Article Abstract
A systematic relativistic coupled-cluster study is reported on the harmonic vibrational frequencies of the O(h), C(3v), and C(2v) conformers of XeF6, with scalar-relativistic effects efficiently treated using the spin-free exact two-component theory in its one-electron variant (SFX2C-1e). Atomic natural orbital type basis sets recontracted for the SFX2C-1e scheme have been shown to provide rapid basis-set convergence for the vibrational frequencies. SFX2C-1e as well as complementary pseudopotential based computations consistently predicts that both O(h) and C(3v) structures are local minima on the potential energy surface, while the C(2v) structure is a transition state. Qualitative disagreement between the present results for the O(h) structure and those from CCSD(T)-F12b calculations [Peterson et al., J. Phys. Chem. A 116, 9777 (2012)], which yielded a triply degenerate imaginary frequency for the O(h) structure, is attributed here to the high sensitivity of the computed harmonic frequencies of the t(1u) bending modes to the basis-set effects of triples contributions.

We present an implementation of relativistic double ionization potential (DIP) equation-of-motion coupled cluster (EOMCC) with up to 4-hole-2-particle (4h2p) excitations that makes use of the molecular mean-field exact two-component (mmfX2C) framework. We apply mmfX2C-DIP-EOMCC to several neutral atoms and diatomic molecules to obtain the ground and first few excited states of the corresponding dication species, and we observe excellent agreement (to within 0.001 eV) between DIPs obtained from mmfX2C- and four-component DIP-EOMCC calculations that include 3-hole-1-particle (3h1p) excitations, with either the Dirac-Coulomb or Dirac-Coulomb-Gaunt Hamiltonians.

This study introduces new series of relativistic prolapse-free Gaussian basis sets of double- and triple-ζ quality (RPF-2Z and RPF-3Z), specifically designed for all known -block elements. The polynomial version of the Generator Coordinate Dirac-Fock (p-GCDF) method is employed, along with multireference configuration interaction calculations with single and double substitutions (MR-CISD), to obtain correlation/polarization functions. Augmented versions containing additional diffuse functions for all orbital symmetries (aug-RPF-2Z and aug-RPF-3Z) are also provided.

The structures and relative stabilities of complexes of the DOTA ligand with tetravalent actinide ions An (An = Th, Pa, U, Np, Pu) in the gas phase and aqueous solution have been studied by relativistic An pseudopotentials combined with gradient-corrected density functional theory BP86 as well as Møller-Plesset second-order perturbation theory MP2 and the approximate coupled cluster singles and doubles model CC2. The complexes are found to become more stable along the actinide series, and the squared antiprismatic conformation is found to be lower in energy than the twisted squared antiprismatic one. Covalent actinide-ligand bonding contributions are analyzed and found to arise mainly for the actinide-oxygen bonds, and to a lesser extent for the actinide-nitrogen bonds.

The efficiency of the Tucker decomposition of amplitude tensors within the single-reference relativistic coupled cluster method with single and double excitations was studied in a series of benchmark calculations for (AuCl)n chains, Aun clusters, and the cluster model of solid YbCl2. The 1 kJ/mol level of accuracy for correlation energy estimates of moderate-size systems and typical reaction energies can be achieved with relatively high compression rates of amplitude tensors via rejecting singular values smaller than ∼10-4. For the most extensive system studied (the YbCl7 cluster used for modeling of the ytterbium center in the ytterbium dichloride crystal), only ∼3% of compressed double amplitudes were shown to be significant.

We present an efficient implementation of four-component linear response coupled cluster singles and doubles (4c-LRCCSD) theory that enables accurate and computationally efficient calculation of polarizabilities for systems containing heavy elements. We have observed that the frozen natural spinor (FNS)-based truncation scheme is not suitable for linear response properties, as it leads to larger errors in static and dynamic polarizability values. In this work, we have introduced a "perturbation-sensitive" density to construct the natural spinor basis, termed FNS++.
