Abstract
It is shown that the four-component (4C), quasi-four-component (Q4C), and exact two-component (X2C) relativistic Hartree-Fock equations can be implemented in a unified manner by making use of the atomic nature of the small components of molecular 4-spinors. A model density matrix approximation can first be invoked for the small-component charge/current density functions, which gives rise to a static, pre-molecular mean field to be combined with the one-electron term. As a result, only the nonrelativistic-like two-electron term of the 4C/Q4C/X2C Fock matrix needs to be updated during the iterations. A "one-center small-component" approximation can then be invoked in the evaluation of relativistic integrals, that is, all atom-centered small-component basis functions are regarded as extremely localized near the position of the atom to which they belong such that they have vanishing overlaps with all small- or large-component functions centered at other nuclei. Under these approximations, the 4C, Q4C, and X2C mean-field and many-electron Hamiltonians share precisely the same structure and accuracy. Beyond these is the effective quantum electrodynamics Hamiltonian that can be constructed in the same way. Such approximations lead to errors that are orders of magnitude smaller than other sources of errors (e.g., truncation errors in the one- and many-particle bases as well as uncertainties of experimental measurements) and are, hence, safe to use for whatever purposes. The quaternion forms of the 4C, Q4C, and X2C equations are also presented in the most general way, based on which the corresponding Kramers-restricted open-shell variants are formulated for "high-spin" open-shell systems.

Abstract
The importance of relativistic effects in quantum chemistry is widely recognized, not only for heavier elements but throughout the periodic table. At the same time, relativistic effects are strongest in the nuclear region, where the description of electrons through a linear combination of atomic orbitals becomes more challenging. Furthermore, the choice of basis sets for heavier elements is limited compared with lighter elements where precise basis sets are available. Thanks to the framework of multiresolution analysis, multiwavelets provide an appealing alternative to overcoming this challenge: they lead to robust error control and adaptive algorithms that automatically refine the basis set description until the desired precision is reached. This allows one to achieve a proper description of the nuclear region. In this work, we extended the multiwavelet-based code MRChem to the scalar zero-order regular approximation framework. We validated our implementation by comparing the total energies for a small set of elements and molecules. To confirm the validity of our implementation, we compared both against a radial numerical code for atoms and the plane-wave-based code EXCITING.

Abstract
Pseudopotentials (PP) are extensively used in electronic structure calculations, particularly for molecules containing heavy elements. Parameters in PPs are mainly determined from ab initio results, and errors of such PPs in density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been studied previously. However, PP errors on results with spin-orbit coupling and those in time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) calculations have not been reported previously. In this work, we investigate the error of the small-core energy-consistent Stuttgart/Koln pseudopotentials in DFT and TDDFT calculations with and without spin-orbit coupling. Ground state bond lengths, harmonic frequencies, dissociation energies, and vertical excitation energies for a series of closed-shell diatomic heavy and superheavy p-block molecules are calculated using several popular exchange-correlation functionals. PP errors are estimated by comparing with results using the all-electron Dirac-Coulomb (-Gaunt) Hamiltonian. Our results show that the difference between ground state properties and most excitation energies in scalar-relativistic calculations with the PP and those of all-electron calculations is quite small. This difference becomes somewhat larger when spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is present, especially for properties that are affected by SOC to some extent. In addition, the errors of the PPs are insensitive to the employed exchange-correlation functionals in most cases. Our results indicate that reasonable DFT and TDDFT results can be obtained using the small-core energy-consistent Stuttgart/Koln pseudopotentials for heavy and super-heavy p-block molecules.

Abstract
The self-consistent and complex spin-orbit exact two-component (X2C) formalism for NMR spin-spin coupling constants [ J. Chem. Theory Comput. 17, 2021, 3874-3994] is reduced to a scalar one-component ansatz. This way, the first-order response term can be partitioned into the Fermi-contact (FC) and spin-dipole (SD) interactions as well as the paramagnetic spin-orbit (PSO) contribution. The FC+SD terms are real and symmetric, while the PSO term is purely imaginary and antisymmetric. The relativistic one-component approach is combined with a modern density functional treatment up to local hybrid functionals including the response of the current density. Computational demands are reduced by factors of 8-24 as shown for a large tin compound consisting of 137 atoms. Limitations of the current ansatz are critically assessed for Sn, Pb, Pd, and Pt compounds, i.e. the one-component treatment is not sufficient for tin compounds featuring a few heavy halogen atoms.

Abstract
Nonresonant X-ray emission (XE) energies and oscillator strengths are obtained using the effective potential of the generalized Kohn-Sham semi-canonical projected random phase approximation (GKS-spRPA) method. XE energies are estimated as a difference between the valence and core ionization eigenvalues, while the oscillator strengths are obtained within a frozen orbital approximation. This straightforward approach provides accurate XE energies without any need for core-hole reference states, empirical shifting parameters, or tuning of density functionals. To account for relativistic corrections to the core orbitals, we have formulated a scalar relativistic (sr) GKS-spRPA approach based on the spin-free X2C one-electron Hamiltonian. The sr-GKS-spRPA method provides highly reliable XE energies using uncontracted basis-sets on atoms where the core-hole is created prior to emission. For the largest basis-sets used in our study, using completely uncontracted polarized core-valence Dunning basis-sets, the mean absolute errors (MAEs) are within 0.7 eV compared to experimental reference values for a test-set consisting of 27 valence-to-core XE energies of molecules with second- and third-period elements. Considering a balance of accuracy and computational effort, we recommend the use of s-uncontracted def2-TZVP for second-period and all-uncontracted def2-TZVP for third-period elements. For this recommended basis-set, the MAE is 0.2 eV. The analytically continued sr-GKS-spRPA approach, with an O(N4) computational cost, enables efficient computation of XE spectra of molecules such as S8 and C60 with several core-hole states.

Abstract
Molecules containing late-row elements exhibit large relativistic effects. To account for both relativistic effects and electron correlation in a computationally inexpensive way, we derived a formulation of multiconfiguration pair-density functional theory with the relativistic exact-two-component Hamiltonian (X2C-MC-PDFT). In this new method, relativistic effects are included during variational optimization of a reference wave function by exact-two-component complete active-space self-consistent-field (X2C-CASSCF) theory, followed by an energy evaluation using pair-density functional theory. Benchmark studies of excited-state and ground-state fine-structure splitting of atomic species show that X2C-MC-PDFT can significantly improve the X2C-CASSCF results by introducing additional state-specific electron correlation.

Abstract
The near-exact iCIPT2 approach for strongly correlated systems of electrons, which stems from the combination of iterative configuration interaction (iCI, an exact solver of full CI) with configuration selection for static correlation and second-order perturbation theory (PT2) for dynamic correlation, is extended to the relativistic domain. In the spirit of spin separation, relativistic effects are treated in two steps: scalar relativity is treated by the infinite-order, spin-free part of the exact two-component (X2C) relativistic Hamiltonian, whereas spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is treated by the first-order, Douglas-Kroll-Hess-like SOC operator derived from the same X2C Hamiltonian. Two possible combinations of iCIPT2 with SOC are considered, i.e., SOiCI and iCISO. The former treats SOC and electron correlation on an equal footing, whereas the latter treats SOC in the spirit of state interaction, by constructing and diagonalizing an effective spin-orbit Hamiltonian matrix in a small number of correlated scalar states. Both double group and time reversal symmetries are incorporated to simplify the computation. Pilot applications reveal that SOiCI is very accurate for the spin-orbit splitting (SOS) of heavy atoms, whereas the computationally very cheap iCISO can safely be applied to the SOS of light atoms and even of systems containing heavy atoms when SOC is largely quenched by ligand fields.

Abstract
The intermediate Hamiltonian Fock-space coupled-cluster methods at the singles and doubles level (IHFSCCSD) for excitation energies in the (1p, 1h) sector, double ionization potentials in the (0p, 2h) sector, and double electron attachments in the (2p, 0h) sector of the Fock space are implemented based on the CCSD method with spin–orbit coupling (SOC) included in the post-Hartree–Fock treatment using a closed-shell reference in this work. The active space is chosen to contain those orbitals that have the largest contribution to principal ionized or electron-attached states obtained from the equation-of-motion coupled-cluster calculations. Both time-reversal symmetry and spatial symmetry are exploited in the implementation. Our results show that the accuracy of IHFSCCSD results is closely related to the active space, and the sufficiency of the active space can be assessed from the percentage of transitions within the active space. In addition, unreasonable results may be encountered when the ionized or electron-attached states with a somewhat larger contribution from double excitations are included to determine the active space and cluster operators in the (0p, 1h) or (1p, 0h) sector of the Fock space. A larger active space may be required to describe SO splitting reliably than that in the scalar-relativistic calculations in some cases. The IHFSCCSD method with SOC developed in this work can provide reliable results for heavy-element systems when a sufficient active space built upon the principal ionization potential/electron affinity states is adopted.

Abstract
The disiloxane molecule is a prime example of silicate compounds containing the Si-O-Si bridge. The molecule is of significant interest within the field of quantum chemistry, owing to the difficulty in theoretically predicting its properties. Herein, the linearisation barrier of disiloxane is investigated using a fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo (FNDMC) approach, which is one of the most reliable ab initio methods in accounting for the electronic correlation. Calculations utilizing the density functional theory (DFT) and the coupled cluster method with single and double substitutions, including noniterative triples (CCSD(T)) are carried out alongside FNDMC for comparison. It is concluded that FNDMC successfully predicts the disiloxane linearisation barrier and does not depend on the completeness of the basis-set as much as DFT or CCSD(T), thus establishing its suitability.

Abstract
A series of methods (SDSCI, SDSPT2, iCI, iCIPT2, iCISCF(2), iVI, and iCAS) is introduced to accurately describe strongly correlated systems of electrons. Born from the (restricted) static-dynamic-static (SDS) framework for designing many-electron wave functions, SDSCI is a minimal multireference (MR) configuration interaction (CI) approach that constructs and diagonalizes a [Formula: see text] matrix for [Formula: see text] states, regardless of the numbers of orbitals and electrons to be correlated. If the full molecular Hamiltonian H in the QHQ block (which describes couplings between functions of the first-order interaction space Q) of the SDSCI CI matrix is replaced with a zeroth-order Hamiltonian [Formula: see text] before the diagonalization is taken, we obtain SDSPT2, a CI-like second-order perturbation theory (PT2). Unlike most variants of MRPT2, SDSPT2 treats single and multiple states in the same way and is particularly advantageous in the presence of near degeneracy. On the other hand, if the SDSCI procedure is repeated until convergence, we will have iterative CI (iCI), which can converge quickly from the above to the exact solutions (full CI) even when starting with a poor guess. When further combined with the selection of important configurations followed by a PT2 treatment of dynamic correlation, iCI becomes iCIPT2, which is a near-exact theory for medium-sized systems. The microiterations of iCI for relaxing the coefficients of contracted many-electron functions can be generalized to an iterative vector interaction (iVI) approach for finding exterior or interior roots of a given matrix, in which the dimension of the search subspace is fixed by either the number of target roots or the user-specified energy window. Naturally, iCIPT2 can be employed as the active space solver of the complete active space (CAS) self-consistent field, leading to iCISCF(2), which can further be combined with iCAS for automated selection of active orbitals and assurance of the same CAS for all states and all geometries. The methods are calibrated by taking the Thiel set of benchmark systems as examples. Results for the corresponding cations, a new set of benchmark systems, are also reported.

Abstract
A quasi-relativistic implementation of NMR indirect spin-spin coupling constants is presented. The exact two-component (X2C) Hamiltonian and its diagonal local approximation to the unitary decoupling transformation (DLU) are utilized together with the (modified) screened nuclear spin-orbit approach. In a restricted kinetic balance, the finite nucleus model is available for both the scalar and vector potentials. The implementation supports density functionals up to the fourth rung of Jacob's ladder, i.e., (range-separated) hybrid and local hybrid functionals based on a seminumerical ansatz. We assess the quality of our quasi-relativistic X2C approach by comparison with "fully" relativistic four-component results for small main-group molecules and alkynyl compounds. The mean absolute error introduced by the DLU scheme is less than 0.05 × 1019 T J-2 of the reduced coupling constant for the small main-group molecules and 0.5 Hz for the alkynyl compounds. Thus, the error is significantly smaller than finite nucleus size effects for heavy elements. The basis set convergence and the impact of different density functional approximations are further studied. We propose a simple scheme to develop segmented-contracted relativistic all-electron basis sets for NMR spin-spin couplings. Our implementation allows us to perform calculations of extended molecules with reasonable computational effort, which is illustrated for the 1J(119Sn, 31P) coupling constant of a low-valent tin phosphinidenide complex. The corresponding results are in good agreement with the experimental findings.

Abstract
We report implementation of the equation-of-motion coupled-cluster (EOM-CC) method for double electron-attachment (DEA) with spin-orbit coupling (SOC) at the CC singles and doubles (CCSD) level using a closed-shell reference in this work. The DEA operator employed in this work contains two-particle and three-particle one-hole excitations, and SOC is included in post-Hartree-Fock treatment. Time-reversal symmetry and spatial symmetry are exploited to reduce computational cost. The EOM-DEA-CCSD method with SOC allows us to investigate SOC effects of systems with two-unpaired electrons. According to our results on atoms, double ionization potentials (DIPs), excitation energies (EEs), and SO splittings of low-lying states are calculated reliably using the EOM-DEA-CCSD method with SOC. Its accuracy is usually higher than that of EOM-CCSD for EEs or DIPs if the same target can be reached from single excitations by choosing a proper closed-shell reference. However, performance of the EOM-DEA-CCSD method with SOC on molecules is not as good as that for atoms. Bond lengths for the ground and the several lowest excited states of GaH, InH, and TlH are underestimated pronouncedly, although reasonable EEs are obtained, and splittings of the 3Σ- state from the π2 configuration are calculated to be too small with EOM-DEA-CCSD.

Abstract
Multireference methods are usually required for transition metal systems due to the partially filled d electrons. In this work, the single-reference equation-of-motion coupled-cluster method at the singles and doubles level for double ionization potentials (EOM-DIP-CCSD) is employed to calculate energies of states from the d8 configuration of late-transition metal atoms starting from a closed-shell reference. Its results are compared with those from the multireference Fock-space coupled-cluster method at the CCSD level (FSCCSD) for DIP from the same closed-shell reference. Both scalar-relativistic effects and spin-orbit coupling are considered in these calculations. Compared with all-electron FSCCSD results with four-component Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonian, FSCCSD with relativistic effective core potentials can provide reasonable results, except for atoms with unstable reference. Excitation energies for states in the (n - 1)d8ns2 configuration are overestimated pronouncedly with these two methods, and this overestimation is more severe than those in the (n - 1)d9ns1 configuration. Error of EOM-CCSD on these excitation energies is generally larger than that of FSCCSD. On the other hand, relative energies of most of the states in the d8 configuration with respect to the lowest state in the same configuration are predicted reliably with EOM-DIP-CCSD, except for the 3P0 state of Hg2+ and states in Ir+. FSCCSD can provide reasonable relative energies for the several lowest states, while its error tends to be larger for higher states.

Abstract
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) may have a significant effect on the structure and harmonic frequencies of particularly heavy p-block element compounds. However, reports on analytical energy gradients with SOC are scarce, especially for excited states. In this work, we implemented analytical energy gradients for ionized states using the equation-of-motion coupled-cluster (CC) theory at the CC singles and doubles level (EOM-IP-CCSD) with SOC. Effects of SOC on structure and harmonic frequencies as well as properties for both the ground and some excited states of open-shell compounds with one unpaired electron can be investigated efficiently with the present implementation. A closed-shell reference is required in the calculations, and SOC is included in post-Hartree-Fock treatment. Relativistic effective core potentials are employed in dealing with both scalar relativistic effects and SOC, and we treat perturbations that are even under time reversal in this work. Both time-reversal symmetry and double point group symmetry for D2h * and its subgroups are exploited in the implementation. The method is applicable to states which can be reached by removing one electron from a closed-shell reference state. The results of some open-shell cations indicate the importance of SOC on structures and harmonic frequencies of heavy element compounds.

Abstract
In this computational study, we illustrate a method for computing phosphorescence and circularly polarized phosphorescence spectra of molecular systems, which takes into account vibronic effects including both Franck-Condon and Herzberg-Teller contributions. The singlet and triplet states involved in the phosphorescent emission are described within the harmonic approximation, and the method fully takes mode-mixing effects into account when evaluating Franck-Condon integrals. Spin-orbit couplings, which are responsible for these otherwise forbidden phenomena, are accounted for by means of a relativistic two-component time-dependent density functional theory method. The model is applied to two types of chiral systems: camphorquinone, a rigid organic system that allows for an extensive benchmark, and some members of a class of iridium complexes. The merits and shortcomings of the methods are discussed, and some perspectives for future developments are offered.
