The implementation and evaluation of a multilayer extension of the divide-expand-consolidate (DEC) scheme within the LSDalton program is presented. The DEC scheme is a linear-scaling, fragmentation-based local coupled-cluster (CC) method that provides a means of overcoming the scaling wall associated with canonical CC electronic structure calculations on large molecular systems. Taking advantage of the local nature of correlation effects, the correlation energy for the full molecule is calculated from a set of independent fragments using localized molecular orbitals. However, when only a small subsystem of a larger system is of interest, for example, adsorption sites or catalytically active sites, the majority of the computational time may be spent evaluating the correlation energy of fragments which have little effect on the properties in the area of interest (AOI). The multilayer DEC (ML-DEC) scheme addresses this by taking advantage of the independent nature of the fragments in order to evaluate the correlation energy of various regions of the system at different levels of theory. Regions far from the AOI are evaluated at lower (cheaper) levels of theory such as Hartree–Fock (HF) or Møller–Plesset second-order perturbation theory (MP2), while the area immediately surrounding the AOI is treated with a higher level CC model. Through the ML-DEC scheme, the computational cost of CC calculations on these types of systems can be significantly reduced while maintaining the accuracy of higher-level calculations. Results from HF/RI-MP2 and RI-MP2/CCSD ML-DEC calculations of the binding energy of a fatty acid dimer are presented. We find that the ML-DEC scheme is capable of reproducing DEC energy differences at a target level of theory, provided that the region treated at the target level of theory is chosen to be sufficiently large. Time-to-solution is found to be significantly reduced, particularly in the RI-MP2/CCSD calculations. Finally, the ML-DEC scheme is applied to the calculation of CO2 adsorption in a Mg-MOF-74 channel.
