AbstractWe present general analytical expressions for the matrix elements of the atom–diatom interaction potential, expanded in terms of Legendre polynomials, in a basis set of products of two spherical harmonics, especially significant to the recently developed adiabatic variational theory for cold molecular collision experiments [J. Chem. Phys. 143, 074114 (2015); J. Phys. Chem. A 121, 2194 (2017)]. We used two approaches in our studies. The first involves the evaluation of the integral containing trigonometric functions with arbitrary powers. The second approach is based on the theorem of addition of spherical harmonics.

We present a practical approach for computing the Breit-Pauli spin-orbit matrix elements of multiconfigurational systems with both spin and spatial degeneracies based on our recently developed RAS-nSF-IP/EA method (JCTC, 15,<br>2278, 2019). The spin-orbit matrix elements over all the multiplet components are computed using a single one-particle reduced density matrix as a result of the Wigner-Eckart theorem. A mean field spin-orbit approximation was used to account for the two-electron contributions. Basis set dependence as well as the effect of including additional excitations is presented. The effect of correlating the core and semi-core orbitals is also examined. Surprisingly accurate results are obtained for spin-orbit coupling constants, despite the fact that the efficient wavefunction approximations we explore neglect the bulk of dynamical correlation.<br>

AbstractThe probability of hole-propagation of initially prepared vacancies in 1,5-hexadiene (1) and 1,6-heptadiene (2) as well as the transfer mechanisms in 1 and 2 are studied by means of timedependent perturbation theory. Times of equibrilation of about 10-15 sec are calculated. Local perturbations in the π moieties are efficiently transmitted via CH-σ states while CC-σ functions and the direct transfer channel are less important. The theoretical key step consist in an unitary transformation of the canonical molecular orbitals (CMO's) with the diagonal Fock operator into a set of one-electron states forming a transport-type Fockian, FHT, where only a few matrix elements (between the evoluting orbitals and a set of messenger states) differ from zero.
