TLDR
Specific developments discussed include fast methods for density functional theory calculations, linear scaling evaluation of energies, NMR chemical shifts and electric properties, fast auxiliary basis function methods for correlated energies and gradients, equation-of-motion coupled cluster methods for ground and excited states, geminal wavefunctions, embedding methods and techniques for exploring potential energy surfaces.
Abstract
Advances in theory and algorithms for electronic structure calculations must be incorporated into program packages to enable them to become routinely used by the broader chemical community. This work reviews advances made over the past five years or so that constitute the major improvements contained in a new release of the Q-Chem quantum chemistry package, together with illustrative timings and applications. Specific developments discussed include fast methods for density functional theory calculations, linear scaling evaluation of energies, NMR chemical shifts and electric properties, fast auxiliary basis function methods for correlated energies and gradients, equation-of-motion coupled cluster methods for ground and excited states, geminal wavefunctions, embedding methods and techniques for exploring potential energy surfaces.

Long-range corrected hybrid density functionals with damped atom–atom dispersion corrections

TL;DR: The re-optimization of a recently proposed long-range corrected hybrid density functional, omegaB97X-D, to include empirical atom-atom dispersion corrections yields satisfactory accuracy for thermochemistry, kinetics, and non-covalent interactions.

An experimental chemist's guide to ab initio quantum chemistry

TL;DR: A review of the state-of-the-art in quantum chemistry can be found in this article, where Hartree-Fock (HF), configuration interaction (CI), multiconfigurational self-consistent field (MCSCF), Maller-Plesset perturbation theory (MPPT), coupled-cluster (CC), and density functional methods such as X, are introduced.

Geminal model chemistry II. Perturbative corrections

TL;DR: Application of this model to various chemical systems reveals that strongly orthogonal geminals are well suited for chemical models, with dispersion interactions between the geminals being the dominant effect missing in the reference wave functions.

Bonding Patterns in Benzene Triradicals from Structural, Spectroscopic, and Thermochemical Perspectives

TL;DR: In all three isomers of tridehydrobenzenes, the unpaired electrons form partial bonds between the radical centers, and the strength of these bonds varies from a rather weak (but stabilizing) interaction of about 0.5 kcal/mol up to 32 kcal/mol, which is one-third of a typical chemical bond energy.

Curvy-steps approach to constraint-free extended-Lagrangian ab initio molecular dynamics, using atom-centered basis functions: convergence toward Born-Oppenheimer trajectories.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that vibrational frequencies may depend on the value of the fictitious mass parameter, even in an atom-centered basis, and light-atom stretching frequencies can be significantly redshifted, even when the nuclear and electronic energy scales are well separated.
