Title: New generation of effective core potentials from correlated calculations: 2nd row elements

Abstract

Very recently, we have introduced correlation consistent effective core potentials (ccECPs) derived from many-body approaches with the main target being its use in explicitly correlated methods but also in mainstream approaches. The ccECPs are based on reproducing excitation energies for a subset of valence states, i.e., achieving a near-isospectrality between the original and pseudo Hamiltonians. Additionally, binding curves of dimer molecules have been used for refinement and overall improvement of transferability over a range of bond lengths. Here we apply similar ideas to the second row elements and study several aspects of the constructions in order to find the optimal (or nearly-optimal) solutions within the chosen ECP forms with 3s, 3p valence space (Ne-core). New constructions exhibit accurate low-lying atomic excitations and equilibrium molecular bonds (on average within ≈ 0.03 eV and 3 mA), however, the errors for A1 and Si oxide molecules at short bond lengths are notably larger for both ours and existing ECPs. Assuming this limitation, our ccECPs show a systematic balance between the criteria of atomic spectra accuracy and transferability for molecular bonds. Finally, in order to provide another option with much higher uniform accuracy, we also construct He-core ECPs for the whole row with typicalmore » discrepancies of ≈ 0.01 eV or smaller.« less
