Abstract A challenge in molecular spintronics is to control the magnetic coupling between molecules and electrodes build efficient devices. Here we show that nature of ion anchored metal complexes highly impacts exchange with substrates. Surface anchoring alters anisotropy cobalt(II)-containing complex (Co(Pyipa) 2 ), results blocking its magnetization due presence a hysteresis loop. In contrast, no loop observed isostructural nickel(II)-containing (Ni(Pyipa) ). Through XMCD experiments...
Abstract The full configuration interaction (FCI) method is only applicable to small molecules with few electrons in moderate size basis sets. One of the main alternatives obtain approximate FCI energies for bigger and larger sets selected CI. However, due to: (a) lack a well‐defined structure CI Hamiltonian, (b) potentially large number together c) orbital spaces, computationally memory efficient algorithm difficult construct. In present series papers, we describe our attempts address these...
The present work is the second part in our three-part series on comparison of many-particle representations for selected configuration interaction (CI) method.

We describe main parameters enter algorithm perform a set 21 small molecules compare ground state energies with full (FCI) results (FCI21...

In multi-reference (MR) methods, addressing systems with large active spaces remains a challenge in the field. Papers I and II of this series, we demonstrated that full rank N-electron valence state second-order perturbation theory (FR-NEVPT2) is robust MR capable computing strongly correlated approximate density matrices. However, previous FR-NEVPT2 implementation requires computation storage fifth-order reduced matrices (RDMs), limiting usage for spaces. present work, as Paper III report...
Understanding the detailed electronic structure of transition metal ions is essential in numerous areas inorganic chemistry. In particular, ability to map out many particle d–d spectrum a catalyst key understanding and predicting reactivity. However, from practical perspective, there are often experimental limitations on determine energetic ordering, multiplicity all excited states. These derive part parity spin-selection rules, as well limited energy range standard laboratory instruments....
The electronic structure of multinuclear transition metal complexes is a highly challenging problem for quantum chemical methods. problems to be solved successful analysis include the following: (1) many unpaired electrons leading "highly entangled" wave functions that cannot calculated by standard methods, (2) drastic differences between one-particle and many-particle spectra high density low-lying states, (3) interpretation such complex in terms. In this work, we continue our research on...
Iron-sulfur (FeS) proteins are universally found in nature with actives sites ranging complexity from simple monomers to multinuclear two up eight iron atoms. These include mononuclear (rubredoxins), dinuclear (ferredoxins and Rieske proteins), trinuclear (e.g., hydrogenases), tetranuclear (various ferredoxins high-potential iron-sulfur proteins). The electronic structure of the higher-nuclearity clusters is inherently extremely complex. Hence, it reasonable take a bottom-up approach which...

We present systematic comparison monomers dimers their analogs using wave...
The objective of this paper is to design a consistent series organic molecules that may present double exchange mechanism and study their low energy spectrum using spin unrestricted Density Functional Theory. For purpose, tetra-methylene methane units having an S = 1 ground state diamagnetic bridges are taken as building blocks for constructing two or more magnetic units. When biunit systems ionized, the resulting molecular ions be either quartet, if ruled by mechanism, doublet, it obeys...

The sampling of the configuration space in diffusion Monte Carlo is done using walkers moving randomly. In a previous work on Hubbard model [R. Assaraf, P. Azaria, M. Caffarel, and Lecheminant, Phys. Rev. B 60, 2299 (1999).], it was shown that probability for walker to stay certain amount time same state obeys Poisson law on-state dynamics can be integrated out exactly, leading an effective connecting only different states. Here, we extend this idea general case trapped within domains...
