On a simple way to calculate electronic resonances for polyatomic molecules
We propose a simple method for calculation of low-lying shape electronic resonances of polyatomic molecules. The method introduces a perturbation potential and requires only routine bound-state type calculations in the real domain of energies. Such a calculation is accessible by most of the free or commercial quantum chemistry software. The presented method is based on the analytical continuation in a coupling constant model, but unlike its previous variants, we experience a very stable and robust behavior for higher-order extrapolation functions. Moreover, the present approach is independent of the correlation treatment used in quantum many-electron computations and therefore we are able to apply Coupled Clusters (CCSD-T) level of the correlation model. We demonstrate these properties on determination of the resonance position and width of the {sup 2}Π{sub u} temporary negative ion state of diacetylene using CCSD-T level of theory.
