Abstract
Spin–orbit coupling constants between singlet and triplet states are evaluated as residues of multiconfiguration linear response functions. In this approach, the spin–orbit coupling constants are automatically determined between orthogonal and noninteracting states. Sample calculations are presented for the X 3Σ−g–b 1Σ+g transition in O2 and the 1A1–3B1 transition in CH2. The convergence of the coupling constants is examined as a function of basis set and level of correlation. An exotic behavior is observed in the correlation of the 1A1 state for CH2 when increasing the active space, demonstrating an intricate coupling between the dynamic and static correlation. In general, the results indicate that reliable spin–orbit coupling constants between valence states may be obtained with a 4s3p2d1f basis set for first row atoms and a modest active orbital space.
