Abstract
Today, coupled-cluster theory offers the most accurate results among the practical ab initio electronic-structure theories applicable to moderate-sized molecules. Though it was originally proposed for problems in physics, it has seen its greatest development in chemistry, enabling an extensive range of applications to molecular structure, excited states, properties, and all kinds of spectroscopy. In this review, the essential aspects of the theory are explained and illustrated with informative numerical results.

Polar Flattening and the Strength of Halogen Bonding

TL;DR: It is shown that the value of polar flattening increases with the decreasing value of studied isodensity, and these geometrical changes induce differences in the stabilization energy up to 20%.

Properties of coupled-cluster equations originating in excitation sub-algebras

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss properties of single-reference coupled cluster (CC) equations associated with the existence of sub-algebras of excitations that allow one to represent CC equations in a hybrid fashion, where the cluster amplitudes associated with these sub-Algebra-of-excitations can be obtained by solving the corresponding eigenvalue problem.

Low-order tensor approximations for electronic wave functions: Hartree-Fock method with guaranteed precision.

TL;DR: A formulation of the Hartree-Fock method in an adaptive multiresolution basis set of spectral element type using low-order tensor approximations for operators and wave functions to reduce the steep rise of storage and computational costs with the number of degrees of freedom with finite element computations.

Quantum entanglement in carbon–carbon, carbon–phosphorus and silicon–silicon bonds

TL;DR: In this paper, the orbital entanglement analysis can be extended to polyatomic molecules to understand chemical bonding, and it has been shown that the analysis can also be applied to understand polyatomic molecular structures.

A full coupled‐cluster singles and doubles model: The inclusion of disconnected triples

TL;DR: The coupled cluster singles and doubles model (CCSD) as discussed by the authors is derived algebraically, presenting the full set of equations for a general reference function explicitly in spin-orbital form, and the computational implementation of the CCSD model, which involves cubic and quartic terms, is discussed and results are compared with full CI calculations for H2O and BeH2.
