Combining multilevel Hartree–Fock and multilevel coupled cluster approaches with molecular mechanics: a study of electronic excitations in solutions
Literature Information

We investigate the coupling of different quantum-embedding approaches with a third molecular-mechanics layer, which can be either polarizable or non-polarizable. In particular, such a coupling is discussed for the multilevel families of methods, in which the system is divided into an active and an inactive orbital space. The computational cost of the resulting three-layer approaches is reduced by treating the long-range interactions at the classical level. The developed methods are tested by the calculation of excitation energies of molecular systems in aqueous solution, for which an atomistic description of the environment is crucial to correctly reproduce the specific solute–solvent interactions, such as hydrogen bonding. In particular, we present the results obtained for three different moieties – acrolein, pyridine and para-nitroaniline – showing that an almost perfect agreement with experimental data can be achieved when the relevant physico-chemical interactions are included in the modeling of the condensed phase.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
