The role of the exchange in the embedding electrostatic potential for the fragment molecular orbital method
We have examined the role of the exchange in describing the electrostatic potential in the fragment molecular orbital method and showed that it should be included in the total Fock matrix to obtain an...

Block correlated coupled cluster (BCCC) method with the complete active-space (CAS) self-consistent-field reference function (CAS-BCCC) has been applied to investigate the vertical excitation energies of low-lying valence excited states in a number of medium-sized organic molecules, including unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons (ethene, E-butadiene, cyclopropene, and cyclopentadiene), aromatic heterocycles (furan and pyrrole), and carbonyl compounds (formaldehyde, acetone, and formamide). An approximate CAS-BCCC with the cluster operator truncated up to the four-block correlation level, CAS-BCCC4, is employed in the calculations. The results are compared with those from the multireference configuration interaction with singles and doubles (MR-CISD and its corrected version, MR-CISD+Q), the complete active space with second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2), and CC3. Our results show that the overall performance of CAS-BCCC4 is competitive with that of the multistate CASPT2 (slightly inferior to MR-CISD+Q), better than that of the single-state CASPT2 and MR-CISD approaches. For triplet excited states, various methods tend to give relatively consistent predictions. However, for singlet excited states, various methods lead to quite different excitation energies in some cases. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
