One-electron reduced density matrices (1RDMs) from equation-of-motion (EOM) coupled-cluster with single and double excitations (CCSD) calculations are analyzed to assess their N-representability (i.e., whether they are derivable from a physical N-electron state). We identify EOM-CCSD stationary states whose 1RDMs violate either ensemble-state N-representability conditions or pure-state conditions known as generalized Pauli constraints. As such, these 1RDMs do not correspond to any physical N-electron state. Unphysical states are also encountered in the course of time-dependent EOM-CC simulations; when an external field drives transitions between a pair of stationary states with pure-state N-representable 1RDMs, the 1RDM of the time-dependent state can violate ensemble-state conditions. These observations point to potential challenges in interpreting the results of time-dependent EOM-CCSD simulations.

This research elucidates the intricate nature of electronic coupling in the redox-active (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO), commonly utilized in organic radical batteries. This study employs a combination of classical molecular dynamics and various electronic coupling calculation schemes. Within the context of the generalized Mulliken-Hush method, the electronic couplings are investigated via the complete active space self-consistent field approach, in combination with n-electron valence state perturbation theory, to provide an accurate description of both static and dynamic electron correlation as well as using (time-dependent) density functional theory simulations.

The loading of graphitic carbon nitride (gCN) with transition metals has received significant attention for efficient light-driven catalysis. However, the contribution of the loaded metals to enhanced performance remains unclear. In this study, Cu is loaded onto gCN to understand how photocatalytic activity is regulated by the loaded metals.

We present a theoretical and experimental study of two tetracoordinate Co(II)-based complexes with semi-coordination interactions, , non-covalent interactions involving the central atom. We argue that such interactions enhance the thermal and structural stability of the compounds, making them appropriate for deposition on substrates, as demonstrated by their successful deposition on graphene. DC magnetometry and high-frequency electron spin resonance (HF-ESR) experiments revealed an axial magnetic anisotropy and weak intermolecular antiferromagnetic coupling in both compounds, supported by theoretical predictions from complete active space self-consistent field calculations complemented by N-electron valence state second-order perturbation theory (CASSCF-NEVPT2), and broken-symmetry density functional theory (BS-DFT).
