Abstract
Quantum chemical calculations have been carried out to elucidate the electronic structure as well as to draw structure-property relationships for a series of ferrocenyl hetaryl ketones by means of simulated NMR, IR and UV-vis spectra. In this series, the list of hetaryl groups included furan-2-yl, thiophen-2-yl, selenophen-2-yl, 1H-pyrrol-2-yl and N-methylpyrrol-2-yl. Density functional theory was employed to determine the ground-state properties of the five ketones while their excited-state properties were modeled using a broad range of theoretical methods, namely from time-dependent density functional theory to multiconfigurational and multireference ab initio approaches. The patterns in the 13C and 17O chemical shifts of the carbonyl group were explained by the geometrical twist of hetaryl rings and by the electronic parameters corresponding to π-bonds conjugation and group hardness. Furthermore, the corresponding 13C and 17O shielding constants were analyzed in terms of both their dia/paramagnetic and Lewis/non-Lewis contributions within the framework of natural chemical shielding theory. The pattern in the vibrational frequency of the carbonyl bond was connected with changes in its bond length and bond order. It was established that the electronic absorption spectra of the studied ketones are largely characterized by low-intensity d → π* transitions in the visible region and the dominant high-intensity π → π* transition in the UV region. Finally, the theoretical methods best suited for modeling the excited-state properties of such ketones were designated.

Abstract
In this work, we develop a new semiempirical method, dubbed NOTCH (Natural Orbital Tied Constructed Hamiltonian). Compared to existing semiempirical methods, NOTCH is less empirical in its functional form as well as parameterization. Specifically, in NOTCH, (1) the core electrons are treated explicitly; (2) the nuclear-nuclear repulsion term is calculated analytically, without any empirical parameterization; (3) the contraction coefficients of the atomic orbital (AO) basis depend on the coordinates of the neighboring atoms, which allows the size of AOs to depend on the molecular environment, despite the fact that a minimal basis set is used; (4) the one-center integrals of free atoms are derived from scalar relativistic multireference equation-of-motion coupled cluster calculations instead of empirical fitting, drastically reducing the number of necessary empirical parameters; (5) the (AA|AB) and (AB|AB)-type two-center integrals are explicitly included, going beyond the neglect of differential diatomic overlap approximation; and (6) the integrals depend on the atomic charges, effectively mimicking the "breathing" of AOs when the atomic charge varies. For this preliminary report, the model has been parameterized for the elements H-Ne, giving only 8 empirical global parameters. Preliminary results on the ionization potentials, electron affinities, and excitation energies of atoms and diatomic molecules, as well as the equilibrium geometries, vibrational frequencies dipole moments, and bond dissociation energies of diatomic molecules, show that the accuracy of NOTCH rivals or exceeds those of popular semiempirical methods (including PM3, PM7, OM2, OM3, GFN-xTB, and GFN2-xTB) as well as the cost-effective ab initio method Hartree-Fock-3c.

Abstract
The accurate ab initio prediction of ionization energies is essential to understanding the electrochemistry of transition metal complexes in both materials science and biological applications. However, such predictions have been complicated by the scarcity of gas phase experimental data, the relatively large size of the relevant molecules, and the presence of strong electron correlation effects. In this work, we apply all-electron phaseless auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (ph-AFQMC) utilizing multideterminant trial wave functions to six metallocene complexes to compare the computed adiabatic and vertical ionization energies with experimental results. We find that ph-AFQMC yields mean absolute errors (MAEs) of 1.69 ± 1.02 kcal/mol for the adiabatic energies and 2.85 ± 1.13 kcal/mol for the vertical energies. We also carry out density functional theory (DFT) calculations using a variety of functionals, which yields MAEs of 3.62-6.98 kcal/mol and 3.31-9.88 kcal/mol, as well as one variant of localized coupled cluster calculations (DLPNO-CCSD(T0) with moderate PNO cutoffs), which has MAEs of 4.96 and 6.08 kcal/mol, respectively. We also test the reliability of DLPNO-CCSD(T0) and DFT on acetylacetonate (acac) complexes for adiabatic energies measured in the same manner experimentally, and we find higher MAEs, ranging from 4.56 to 10.99 kcal/mol (with a different ordering) for DFT and 6.97 kcal/mol for DLPNO-CCSD(T0). Finally, by utilizing experimental solvation energies, we show that accurate reduction potentials in solution for the metallocene series can be obtained from the AFQMC gas phase results.

Abstract
We report a spin-free formulation of the multireference (MR) driven similarity renormalization group (DSRG) based on the ensemble normal ordering of Mukherjee and Kutzelnigg [J. Chem. Phys. 107, 432 (1997)]. This ensemble averages over all microstates of a given total spin quantum number, and therefore, it is invariant with respect to SU(2) transformations. As such, all equations may be reformulated in terms of spin-free quantities and they closely resemble those of spin-adapted closed-shell coupled cluster (CC) theory. The current implementation is used to assess the accuracy of various truncated MR-DSRG methods (perturbation theory up to third order and iterative methods with single and double excitations) in computing the constants of 33 first-row diatomic molecules. The accuracy trends for these first-row diatomics are consistent with our previous benchmark on a small subset of closed-shell diatomic molecules. We then present the first MR-DSRG application on transition-metal complexes by computing the spin splittings of the [Fe(H2O)6]2+ and [Fe(NH3)6]2+ molecules. A focal point analysis (FPA) shows that third-order perturbative corrections are essential to achieve reasonably converged energetics. The FPA based on the linearized MR-DSRG theory with one- and two-body operators and up to a quintuple-ζ basis set predicts the spin splittings of [Fe(H2O)6]2+ and [Fe(NH3)6]2+ to be -35.7 and -17.1 kcal mol-1, respectively, showing good agreement with the results of local CC theory with singles, doubles, and perturbative triples.

Abstract
It is well known that ultraviolet photoexcitation of iron pentacarbonyl results in rapid loss of carbonyl ligands leading to the formation of coordinatively unsaturated iron carbonyl compounds. We employ ultrafast mid-infrared transient absorption spectroscopy to probe the photodissociation dynamics of gas-phase iron pentacarbonyl following ultraviolet excitation at 265 and 199 nm. After photoexcitation at 265 nm, our results show evidence for sequential dissociation of iron pentacarbonyl to form iron tricarbonyl via a short-lived iron tetracarbonyl intermediate. Photodissociation at 199 nm results in the prompt production of Fe(CO)3 within 0.25 ps via several energetically accessible pathways. An additional 15 ps time constant extracted from the data is tentatively assigned to intersystem crossing to the triplet manifold of iron tricarbonyl or iron dicarbonyl. Mechanisms for formation of iron tetracarbonyl, iron tricarbonyl, and iron dicarbonyl are proposed and theoretically validated with one-dimensional cuts through the potential energy surface as well as bond dissociation energies. Ground state calculations are computed at the CCSD(T) level of theory and excited states are computed with EOM-EE-CCSD(dT).

Abstract
The molecular level understanding of electronic transport properties depends on the reliable theoretical description of charge-transfer (CT)-type electronic states. In this paper, the performance of spin-component-scaled variants of the popular CC2 and ADC(2) methods is evaluated for CT states, following benchmark strategies of earlier studies that revealed a compromised accuracy of the unmodified models. In addition to statistics on the accuracy of vertical excitation energies at equilibrium and infinite separation of bimolecular complexes, potential energy surfaces of the ammonia-fluorine complex are also reported. The results show the capability of spin-component-scaled approaches to reduce the large errors of their regular counterparts to a significant extent, outperforming even the coupled-cluster single and double method in many cases. The cost-effective scaled-opposite-spin variants are found to provide a remarkably good agreement with the CCSDT-3 reference data, thereby being recommended methods of choice in the study of charge-transfer states.

Abstract
![]()
The
numerous existing publications on benchmarking quantum chemistry
methods for excited states rarely include Charge Transfer (CT) states,
although many interesting phenomena in, e.g., biochemistry and material
physics involve the transfer of electrons between fragments of the
system. Therefore, it is timely to test the accuracy of quantum chemical
methods for CT states, as well. In this study we first propose a new
benchmark set consisting of dimers having low-energy CT states. On
this set, the vertical excitation energy has been calculated with
Coupled Cluster methods including triple excitations (CC3, CCSDT-3,
CCSD(T)(a)*), as well as with methods including full or approximate
doubles (CCSD, STEOM-CCSD, CC2, ADC(2), EOM-CCSD(2)). The results
show that the popular CC2 and ADC(2) methods are much less accurate
for CT states than for valence states. On the other hand, EOM-CCSD
seems to have similar systematic overestimation of the excitation
energies for both types of states. Among the triples methods the novel
EOM-CCSD(T)(a)* method including noniterative triple excitations is
found to stand out with its consistently good performance for all
types of states, delivering essentially EOM-CCSDT quality results.

Abstract
The first nonperturbative version of the multireference driven similarity renormalization group (MR-DSRG) theory [C. Li and F. A. Evangelista, J. Chem. Theory Comput. 11, 2097 (2015)] is introduced. The renormalization group structure of the MR-DSRG equations ensures numerical robustness and avoidance of the intruder-state problem, while the connected nature of the amplitude and energy equations guarantees size consistency and extensivity. We approximate the MR-DSRG equations by keeping only one- and two-body operators and using a linearized recursive commutator approximation of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff expansion [T. Yanai and G. K.-L. Chan, J. Chem. Phys. 124, 194106 (2006)]. The resulting linearized MR-DSRG scheme with one- and two-body operators [MR-LDSRG(2)] contains only 39 terms and scales as O(N(2)NP (2)NH (2)) where NH, NP, and N correspond to the number of hole, particle, and total orbitals, respectively. Benchmark MR-LDSRG(2) computations on the hydrogen fluoride and molecular nitrogen binding curves and the singlet-triplet splitting of p-benzyne yield results comparable in accuracy to those from multireference configuration interaction, Mukherjee multireference coupled cluster theory, and internally contracted multireference coupled cluster theory.
