Abstract
A reformulation of the combined density functional theory and multireference configuration interaction method (DFT/MRCI) is presented. Expressions for ab initio matrix elements are used to derive correction terms for a new effective Hamiltonian. On the example of diatomic carbon, the correction terms are derived, focusing on the doubly excited 1Δg state, which was problematic in previous formulations of the method, as were double excitations in general. The derivation shows that a splitting of the parameters for intra- and interorbital interactions is necessary for a concise description of the underlying physics. Results for 1La and 1Lb states in polyacenes and 1Au and 1Ag states in mini-β-carotenoids suggest that the presented formulation is superior to former effective Hamiltonians. Furthermore, statistical analysis reveals that all the benefits of the previous DFT/MRCI Hamiltonians are retained. Consequently, the here presented formulation should be considered as the new standard for DFT/MRCI calculations.

Abstract
Transition metal compounds are very versatile, and their characteristics can differ profoundly depending on their electronic structure. Compounds in which a spin transition from a low-spin to a high-spin state can be achieved through means of an optical excitation are particularly intriguing, as a controlled spin-flip opens promising avenues in areas such as sensing, information technology, molecular switches and energy technology. The fundamental mechanisms in spin crossover and spin transitions remain unanswered, due to the complexity of electronic structure and interplay of relativistic effects. Presented here is a new approach that allows the first direct study of spin flip dynamics through a mapping of spin-mixed to spin-pure states. The method is applied to FeCO and addresses the spin-flip dynamics during a spin transition. Wave packets that combine different spin states are generated through optical excitation and relevant mechanisms in optically triggered spin transitions are discussed.
