Natural orbitals are often used to achieve a more compact representation of correlated wave-functions. Using natural orbitals computed as eigenstates of the virtual–virtual block of the state density matrix instead of the canonical Hartree–Fock orbitals results in smaller errors when the same fraction of virtual space is frozen. This strategy, termed frozen natural orbital (FNO) approach, is effective in reducing the cost of regular coupled-cluster (CC) calculations and some multistate methods, such as EOM-IP-CC (equation-of-motion CC for ionization potentials). This contribution extends the FNO approach to the EOM-SF-CC ansatz (EOM-CC with spin-flip). In contrast to EOM-IP-CCSD, EOM-SF-CCSD relies on high-spin open-shell references. Using FNOs computed for an open-shell reference leads to an erratic behavior of the EOM-SF-CC energies and properties due to an inconsistent truncation of the α and β orbital spaces. A general solution to problems arising in the EOM-CC calculations utilizing open-shell references, termed OSFNO (open-shell FNO), is proposed. Furthermore, by means of singular value decomposition (SVD) of the overlap matrix of the α and β orbitals, the OSFNO algorithm identifies the corresponding orbitals and determines virtual orbitals corresponding to the singly occupied space. This is followed by SVD of the singlet part of the state density matrix in the remaining virtual orbital subspace. The so-computed FNOs preserve the spin purity of the open-shell orbital subspace to the extent allowed by the original reference, thus facilitating a safe truncation of the virtual space. The performance of OSFNO is benchmarked for selected diradicals and triradicals.
