Abstract:
The tensor hypercontraction (THC) formalism is applied to equation-of-motion second-order approximate coupled cluster singles and doubles (EOM-CC2). The resulting method, THC-EOM-CC2, is shown to scale as O(N4), a reduction of one order from the formal O(N5) scaling of conventional EOM-CC2. Numerical tests for a variety of molecules show that errors of less than 0.02 eV are introduced into the excitation energies.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...

The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
