Abstract:
We demonstrate the accuracy of ground-state energies of the transcorrelated Hamiltonian, employing sophisticated Jastrow factors obtained from variational Monte Carlo, together with the coupled cluster and distinguishable cluster methods at the level of singles and doubles excitations. Our results show that already with the cc-pVTZ basis, the transcorrelated distinguishable cluster method gets close to the complete basis limit and near full configuration interaction quality values for relative energies of over thirty atoms and molecules. To gauge the performance in different correlation regimes, we also investigate the breaking of the nitrogen molecule with transcorrelated coupled cluster methods. Numerical evidence is presented to further justify an efficient way to incorporate the major effects coming from the three-body integrals without explicitly introducing them into the amplitude equations.

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...
Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
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...
