Abstract:
We study the charge-transfer separability (CTS) property of the Fock space (FS) and equation-of-motion (EOM) coupled cluster (CC) methods by analysing the charge-transfer (CT) excitation energy versus the donor-acceptor (D-A) distance. All FS-CC approaches fulfill the CT separability condition which is not the case for the standard EOM-CC approaches. This defect of the EOM-CC scheme can be fixed by slight modification of the H matrix's diagrammatic structure, namely by adding some "dressing" composed of disconnected terms. The latter guarantee CTS of the respective EOM-CC scheme and marginally improve local excitations. The newly proposed variant of the EOM-CCSD approach is termed EOM-CCSDx (size-extensive EOM-CCSD).

¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene π orbitals.
