Intermediate Hamiltonian Fock-space multireference coupled-cluster method with full triples for calculation of excitation energies

Abstract

The intermediate Hamiltonian multireference coupled-cluster (CC) method with singles, doubles, and triples within the excited (1,1) sector of Fock space (FS) is implemented and formulated to calculate excitation energies (EEs). Due to the intermediate Hamiltonian formulation, which provides a robust computational scheme for solving the FS-CC equations, coupled to an efficient factorization strategy, relatively large basis sets and model spaces are employed permitting basis set converged comparisons of the calculated vertical EEs, which can be compared to the experimental data for the N(2) and CO molecules. The issue of charge-transfer separability is also addressed.
