Title: Multireference Equation-of-Motion Driven Similarity Renormalization Group: Theoretical Foundations and Applications to Ionized States

Journal Article · · Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation

We present a formulation and implementation of an equation-of-motion (EOM) extension of the multireference driven similarity renormalization group (MR-DSRG) formalism for ionization potentials (IP-EOM-DSRG). The IP-EOM-DSRG formalism results in a Hermitian generalized eigenvalue problem, delivering accurate ionization potentials for strongly correlated systems. The EOM step scales as O(N5) with the basis set size N, allowing for efficient calculation of spectroscopic properties, such as transition energies and intensities. The IP-EOM-DSRG formalism is combined with three truncation schemes of the parent MR-DSRG theory: an iterative nonperturbative method with up to two-body excitations [MR-LDSRG(2)] and second- and third-order perturbative approximations [DSRG-MRPT2/3]. We benchmark these variants by computing (1) the vertical valence ionization potentials of a series of small molecules at both equilibrium and stretched geometries; (2) the spectroscopic constants of several low-lying electronic states of the OH, CN, N2+, and CO+ radicals; and (3) the binding curves of low-lying electronic states of the CN radical. A comparison with experimental data and theoretical results shows that all three IP-EOM-DSRG methods accurately reproduce the vertical ionization potentials and spectroscopic constants of these systems. Notably, the DSRG-MRPT3 and MR-LDSRG(2) versions outperform several state-of-the-art multireference methods of comparable or higher cost.
