TWOE Code: An Efficient Tool for Explicit Partition of Coupled Cluster and Configuration Interaction Energies into
1Butlerova Str., build. 6, Moscow, Russian Federation 117485.
Abstract:
The efficient implementation of the TWOE program for evaluating the atomic and interatomic energy components at post-HF level was developed. The systematic convergence of these terms up to a near full-CI limit was performed for the first time for a series of coupled cluster methods: CCSD → CCSDT → CCSDTQ → CCSDTQP. A comparison with corresponding CI approaches (up to fifth excitation level) is additionally discussed. For a set of diatomic systems, it was demonstrated that, along with a full molecular energy convergence, all its components are also converged but with different patterns. It was found that not all components are decreased in their values at increasing computational rank. For instance, atomic energy parts are decreased while interatomic (interaction) energies are increased as the limiting level is approached. Two schemes were employed for atomic partition of molecules: the Baders approach and planes dissection. Influence of dynamical correlation effects on atomic energy components was analyzed in detail. Current TWOE implementation allows one, in principle, to work with any ab initio method providing the two-particle density matrix. It is believed that the developed program will be a useful tool for a real space energy decomposition that helps to reveal the most peculiar points in the structure of the total and correlation energies of a molecule.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
