An overview of the current possibilities of ORCA is provided and its efficiency is documents.
Abstract
ORCA is a general-purpose quantum chemistry program package that features virtually all modern electronic structure methods (density functional theory, many-body perturbation and coupled cluster theories, and multireference and semiempirical methods). It is designed with the aim of generality, extendibility, efficiency, and user friendliness. Its main field of application is larger molecules, transition metal complexes, and their spectroscopic properties. ORCA uses standard Gaussian basis functions and is fully parallelized. The article provides an overview of its current possibilities and documents its efficiency. © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Natural triple excitations in local coupled cluster calculations with pair natural orbitals

TL;DR: The extension of the previously developed domain based local pair-natural orbital (DLPNO) based singles- and doubles coupled cluster ( DLPNO-CCSD) method to perturbatively include connected triple excitations is reported and the first CCSD(T) level calculation on an entire protein, Crambin with 644 atoms, and more than 6400 basis functions is demonstrated.

Efficient, approximate and parallel Hartree–Fock and hybrid DFT calculations. A ‘chain-of-spheres’ algorithm for the Hartree–Fock exchange

TL;DR: In this article, the chain-of-spheres exchange (COSX) algorithm was proposed to speed up Hartree-Fock and hybrid density functional calculations by forming the Coulomb and exchange parts of the Fock matrix by different approximations.

Efficient and accurate approximations to the molecular spin-orbit coupling operator and their use in molecular g-tensor calculations.

TL;DR: Approximations to the Breit-Pauli form of the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) operator are examined and small absolute errors are obtained for the one-center approximation to the exchange term which is consequently the method of choice [SOMF(1X)] for large molecules.

Calculation of solvent shifts on electronic g-tensors with the conductor-like screening model (COSMO) and its self-consistent generalization to real solvents (direct COSMO-RS).

TL;DR: The self-consistent D-COSMO-RS incorporates some specific solvation effects into continuum models, in particular it appears to successfully model the effects of hydrogen bonding, opening a novel approach for the calculation of properties which so far only could be calculated by the inclusion of explicit solvent molecules in continuum solvation methods.

Prediction and interpretation of the 57Fe isomer shift in Mössbauer spectra by density functional theory

TL;DR: In this article, a linear correlation between non-relativistically calculated theoretical electron densities and experimentally measured ISs is established, and the calibration of two popular density functionals (B3LYP and BP86) for the prediction of isomer shifts (IS) in 57Fe Mossbauer (MB) spectra is reported.

Efficient and accurate local approximations to coupled-electron pair approaches: An attempt to revive the pair natural orbital method

TL;DR: An efficient production level implementation of the closed shell CEPA and CPF methods is reported that can be applied to medium sized molecules and has essentially the same accuracy as parent CEPA (CPF) methods for thermochemistry, kinetics, weak interactions, and potential energy surfaces but is up to 500 times faster.
