TLDR
In this article, the authors reported the development of several new computational approaches within the framework of multi-reference molecular electronic structure methodology and their implementation in the COLUMBUS program system, including the calculation of the analytical MR-CI gradient for excited states based on state-averaged MCSCF orbitals, the extension of the MR-ACPF/AQCC methods to excited states in the context of linear response theory, spin-orbit CI for molecules containing heavy atoms and a massively parallel code for the computation of the one-and two-particle density metrics.
Abstract
Development of several new computational approaches within the framework of multi-reference ab initio molecular electronic structure methodology and their implementation in the COLUMBUS program system are reported. These new features are: calculation of the analytical MR-CI gradient for excited states based on state-averaged MCSCF orbitals, the extension of the MR-ACPF/AQCC methods to excited states in the framework of linear-response theory, spin–orbit CI for molecules containing heavy atoms and the development of a massively-parallel code for the computation of the one- and two-particle density matrix elements. Illustrative examples are given for each of these cases.

Energy-consistent pseudopotentials for group 11 and 12 atoms: adjustment to multi-configuration Dirac–Hartree–Fock data

TL;DR: In this article, two-component relativistic pseudopotentials (i.e., scalar-relativistic and spin-orbit (SO) potentials) of the energy-consistent variety have been adjusted for the group 11 and 12 atoms Cu, Zn, Ag, Cd, Au, Hg, replacing the 1s−2p, 1s-3d, 1 s−3d and 1s −4f cores, respectively.
