Abstract:
We explore the possible route to approximate natural orbital occupation numbers-based diagnostic of differential multireference character of noncovalent energy differences by techniques based on many-body expansion. It turns out that two-body fragmentation of monomers may lead to a reasonable approximation of such a diagnostic in hydrogen-bonded complexes. The results are useful, for example, for assessment of the expected bias cancellation in energy differences of larger systems obtained by single-reference methods.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
