Abstract
A method to predict the D tensor in the molecular frame with multiconfigurational wave functions in large active space was proposed, and the spin properties of the lowest triplets of aromatic molecules were examined with full-π active space; such calculations were challenging because the size of active space grows exponentially with the number of π electrons. In this method, the exponential growth of complexity is resolved by the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm. From the D tensor, we can directly determine the direction of the magnetic axes and the ZFS parameters, D- and E-values, of the phenomenological spin Hamiltonian with their signs, which are not usually obtained in ESR experiments. The method using the DMRG-CASSCF wave function can give correct results even when the sign of D- and E-values is sensitive to the accuracy of the prediction of the D tensor and existing methods fail to predict the correct magnetic axes.
