Abstract
An equation-of-motion block-correlated coupled cluster method based on the generalized valence bond wave function (EOM-GVB-BCCC) is proposed to describe low-lying excited states for strongly correlated systems. The EOM-GVB-BCCC2b method with up to two-pair correlation has been implemented and tested for a few strongly correlated systems. For a water hexamer with stretched O-H bonds, which is beyond the capability of the CASSCF method, EOM-GVB-BCCC2b provides very close results as the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). For four conjugated diradical species with triplet ground states, we found that their vertical S-T gaps from EOM-GVB-BCCC2b are also quite consistent with the DMRG results. This new method is expected to be a promising theoretical tool for describing the low-lying excited states of strongly correlated systems with large active spaces.
