We extend the multilevel coupled cluster framework with triplet excitation energies at the singles and perturbative doubles (MLCC2) and singles and doubles (MLCCSD) levels of theory. In multilevel coupled cluster theory, we partition the orbitals and restrict the higher-order excitations in the cluster operator to a set of active orbitals. With an appropriate choice of these orbitals, the multilevel approach can give significant computational savings while maintaining the high accuracy of standard coupled cluster theory. In this work, we generated active orbitals from approximate correlated natural transition orbitals (CNTOs). The CNTOs form a compact orbital space specifically tailored to describe the triplet excited states of interest. We compare the performance of MLCCSD and MLCC2, in terms of cost and accuracy, to those of their standard coupled cluster counterparts (CC2 and CCSD) and finally show proof-of-concept calculations of the singlet-triplet gaps of molecules that are of interest for their potential use in organic light-emitting diodes.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations have emerged as a powerful theoretical toolbox for interpreting and analyzing the experimental nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of chemical compounds. While DFT has been extensively used and benchmarked for isotropic NMR observables, the evaluation of the full chemical shielding tensor, which is necessary for interpreting residual chemical shift anisotropy (RCSA), has received much less attention, despite its recent applications in the structural elucidation of organic molecules. In this study, we present a comprehensive benchmark of carbon shielding anisotropies based on coupled cluster reference tensors taken from the NS372 benchmark data set.

The effect of open-pit bauxite mining on beach sediment contamination in the urban coastal environment of Kuantan City, Malaysia, was investigated. The contents of 11 heavy metals (Pb, Cd, Al, Mn, Cu, Zn, Fe, As, Ni, Cr, and Ag) in 30 samples from Kuantan beach sediment zones (supratidal, intertidal, and subtidal) were determined using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry followed by contamination indexes, Pearson's correlation analysis, and principal component analysis (PCA). The results indicated that Cd, As, Ni, and Ag values in beach sediment zones were significantly higher compared to background values.

() is one of the primary agents involved in porcine respiratory disease complex, and circulates in the swine industry worldwide. The prevention and control of is complicated. Thus, a recombinase-aided amplification (RAA) assay coupled with the clustered regularly-interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas12a system was established for the detection of .

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in developing a distinguished alternative to human consumption of animal-based proteins. The application of lentil proteins in the food industry is typically limited due to their poor solubility and digestibility. An innovative method of balancing lentil-whey protein (LP-WP) complexes with higher-quality protein properties was established to address this issue, which coupled a pH-shifting approach with fermentation treatment.

A hybrid B3LYP version of the Density Functional Theory was applied in full geometry optimization followed by vibrational analysis of mustard-type molecules acting as antiblood cancer agents: melphalan and bendamustine. All calculations were performed with water as a solvent. In addition to the ground-state properties (dipole moment, quadrupole moment, dipole polarizability, solvated surface and volume, zero-point vibration energy, total entropic term), properties that characterize adiabatic redox processes (ionization energy, electron affinity, molecular electronegativity, chemical hardness, electrophilicity index) together with the absolute oxidation and reduction potentials were evaluated.
