Abstract:
Equation-of-motion coupled-cluster theory with single and double excitations (EOM-CCSD) provides a robust framework for describing a wide range of electronically excited and open-shell states. Among its various formulations, the double electron-attachment (EOM-DEA-CCSD) and double ionization potential (EOM-DIP-CCSD) methods are particularly effective for treating diradicals and other types of open-shell species. To enable accurate geometry optimizations and property calculations, we present the derivation and implementation of analytic nuclear gradients for EOM-DEA-CCSD and EOM-DIP-CCSD. These new capabilities were illustrated by calculations of singlet-triplet gaps in benzyne diradicals as well as characterization of molecules relevant to quantum information science. We further extended the framework to include spin-orbit coupling calculations for EOM-DEA-CCSD states, allowing calculations of intensity borrowing and intersystem crossings.

Conjugated systems containing an even number of π-electron pairs undergo a conrotatory ring closure. For example, thermal electrocyclization of (2E,4E)-2,4-hexadiene, a conjugated diene containing two π-electron pairs, gives trans-3,4-dimethylcyclobutene.
