TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the failure of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) with the CAM-B3LYP exchange-correlation (xc) functional coupled to the polarisable embedding (PE) scheme (PE-CAM-B 3LYP) in reproducing the solvatochromic shift of the lowest intense charge-transfer excitation in para-nitroaniline (pNA) in water by comparing with results obtained with the coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) model also coupled to polarizable embedding
Abstract: We investigate the failure of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) with the CAM-B3LYP exchange-correlation (xc) functional coupled to the polarisable embedding (PE) scheme (PE-CAM-B3LYP) in reproducing the solvatochromic shift of the lowest intense charge-transfer excitation in para-nitroaniline (pNA) in water by comparing with results obtained with the coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) model also coupled to the polarisable embedding scheme (PE-CCSD). We determine the amount of charge separation in the ground and excited charge-transfer state with both methods by calculating the electric dipole moments in the gas phase and for 100 solvent configurations. We find that CAM-B3LYP overestimates the amount of charge separation inherent in the ground state and TDDFT/CAM-B3LYP drastically underestimates this amount in the excited charge-transfer state. As the errors in the solvatochromatic shift are found to be inverse proportional to the change in dipole moment upon excitation, we conclude ...

TL;DR: Within the spin-unrestricted density functional theory (DFT) the long-range correction (LC) scheme combined with the Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr exchange-correlation functional has been applied to the calculation of the second hyperpolarizability of open-shell singlet diradical systems of increasing complexity and has demonstrated good performance.
Abstract: Within the spin-unrestricted density functional theory (DFT) the long-range correction (LC) scheme combined with the Becke-Lee-Yang-Parr exchange-correlation functional, referred to as LC-UBLYP method, has been applied to the calculation of the second hyperpolarizability (gamma) of open-shell singlet diradical systems of increasing complexity and has demonstrated good performance: (i) for the simplest H(2) dissociation model, the gamma values calculated by the LC-UBLYP method significantly overshoot the full configuration interaction result but reproduce qualitatively the evolution of gamma as a function of the diradical character, (ii) for small singlet diradical 1,3-dipole systems, the diradical character dependence of gamma determined by the UCCSD and UCCSD(T) reference methods is reproduced semiquantitatively by the LC-UBLYP method except in the small diradical character region, where the spin-unrestricted solutions coincide with spin-restricted solutions, (iii) the LC-UBLYP method also closely reproduces the UCCSD(T) results on the diradical character dependence of gamma of the p-quinodimethane model system, particularly in the intermediate and large diradical character regions, whereas it shows an abrupt change for a diradical character (y) close to 0.2 originating from the triplet instability, (iv) the reliability of LC-UBLYP to reproduce reference coupled cluster results on open-shell singlet systems with intermediate and large diradical characters has also been substantiated in the case of gamma of 1,4-bis-(imidazol-2-ylidene)-cyclohexa-2,5-diene (BI2Y), then (v), for real systems built from a pair of phenalenyl radicals separated by a conjugated linker, the LC-UBLYP results have been found to closely match the UBHandHLYP values-which, for small systems are in good agreement with those obtained using correlated molecular orbital methods-whereas the UB3LYP results can be much different. These results are not only important from the viewpoint of an efficient determination of the nonlinear optical properties of open-shell singlet systems, but also from the viewpoint of defining new challenges for elaborating improved exchange-correlation functionals.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extended the local coupled cluster approach of Pulay and Saebo, which has seen great success in the computation of ground-state energies, to molecular response properties such as dipole polarizabilities, using an atom-based coupled-perturbed Hartree-Fock breakdown of the desired property to expand the usual ground state orbital domains.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used ab initio calibration calculations combined with extrapolations towards the infinite-basis limit lead to ground-state dissociation energy of Be_2, D_e=944 \pm 25 1/cm, substantially higher than the accepted experimental value, and confirming recent theoretical findings.
Abstract: Extensive ab initio calibration calculations combined with extrapolations towards the infinite-basis limit lead to a ground-state dissociation energy of Be_2, D_e=944 \pm 25 1/cm, substantially higher than the accepted experimental value, and confirming recent theoretical findings. Our best computed spectroscopic observables (expt. values in parameters) are G(1)-G(0)=223.7 (223.8), G(2)-G(1)=173.8 (169 \pm 3), G(3)-G(2)=125.4 (122 \pm 3), and B_0=0.6086 (0.609) 1/cm; revised spectroscopic constants are proposed. Multireference calculations based on a full valence CAS(4/8) reference suffer from an unbalanced description of angular correlation; for the utmost accuracy, a CAS(4/16) reference including the $(3s,3p)$ orbitals is required, while for less accurate work a CAS(4/4) reference is recommended. The quality of computed coupled cluster results depends crucially on the description of connected triple excitations; the CC5SD(T) method yields unusually good results because of an error compensation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the lowest 1Sigma(+) and 3Pi states of the BN molecule were studied using multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) and averaged coupled-pair functional (ACPF) methods and large atomic natural orbital (ANO) basis sets, as well as several coupled cluster methods.
Abstract: The lowest 1Sigma(+) and 3Pi states of the BN molecule are studied using multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) and averaged coupled-pair functional (ACPF) methods and large atomic natural orbital (ANO) basis sets, as well as several coupled cluster methods. Our calculations strongly support a 3Pi ground state, but the a1Sigma(+) state lies only 381 +/- 100/cm higher. The a1Sigma(+) state wave function exhibits strong multireference character and, consequently, the predictions of the perturbationally-based single-reference CCSD(T) coupled cluster method are not as reliable in this case as the multireference results. The theoretical predictions for the spectroscopic constants of BN are in good agreement with experiment for the Chi3Pi state, but strongly suggest a misassignment of the fundamental vibrational frequency for the a1Sigma(+) state.
