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>

The dipole polarizabilities (α) and polarizability anisotropies (Δα) of over 20 molecules are calculated to search for negative Δα. The geometry of each molecule is first optimized at the level of CCSD(T)/cc-pVQZ. Then, the α tensors are computed both with CCSD(T)/daug-cc-pVTZ in Gaussian 09 and with the exchange-correlation potential Vxc known as SAOP in the Amsterdam density functional theory program called ADF and a large basis set called QZ3P-3DIFFUSE. In addition to the popular formula of the ΔαRaman connected with Raman spectroscopy, we also present values of an alternative definition of the polarizability anisotropy ΔαKerr connected with Kerr spectroscopy, recently proposed by Kampfrath and colleagues (2018. Chem. Phys. Lett. 692: 319). On one hand, the signs of many ΔαRaman are undetermined; on the other hand, we obtain negative ΔαKerr for more than one-half of the small molecules studied. Of the 24 molecules studied, 18 have negative ΔαKerr.
