Theoretical Prediction of Magnetic Exchange Coupling Constants from Broken-Symmetry Coupled Cluster Calculations

Abstract

Exchange coupling constants ($J$) are fundamental to the understanding of spin spectra of magnetic systems. Here we investigate the broken-symmetry (BS) approaches of Noodleman and Yamaguchi in conjunction with coupled cluster (CC) methods to obtain exchange couplings. $J$ values calculated from CC in this fashion converge smoothly towards the FCI result with increasing level of CC excitation. We compare this BS-CC scheme to the complementary EOM-CC approach on a selection of bridged molecular cases and give results from a few other methodologies for context.
