Abstract
The electronic excitations of conformationally constrained bithiophene cage systems as previously investigated by Lewis et al. (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 143, 18548 (2021)) are revisited, employing the correlated ab initio Scaled Opposite-Spin Algebraic Diagrammatic Construction Second Order electronic structure method. Quantitative descriptors are determined to assess the extent of charge transfer between the bithiophene moieties and the capping domains, represented by either phenyl or triazine groups. The investigation substantiates intrinsic differences in the photophysical behavior of these two structural variants and reveals the presence of lower-energy excited states characterized by noteworthy charge transfer contributions in the triazine cage system. The manifestation of this charge transfer character is discernible even at the Franck-Condon geometry, persisting throughout the relaxation of the excited state. By examining isolated monomer building blocks, we confirm the existence of analogous charge transfer contributions in their excitations. Employing this methodological approach facilitates the prospective identification of potential wall/cap chromophore pairs, wherein charge transfer pathways can be accessed within the energetically favorable regime.

Abstract
We present a reduced-cost implementation of the state-averaged driven similarity renormalization group (SA-DSRG) based on the frozen natural orbital (FNO) approach. The natural orbitals (NOs) are obtained by diagonalizing the one-body reduced density matrix from SA-DSRG second-order perturbation theory (SA-DSRG-PT2). We consider three criteria to truncate the virtual NOs for the subsequent electron correlation treatment beyond SA-DSRG-PT2. An additive second-order correction is applied to the SA-DSRG Hamiltonian to reintroduce correlation effects from the discarded orbitals. The FNO SA-DSRG method is benchmarked on 35 small organic molecules in the QUEST database. When keeping 98-99% of the cumulative occupation numbers, the mean absolute error in the vertical transition energies due to FNO is less than 0.01 eV. Using the same FNO threshold, we observe a speedup of 9 times compared to the conventional SA-DSRG implementation for nickel carbonyl with a quadruple-ζ basis set. The FNO approach enables nonperturbative SA-DSRG computations on chloroiron corrole [FeCl(C19H11N4)] with more than 1000 basis functions, surpassing the current limit of a conventional implementation.

Abstract
An excitonic coupling model is developed based on an equation-of-motion coupled cluster combined with the fragment molecular orbital method. The effects of polarization and excitonic coupling on the splitting of quasi-degenerate levels in systems containing multiple chromophores are elucidated on dimers of formaldehyde, water, formic acid, hydrogen fluoride, and carbon monoxide. It is shown that the level structure is mainly determined by the mutual polarization of chromophores and to a lesser extent by the excitonic coupling. The role of symmetry in excitonic coupling in dimers is discussed. The excitonic coupling between all residues in the photoactive yellow protein (PDB: 2PHY) is analyzed.

Abstract
The design of molecules requires multi-objective optimizations in high-dimensional chemical space with often conflicting target properties. To navigate this space, classical workflows rely on the domain knowledge and creativity of human experts, which can be the bottleneck in high-throughput approaches. Herein, we present an artificial molecular design workflow relying on a genetic algorithm and a deep neural network to find a new family of organic emitters with inverted singlet-triplet gaps and appreciable fluorescence rates. We combine high-throughput virtual screening and inverse design infused with domain knowledge and artificial intelligence to accelerate molecular generation significantly. This enabled us to explore more than 800 000 potential emitter molecules and find more than 10 000 candidates estimated to have inverted singlet-triplet gaps (INVEST) and appreciable fluorescence rates, many of which likely emit blue light. This class of molecules has the potential to realize a new generation of organic light-emitting diodes.

Abstract
We have developed a reduced-cost algebraic diagrammatic construction (ADC) method based on state-specific frozen natural orbital and natural auxiliary functions. The newly developed method has been benchmarked on the GW100 test set for the ionization problem. The use of state-specific natural orbitals drastically reduces the size of the virtual space with a systematically controllable accuracy and offers a significant speedup over the standard ionization potential (IP)-ADC(3) method. The accuracy of the method can be controlled by two thresholds and nearly a black box to use. The inclusion of the perturbative correction significantly improves the accuracy of the calculated IP values, and the efficiency of the method has been demonstrated by calculating the IP of a molecule with 60 atoms and more than 2216 basis functions.

Abstract
Algebraic diagrammatic construction (ADC) schemes represent a family of ab initio methods for the calculation of excited electronic states and electron-detached and -attached states. All ADC methods have been demonstrated to possess great potential for molecular applications, e.g., for the calculation of absorption or photoelectron spectra or electron attachment processes. ADC originates from Green's function or propagator theory; however, most recent ADC developments heavily rely on the intermediate state representation or effective Liouvillian formalisms, which comprise new ADC methods and computational schemes for high-order properties. The different approaches for the calculation of excitation energies, ionization potentials, and electron affinities are intimately related, and they provide a coherent description of these quantities at equivalent levels of theory and with comparable errors. Most quantum chemical program packages contain ADC methods; however, the most complete ADC suite of methods can be found in the recent release of Q-Chem.

Abstract
While Coupled-Cluster methods have been proven to provide an accurate description of excited electronic states, the scaling of the computational costs with the system size limits the degree for which these methods can be applied. In this work different aspects of fragment-based approaches are studied on noncovalently bound molecular complexes with interacting chromophores of the fragments, such as π-stacked nucleobases. The interaction of the fragments is considered at two distinct steps. First, the states localized on the fragments are described in the presence of the other fragment(s); for this we test two approaches. One method is founded on QM/MM principles, only including the electrostatic interaction between the fragments in the electronic structure calculation with Pauli repulsion and dispersion effects added separately. The other model, a Projection-based Embedding (PbE) using the Huzinaga equation, includes both electrostatic and Pauli repulsion and only needs to be augmented by dispersion interactions. In both schemes the extended Effective Fragment Potential (EFP2) method of Gordon et al. was found to provide an adequate correction for the missing terms. In the second step, the interaction of the localized chromophores is modeled for a proper description of the excitonic coupling. Here the inclusion of purely electrostatic contributions appears to be sufficient: it is found that the Coulomb part of the coupling provides accurate splitting of the energies of interacting chromophores that are separated by more than 4 Å.

Abstract
Charged excitations are electronic transitions that involve a change in the total charge of a molecule or material. Understanding the properties and reactivity of charged species requires insights from theoretical calculations that can accurately describe orbital relaxation and electron correlation effects in open-shell electronic states. In this Review, we describe the current state of algebraic diagrammatic construction (ADC) theory for simulating charged excitations and its recent developments. We start with a short overview of ADC formalism for the one-particle Green's function, including its single- and multireference formulations and extension to periodic systems. Next, we focus on the capabilities of ADC methods and discuss recent findings about their accuracy for calculating a wide range of excited-state properties. We conclude our Review by outlining possible directions for future developments of this theoretical approach.

Abstract
We present a general machine learning framework for probing the electronic state properties using the novel quantum descriptor MolOrbImage. Each pixel of the MolOrbImage records the quantum information generated by the integration of the physical operator with a pair of bra and ket molecular orbital (MO) states. Inspired by the success of deep convolutional neural networks (NNs) in computer vision, we have implemented the convolutional-layer-dominated MO-NN model. Using the orbital energy and electron repulsion integral MolOrbImages, the MO-NN model achieves promising prediction accuracies against the ADC(2)/cc-pVTZ reference for transition energies to both low-lying singlet [mean absolute error (MAE) < 0.16 eV] and triplet (MAE < 0.14 eV) states. An apparent improvement in the prediction of oscillator strength, which has been shown to be challenging previously, has been demonstrated in this study. Moreover, the transferability test indicates the remarkable extrapolation capacity of the MO-NN model to describe the out of data set systems.

Abstract
Several approximations are introduced and tested to reduce the computational expenses of the explicitly correlated coupled-cluster singles and doubles with perturbative triples [CCSD(T)] method for both closed and open-shell species. First, the well-established frozen natural orbital (FNO) technique is adapted to explicitly correlated CC approaches. Second, our natural auxiliary function (NAF) scheme is employed to reduce the size of the auxiliary basis required for the density fitting approximation regularly used in explicitly correlated calculations. Third, a new approach, termed the natural auxiliary basis (NAB) approximation, is proposed to decrease the size of the auxiliary basis needed for the expansion of the explicitly correlated geminals. The performance of the above approximations and that of the combined FNO-NAF-NAB approach are tested for atomization and reaction energies. Our results show that overall speedups of 7-, 5-, and 3-times can be achieved with double-, triple-, and quadruple-ζ basis sets, respectively, without any loss in accuracy. The new method can provide, e.g., reaction energies and barrier heights well within chemical accuracy for molecules with more than 40 atoms within a few days using a few dozen processor cores, and calculations with 50+ atoms are still feasible. These routinely affordable computations considerably extend the reach of explicitly correlated CCSD(T).

Abstract
The CC2 and ADC(2) wave function models and their spin-component scaled modifications are adopted for predicting vertical ionization potentials (VIPs) and electron affinities (VEAs). The ionic solutions are obtained as electronic excitations in the continuum orbital formalism, making possible the use of existing, widespread quantum chemistry codes with minimal modifications, in full consistency with the treatment of charge transfer excitations. The performance of different variants is evaluated via benchmark calculations on various sets from previous works, containing small- and medium-sized systems, including the nucleobases. It is shown that with the spin-scaled approximate methods, in particular the scaled opposite-spin variant of the ADC(2) method, the accuracy of EOM-CCSD is achievable at a fraction of the computational cost, also outperforming many common electron propagator approaches.

Abstract
![]()
The performance of multilevel quantum chemical approaches,
which
utilize an atom-based system partitioning scheme to model various
electronic excited states, is studied. The considered techniques include
the mechanical-embedding (ME) of “our own N-layered integrated
molecular orbital and molecular mechanics” (ONIOM) method,
the point charge embedding (PCE), the electronic-embedding (EE) of
ONIOM, the frozen density-embedding (FDE), the projector-based embedding
(PbE), and our local domain-based correlation method. For the investigated
multilevel approaches, the second-order algebraic-diagrammatic construction
[ADC(2)] approach was utilized as the high-level method, which was
embedded in either Hartree–Fock or a density functional environment.
The XH-27 test set of Zech et al. [J. Chem. Theory Comput., 2018, 14, 402829906111] was used for the assessment,
where organic dyes interact with several solvent molecules. With the
selection of the chromophores as active subsystems, we conclude that
the most reliable approach is local domain-based ADC(2) [L-ADC(2)],
and the least robust schemes are ONIOM-ME and ONIOM-EE. The PbE, FDE,
and PCE techniques often approach the accuracy of the L-ADC(2) scheme,
but their precision is far behind. The results suggest that a more
conservative subsystem selection algorithm or the inclusion of subsystem
charge-transfers is required for the atom-based cost-efficient methods
to produce high-accuracy excitation energies.

Abstract
We present a method for obtaining origin-independent electronic circular dichroism (ECD) in the length-gauge representation LG(OI) without the usage of London atomic orbitals. This approach builds upon the work by Caricato [J. Chem. Phys. 153, 151101 (2020)] and is applied to rotatory strengths and ECD spectra from damped response theory. Numerical results are presented for time-dependent Hartree-Fock and density-functional theory, the second-order algebraic diagrammatic construction method, and linear-response coupled-cluster theory with singles and approximate doubles. We can support the finding that the common choice of placing the gauge origin in the center of mass of a molecule in conventional length-gauge calculations involving chiroptical properties might not be optimal and show that LG(OI) is a valuable alternative for the origin-independent calculation of ECD spectra. We show that, for a limited test set, the convergence of the rotatory strengths calculated with the LG(OI) approach toward the basis-set limit tends to be faster than for the established velocity gauge representation. Relationships between the sum-over-states expression of the optical rotation in the LG(OI) framework and its representation in terms of response functions are analyzed.

Abstract
A reliable and efficient computation of the entire single-particle spectrum of correlated molecules is an outstanding challenge in the field of quantum chemistry, with standard density functional theory approaches often giving an inadequate description of excitation energies and gaps. In this work, we expand upon a recently introduced approach that relies on a fully self-consistent many-body perturbation theory coupled to a nonperturbative truncation of the effective dynamics at each step. We show that this yields a low-scaling and accurate method across a diverse benchmark test set that is capable of treating moderate levels of strong correlation effects, and we detail an efficient implementation for applications involving up to ∼1000 orbitals on parallel resources. We then use this method to characterize the spectral properties of the antimalarial drug molecule artemisinin, resolving discrepancies in previous works concerning the active sites of the lowest-energy fundamental excitations of the system.

Abstract
We present an efficient implementation of the second- and third-order single-reference algebraic diagrammatic construction (ADC) theory for electron attachment and ionization energies and spectra [EA/IP-ADC(n), n = 2, 3]. Our new EA/IP-ADC program features spin adaptation for closed-shell systems, density fitting for efficient handling of the two-electron integral tensors, and vectorized and parallel implementation of tensor contractions. We demonstrate capabilities of our efficient implementation by applying the EA/IP-ADC(n) (n = 2, 3) methods to compute the photoelectron spectrum of the (2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-yl)oxyl (TEMPO) radical, as well as the vertical and adiabatic electron affinities of TEMPO and two DNA base pairs (guanine-cytosine and adenine-thymine). The spectra and electron affinities computed using large diffuse basis sets with up to 1028 molecular orbitals are found to be in good agreement with the best available results from the experiment and theoretical simulations.

Abstract
The accurate and systematically improvable frozen natural orbital (FNO) and natural auxiliary function (NAF) cost-reducing approaches are combined with our recent coupled-cluster singles, doubles, and perturbative triples [CCSD(T)] implementations. Both of the closed- and open-shell FNO-CCSD(T) codes benefit from OpenMP parallelism, completely or partially integral-direct density-fitting algorithms, checkpointing, and hand-optimized, memory- and operation count effective implementations exploiting all permutational symmetries. The closed-shell CCSD(T) code requires negligible disk I/O and network bandwidth, is MPI/OpenMP parallel, and exhibits outstanding peak performance utilization of 50-70% up to hundreds of cores. Conservative FNO and NAF truncation thresholds benchmarked for challenging reaction, atomization, and ionization energies of both closed- and open-shell species are shown to maintain 1 kJ/mol accuracy against canonical CCSD(T) for systems of 31-43 atoms even with large basis sets. The cost reduction of up to an order of magnitude achieved extends the reach of FNO-CCSD(T) to systems of 50-75 atoms (up to 2124 atomic orbitals) with triple- and quadruple-ζ basis sets, which is unprecedented without local approximations. Consequently, a considerably larger portion of the chemical compound space can now be covered by the practically "gold standard" quality FNO-CCSD(T) method using affordable resources and about a week of wall time. Large-scale applications are presented for organocatalytic and transition-metal reactions as well as noncovalent interactions. Possible applications for benchmarking local CCSD(T) methods, as well as for the accuracy assessment or parametrization of less complete models, for example, density functional approximations or machine learning potentials, are also outlined.

Abstract
Reduced-scaling methods are needed to make accurate and systematically improvable coupled cluster linear response methods for the calculation of molecular properties tractable for large molecules. In this paper, we examine the perturbed pair natural orbital-based PNO++ approach that creates an orbital space optimized for response properties derived from a lower-cost field-perturbed density matrix. We analyze truncation errors in correlation energies, dynamic polarizabilities, and specific rotations from a coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) reference. We find that incorporating a fixed number of orbitals from the pair natural orbital (PNO) space into the PNO++ method-a new method presented here, the "combined PNO++" approach-recovers accuracy in the CCSD correlation energy while preserving the well-behaved convergence behavior of the PNO++ method for linear response properties.

Abstract
The molecular level understanding of electronic transport properties depends on the reliable theoretical description of charge-transfer (CT)-type electronic states. In this paper, the performance of spin-component-scaled variants of the popular CC2 and ADC(2) methods is evaluated for CT states, following benchmark strategies of earlier studies that revealed a compromised accuracy of the unmodified models. In addition to statistics on the accuracy of vertical excitation energies at equilibrium and infinite separation of bimolecular complexes, potential energy surfaces of the ammonia-fluorine complex are also reported. The results show the capability of spin-component-scaled approaches to reduce the large errors of their regular counterparts to a significant extent, outperforming even the coupled-cluster single and double method in many cases. The cost-effective scaled-opposite-spin variants are found to provide a remarkably good agreement with the CCSDT-3 reference data, thereby being recommended methods of choice in the study of charge-transfer states.

Abstract
The selectivity of the photochlorination of toluene was found to decrease under intensified conditions. This was traced back to the formation of a toluene–chlorine complex, that activates the ring upon irradiation and causes ring chlorination.

Abstract
We present a self-consistent approach for computing the correlated quasiparticle spectrum of charged excitations in iterative O[N5] computational time. This is based on the auxiliary second-order Green's function approach [Backhouse, O. J. Chem. Theory Comput., 2000], in which a self-consistent effective Hamiltonian is constructed by systematically renormalizing the dynamical effects of the self-energy at second-order perturbation theory. From extensive benchmarking across the W4-11 molecular test set, we show that the iterative renormalization and truncation of the effective dynamical resolution arising from the 2h1p and 1h2p spaces can substantially improve the quality of the resulting ionization potential and electron affinity predictions compared to benchmark values. The resulting method is shown to be superior in accuracy to similarly scaling quantum chemical methods for charged excitations in EOM-CC2 and ADC(2), across this test set, while the self-consistency also removes the dependence on the underlying mean-field reference. The approach also allows for single-shot computation of the entire quasiparticle spectrum, which is applied to the benzoquinone molecule and demonstrates the reduction in the single-particle gap due to the correlated physics, and gives direct access to the localization of the Dyson orbitals.

Abstract
![]()
The
ability to accurately compute low-energy excited states of
chlorophylls is critically important for understanding the vital roles
they play in light harvesting, energy transfer, and photosynthetic
charge separation. The challenge for quantum chemical methods arises
both from the intrinsic complexity of the electronic structure problem
and, in the case of biological models, from the need to account for
protein–pigment interactions. In this work, we report electronic
structure calculations of unprecedented accuracy for the low-energy
excited states in the Q and B bands of chlorophyll a. This is achieved by using the newly developed domain-based local
pair natural orbital (DLPNO) implementation of the similarity transformed
equation of motion coupled cluster theory with single and double excitations
(STEOM-CCSD) in combination with sufficiently large and flexible basis
sets. The results of our DLPNO–STEOM-CCSD calculations are
compared with more approximate approaches. The results demonstrate
that, in contrast to time-dependent density functional theory, the
DLPNO–STEOM-CCSD method provides a balanced performance for
both absorption bands. In addition to vertical excitation energies,
we have calculated the vibronic spectrum for the Q and B bands through
a combination of DLPNO–STEOM-CCSD and ground-state density
functional theory frequency calculations. These results serve as a
basis for comparison with gas-phase experiments.

Abstract
A composite of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and the second-order algebraic-diagrammatic construction [ADC(2)] approach is presented for efficient calculation of spectral properties of molecules. Our method can be regarded as a new excited-state double-hybrid (DH) approach or a dressed TDDFT scheme, but it can also be interpreted as an empirically tuned ADC(2) model. Several combinations of exchange-correlation functionals and spin-scaling schemes are explored. Our best-performing method includes the Perdew, Burke, and Ernzerhof exchange and Perdew's 1986 correlation functional and employs the scaled-opposite-spin approximation for the higher-order terms. The computation time of the new method scales as the fourth power of the system size, and an efficient cost-reduction approach is also presented, which further speeds up the calculations. Our benchmark calculations show that the proposed model outperforms not only the existing DH approaches and ADC(2) variants but also the considerably more expensive coupled-cluster methods.

Abstract
The electronic structure and optical properties of the isomeric difluoroboron β-diketonates, 2,2-difluoro-4-methylnaphtho-[2,1-e]-1,3,2-dioxaborin (I) and 2,2-difluoro-4-methylnaphtho-[1,2-e]-1,3,2-dioxaborin (II), were studied by means of X-ray photoelectron, absorption and luminescence spectroscopies. The experimental results were interpreted using high-level ab initio quantum chemical computations, including the algebraic-diagrammatic construction method for the polarization propagator of the second and third orders (ADC(2) and ADC(3)), the outer-valence Green's function (OVGF) method, and the time-dependent density functional (TDDFT) approach. The X-ray photoelectron measurements were assigned in the entire energy range using the results of the Kohn-Sham orbital calculations which employed the B3LYP functional. Pronounced hypsochromic shift of crystal-state fluorescence was observed in I upon the lowering of temperature, which can be explained by the deterioration of the conditions for excimers formation. According to our results, remarkable feature of II, absent in I, is its phosphorescence at room temperature. Basing on our calculations, a decay mechanism for the S1 state was proposed, explaining the observed differences in the phosphorescence of I and II.
