μ-CN)(-CN), abbrev.

Hierarchy configuration interaction (hCI) has recently been introduced as an alternative configuration interaction (CI) route combining excitation degree and seniority number and has been shown to efficiently recover both dynamic and static correlations for closed-shell molecular systems [ 2022, 13, 4342]. Here we generalize hCI for an arbitrary reference determinant, allowing calculations for radicals and excited states in a state-specific way. We gauge this route against excitation-based CI (eCI) and seniority-based CI (sCI) by evaluating how different ground-state properties of radicals converge to the full CI limit.
