Abstract:
The double ionization potential (DIP) equation-of-motion (EOM) coupled-cluster (CC) method with a full treatment of 4-hole-2-particle (4h-2p) correlations and triply excited clusters, abbreviated as DIP-EOMCCSDT(4h-2p), and its approximate form called DIP-EOMCCSD(T)(a)(4h-2p) have been formulated and implemented in the open-source CCpy package available on GitHub. The resulting codes work with both nonrelativistic and spin-free scalar-relativistic Hamiltonians. By examining the DIPs of a few small molecules, for which accurate reference data are available, we demonstrate that the DIP-EOMCCSDT(4h-2p) and DIP-EOMCCSD(T)(a)(4h-2p) approaches improve the results obtained using the DIP-EOMCC methods truncated at 3h-1p or 4h-2p excitations on top of the CC calculations with singles and doubles.

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,...
