Basis-set correction for coupled-cluster estimation of dipole moments

Abstract

The present work proposes an approach to obtain a basis-set correction based on density-functional theory (DFT) for the computation of molecular properties in wave-function theory (WFT). This approach allows one to accelerate the basis-set convergence of any energy derivative of a non-variational WFT method, generalizing previous works on the DFT-based basis-set correction where either only ground-state energies could be computed with non-variational wave functions [J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 10, 2931 (2019)] or properties where computed as expectation values over variational wave functions [J. Chem. Phys. 155, 044109 (2021)]. This work focuses on the basis-set correction of dipole moments in coupled-cluster with single, double, and perturbative triple excitations (CCSD(T)), which is numerically tested on a set of fourteen molecules with dipole moments covering two orders of magnitude. As the basis-set correction relies only on Hartree-Fock densities, its computational cost is marginal with respect to the one of the CCSD(T) calculations. Statistical analysis of the numerical results shows a clear improvement of the basis convergence of the dipole moment with respect to the usual CCSD(T) calculations.
