Predicting and understanding the chemical bond is one of major challenges computational quantum chemistry. Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) most common method, but approximate functionals may not be able to describe systems where multiple electronic configurations are equally important. Multiconfigurational wave functions, on other hand, can provide a detailed structures bonds such systems. In complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) performs full configuration...
The past decade has seen a great increase in the application of high-throughput computation to variety important problems chemistry. However, one area which been resistant approach is multireference wave function methods, large part due technicalities setting up these calculations and particular not always intuitive challenge active space selection. As we look toward future applying all areas chemistry, it prepare methods for large-scale automation. Here, propose ranked-orbital select spaces...
In organic reactivity studies, quantum chemical calculations play a pivotal role as the foundation of understanding and machine learning model development. While prevalent black-box methods like density functional theory (DFT) coupled-cluster (e.g., CCSD(T)) have significantly advanced our reactivity, they frequently fall short in describing multiconfigurational transition states intermediates. Achieving more accurate description necessitates use multireference methods. However, these not...
The localized active space self-consistent field method factorizes a complete wave function into an antisymmetrized product of fragments. Correlation between fragments is then reintroduced through state interaction (LASSI), in which the Hamiltonian diagonalized model LAS states. However, optimal procedure for defining and LASSI unknown. We here present automated framework to explore systematically convergent sets spaces, we call LASSI[r, q]. This requires user select only r, number electron...

Faulting and brittle deformation of mantle rocks occurs in many tectonic settings such as oceanic transform faults, detachment subduction zones, continental rifts. However, few data exist that directly explore the frictional properties peridotite rocks. Improved constraints on is important for a more complete understanding rheological lithosphere. Furthermore, our comparatively detailed plastic olivine allows us to possible role thermally activated intracrystalline mechanisms macroscopically...
Photonic materials with positionally ordered structure can interact strongly light to produce brilliant structural colors.

Owing loose stacking nanodiscs, such colloidal dispersion is able reflect a broad-spectrum wavelength, which reflection be further enhanced by adding carbon nanoparticles reduce background scattering. Upon addition electrolytes, vivid colors...

Exhumed sections of the middle and lower crust in western New Zealand reveal how deformation was partitioned within a thermally rheologically evolving crustal column during Cretaceous continental extension. Structural data, P ‐ T determinations, U‐Pb geochronology from central Fiordland Paparoa Range Westland show that extension initiated by ∼114 Ma as period arc‐related magmatism waned. Initially, localized into areas were weakened heat magma. However, these hot, weak zones ephemeral....
We introduce multiconfiguration data-driven functional methods (MC-DDFMs), a group of which aim to correct the total or classical energy qualitatively accurate multiconfigurational wave function using machine-learned some featurization such as its density, on-top both. On data set carbene singlet–triplet splittings, we show that MC-DDFMs are able achieve near-benchmark performance on systems not used for training with robust degree active-space independence. Beyond demonstrating density and...
Excited states of transition metal complexes are generally strongly correlated due to the near-degeneracy d orbitals. Consequently, electronic structure calculations such species often necessitate multireference approaches. However, widespread use methods is hindered active space selection problem, which has historically required system-specific chemical knowledge and a trial-and-error approach. Here, we address this issue with an automated method combining approximate pair coefficient (APC)...
Qualitative and quantitative orbital properties such as bonding/antibonding character, localization, energies are critical to how chemists understand reactivity, catalysis, excited-state behavior. Despite this, representations of orbitals in deep learning models have been very underdeveloped relative molecular geometries Hamiltonians. Here, we apply state-of-the-art equivariant architectures the task assigning global labels orbitals, namely characterizations, given coefficients from...

The selection of an adequate set active orbitals for modeling strongly correlated electronic states is difficult to automate because it highly dependent on the and molecule interest. Although many approaches have shown some success, no single approach has worked well in all cases. In light this, we present "discrete variational selection" (DVS) space selection, which one generates multiple trial wave functions from a diverse systematically constructed spaces then selects between these...
[1] We present results from experiments designed to investigate the interactions between stress-driven melt segregation and reaction-enhanced infiltration, two mechanisms that have previously been studied independently of each other. A source (with a fraction below rheologically critical fraction) in which basaltic is either orthopyroxene-saturated or orthopyroxene-undersaturated was coupled with nominally melt-free olivine + orthopyroxene sink cylindrical configurations deformed torsion. As...
Chiral monoprotected aminoethyl amine (MPAAM) ligands were recently reported to facilitate enantioselective Pd-catalyzed arylation of strong cyclopropane C(sp3)–H bonds. Herein, we describe detailed experimental and theoretical investigations into the influence MPAAM ligands, L1 L2, as well a thioether (MPAThio) ligand, L3, on reaction kinetics, product enantioselectivity, turnover number. We show an unusual negative nonlinear effect in ligand enantiopurity rate ee that has not been shown...
To investigate the coupling between stress-driven melt segregation and reaction-driven infiltration, we performed static annealing torsional deformation experiments on couples constructed from a melt-rich basaltic source melt-poor olivine + orthopyroxene chromite basalt sink.
