Automatic Selection of Active Orbitals from Generalized Valence Bond Orbitals
The Journal of Physical Chemistry A, 2020The accurate multireference (MR) calculation of a strongly correlated chemical system usually relies on a correct preselection of a small number of active orbitals from numerous molecular orbitals. Currently, the active orbitals are generally determined by using a trial-and-error method. Such a preselection by chemical intuition and personal experience

Generalized valence bond description of simple ylides
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 1983The electronic structures of the simplest ylides of nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur have been determined from ab initio molecular orbital theory at the generalized valence bond (GVB) + POL-CI level. The calculations were performed with double-zeta quality basis sets augmented by polarization (d) functions on the heavy atoms and a set of ...

Computational developments in generalized valence bond calculations
Journal of Computational Chemistry, 1996In this article a procedure for generating starting orbitals for generalized valence bond (GVB) calculations is presented. This is achieved by selecting orbitals which correspond to specific bonds or electron pairs. These orbitals can be identified from the localized molecular orbitals, for both occupied and virtual orbitals, which are obtained through

Generalized valence bond molecular dynamics at constant temperature
Molecular Physics, 1996The Nose–Hoover chain thermostat of Martyna, Klein and Tuckerman has been adapted to work with our generalized valence bond ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) method, allowing us to perform AIMD in the canonical ensemble (constant number of particles temperature and volume).

Excitation energies from time-dependent generalized valence bond method
Theoretical Chemistry Accounts, 2015A generalized valence bond perfect-pairing (GVBPP) wavefunction has been extensively used in computational chemistry methods due to its multiconfigurational character, which captures in an inexpensive way static electron correlation. GVB-PP has been mostly applied to ground states and not much is known about its performance in predicting electronic ...

Connections between coupled cluster and generalized valence bond theories
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2001We explore the fundamental connections between certain approximate coupled cluster (CC) and generalized valence bond (GVB) wave functions. We show that the GVB restricted configuration interaction (GVB-RCI) wave function can be associated with a compact CC expansion in the valence space.

Implementation of generalized valence bond-inspired coupled cluster theories
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2002We present an implementation of the recently proposed imperfect pairing (IP) and generalized valence bond restricted coupled cluster (GVB-RCC) methods. Our algorithm centers on repeated construction of Coulomb and exchange matrices. These operations are the computational bottleneck, scaling with the third power of system size for large systems.

Calculations using generalized valence bond based Møller–Plesset perturbation theory
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2001This work presents calculations on small molecules using second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory with a generalized valence bond reference wave function. Møller–Plesset perturbation theory applied to a generalized valence bond reference (GVB-MP2) currently provides the best tradeoff between accuracy and computational feasibility among the ...
