Abstract:
We propose a relativistic unitary coupled-cluster expectation-value approach for computing first-order properties of heavy-element systems. Both perturbative and non-perturbative commutator-based formulations are applied to evaluate ground-state properties, including the permanent dipole moment, magnetic hyperfine structure constant, and electric field gradient. The results are compared with available experimental data and with those obtained using conventional coupled-cluster calculations. The non-perturbative commutator-based approach truncated at the singles and doubles level exhibits markedly better agreement with both the coupled-cluster Z-vector method and experimental values than the perturbative variant, likely due to its improved treatment of relaxation effects.

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 π orbitals.
