Equilibrium geometries of the three lowest electronic states, vertical and adiabatic states ordering, and triradical stabilization energies are reported for both triradicals. In 1,3,5tridehydrobenzene, the ground 2 A 1 state is 0.016 eV below the 2 B 2 state, whereas in 2,4,6-tridehydropyridine the heteroatom reverses adiabatic state ordering bringing 2 B 2 below 2 A 1 by 0.613 eV. The doublet-quartet gap is also larger in 2,4,6-tridehydropyridine as compared to 1,3,5-tridehydrobenzene; the respective adiabatic values are 1.223 and 0.277 eV. Moreover, the heteroatom reduces bonding interactions between the C 2 and C 6 radical centers, which results in the increased stabilizing interactions between C 4 and C 2 /C 6. Triradical stabilization energies corresponding to the separation of C 4 and C 2 are 19.7 and-0.2 kcal/mol, respectively, in contrast to 2.8 kcal/mol in 1,3,5-tridehydrobenzene. Similarly weak interactions between C 2 and C 6 are also observed in 2,6-didehydropyridine resulting in a nearly zero singlet-triplet energy gap, in contrast to m-benzyne and 2,4-didehydropyridine. The total interaction energy of the three radical centers is very similar in 1,3,5-tridehydrobenzene and 2,4,6-tridehydropyridine and is 19.5 and 20.1 kcal/mol, respectively.

Both these molecules are important in atmospheric chemistry. The near-degeneracy in low-lying states of these molecules demands for MR description of the wavefunction. We also report our study of variation in the properties of oxygen monofluoride with respect to basis set. Benchmark results, wherever available, have been duly reported for comparison.

A comprehensive library of exchange-correlation functionals, along with a suite of correlated many-body methods, continues to be a hallmark of the Q-Chem software. The many-body methods include novel variants of both coupled-cluster and configuration-interaction approaches along with methods based on the algebraic diagrammatic construction and variational reduced densitymatrix methods. Methods highlighted in Q-Chem 5 include a suite of tools for modeling core-level spectroscopy, methods for describing metastable resonances, methods for computing vibronic spectra, the nuclear-electronic orbital method, and several different energy decomposition analysis techniques. High-performance capabilities including multithreaded parallelism and support for calculations on graphics processing units are described. Q-Chem boasts a community of well over 100 active academic developers, and the continuing evolution of the software is supported by an "open teamware" model and an increasingly modular design.

The primary purpose of the library is to enable post-Hartree-Fock electronic structure methods; however, the code is general enough to be applicable in other areas of physical and computational sciences. The library supports tensors of arbitrary order (dimensionality), size, and symmetry. Implemented data structures and algorithms operate on large tensors by splitting them into smaller blocks, storing them both in core memory and in files on disk, and applying divide-and-conquer-type parallel algorithms to perform tensor algebra. The library offers a set of general tensor symmetry algorithms and a full implementation of tensor symmetries typically found in electronic structure theory: permutational, spin, and molecular point group symmetry. The Q-Chem electronic structure software uses this library to drive coupled-cluster, equation-of-motion, and algebraicdiagrammatic construction methods. V

These include developments in density functional theory methods and algorithms, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) property evaluation, coupled cluster and perturbation theories, methods for electronically excited and open-shell species, tools for treating extended environments, algorithms for walking on potential surfaces, analysis tools, energy and electron transfer modelling, parallel computing capabilities, and graphical user interfaces. In addition, a selection of example case studies that illustrate these capabilities is given. These include extensive benchmarks of the comparative accuracy of modern density functionals for bonded and non-bonded interactions, tests of attenuated second order Møller-Plesset (MP2) methods for intermolecular interactions, a variety of parallel performance benchmarks, and tests of the accuracy of implicit solvation models. Some specific chemical examples include calculations on the strongly correlated Cr 2 dimer, exploring zeolite-catalysed ethane dehydrogenation, energy decomposition analysis of a charged ter-molecular complex arising from glycerol photoionisation, and natural transition orbitals for a Frenkel exciton state in a nine-unit model of a self-assembling nanotube.

For all dyes except the unsubstituted bare dye, adiabatic singlet-triplet energy gaps (estimated through the ΔSCF procedure using the B3LYP and M062X DFT methods and SFTDDFT with the 5050 functional) were less than 1eV. Percentage calculations of the biradicaloid character suggested a moderate biradicaloid nature in all derivatives. There was a resemblance between the frontier molecular orbital (MO) picture of the TT bicyclic ring and the degenerate non-bonding molecular orbitals of Trimethyleneethane (TME, a known biradical). Inter-fragment charge transfer analysis revealed not only a considerable donation of charge to the central ring (Acceptor, TT part) but also substantial charge redistribution within the ring itself. From these results, it was inferred that NIR absorptio...

The RI and CD based EOM-MP2 shows significant speed-up and less storage requirement than the conventional canonical version and can be applied to very large systems. The new algorithm used for this implementation eliminates the most storage requiring four-index quantities resulting in the decrease of storage requirement, reduction in I/O penalties and improved parallel performance, at the expense of more floating point operations. Therefore, the speed-up compared to conventional EOM-MP2 method is more prominent in case of EA, EE and SF case where the storage bottleneck is significant than the EOM-IP-MP2 method, where the storage requirement is significantly less. However, the RI/CD based EOM-IP-MP2 can be coupled with frozen natural orbitals to gain further speed-up.

Recently we have developed multi-reference coupled cluster linear response approach based on the constrained variation method. The method is very general and can describe challenging problems due to the multiple-root nature of effective Hamiltonian. Calculation of response properties for the ionized/electron attached or excited state molecules is a challenging task. With this formulation it is possible to accurately predict the higher order molecular properties of the open shell molecules. In this article we review the response approaches for quasi degenerate cases with emphasis on Fock space multi-reference coupled cluster method.

Due to the multi-root nature of the method, the linear response of MRCC, however, is non-trivial. Constrained variation approach (CVA) makes it plausible to calculate response of the MRCC method efficiently. However, the approach is used for only one root of the problem at a time. In the present article, we make first implementation of the approach and present test results of dipole moments of small radicals.

We present a benchmark theoretical investigation on the electronic structure and singlet-triplet(... more We present a benchmark theoretical investigation on the electronic structure and singlet-triplet(S-T) gap of 1-and 2-naphthyl cations using the CCSD(T) method. Our calculations reveal that the ground states of both the naphthyl cations are singlet, contrary to the results obtained by DFT/B3LYP calculations reported in previous theoretical studies. However, the triplet states obtained in the two structural isomers of naphthyl cation are completely different. The triplet state in 1-naphthyl cation is (π ,σ) type, whereas in 2-naphthyl cation it is (σ ,σ) type. The S-T gaps in naphthyl cations and the relative stability ordering of the singlet and the triplet states are highly sensitive to the basisset quality as well as level of correlation, and demand for inclusion of perturbative triples in the coupled-cluster ansatz.

The correction, which is size intensive, is derived using a second-order Rayleigh-Schrödinger perturbative treatment and is similar to the approach of Stanton and Gauss ͓Theor. Chim. Acta 93, 303 ͑1996͔͒. In the present implementation, only the target EOM-IP states are corrected, and the reference state is described by CCSD; the method is therefore more useful for the study of the target states themselves than ionization potentials. The performance of the correction, which demonstrates the caveat above, is demonstrated by applications to singlet methylene, BNB − , nitrogen, carbon monoxide, acetylene, benzene, thymine, and adenine.

Development of linear response has been one of the challenging problems in FSMRCC due to the multiple-root nature of the effective Hamiltonian. A response from any of the roots would span the space for getting the properties. Hence, all roots perturbed by the external field would proliferate the excited states. We recently developed the FSMRCC method for the efficient evaluation of analytic response properties using a constrained variation approach. In this paper, we present analytic dipole moments and polarizabilities of H 2 O, O 3 , and CH + molecules in low-lying excited states along with brief discussion of singlet triplet decoupling of ͑1,1͒ sector of FSMRCC resulting from spin adaptation.

The correction is derived by second-order perturbation treatment of the similarity-transformed CCSD Hamiltonian. The spin-conserving variant of the correction is identical to the triples correction of Piecuch and co-workers ͓Mol. Phys. 104, 2149 ͑2006͔͒ derived within method-of-moments framework and is not size intensive. The spin-flip variant of the correction is size intensive. The performance of the correction is demonstrated by calculations of electronic excitation energies in methylene, nitrenium ion, cyclobutadiene, ortho-, meta-, and para-benzynes, 1,2,3-tridehydrobenzene, as well as CC bond breaking in ethane. In all cases except cyclobutadiene, the absolute values of the correction for energy differences were 0.1 eV or less. In cyclobutadiene, the absolute values of the correction were as large as 0.4 eV. In most cases, the correction reduced the errors against the benchmark values by about a factor of 2-3, the absolute errors being less than 0.04 eV.

These radicals can be treated as electron attached (EA) states of the corresponding closed-shell cations. Additionally, we also report analytical polarizabilities of some doublet radicals, which can be considered as ionized (IP) states of the corresponding anions. We compare our results with finite field FSMRCC response and the available benchmark results.
