Quantum chemistry methods that describe excited states on the same footing as the ground state are generally scarce. In previous work, Gill et al. (J. Phys. Chem. A 112, 13164 (2008)) and later Sundstrom and Head-Gordon (J. Chem. Phys. 140, 114103 (2014)) considered excited states resulting from a non-orthogonal configuration interaction (NOCI) on stationary solutions of the Hartree–Fock equations. We build upon those contributions and present the state-averaged resonating Hartree–Fock (sa-ResHF) method, which differs from NOCI in that spin-projection and orbital relaxation effects are incorporated from the onset. Our results in a set of small molecules (alanine, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, formamide, and ethylene) suggest that sa-ResHF excitation energies are a notable improvement over configuration interaction singles (CIS), at a mean-field computational cost. The orbital relaxation in sa-ResHF, in the presence of a spin-projection operator, generally results in excitation energies that are closer to the experimental values than the corresponding NOCI ones.

In a previous work Sims and Hagstrom [J Chem Phys 140,224312(2014)] reported Hylleraas-configuration interaction (Hy-CI) method variational calculations for the 1S ground states of the beryllium isoelectronic sequence with an estimated accuracy of 10 to 20 nanohartrees (nHa). In this work the calculations have been extended to the five higher states of the neutral beryllium atom, 3 1S, 4 1S, 5 1S, 6 1S, and 7 1S. The best non-relativistic energies obtained for these states are -14.4182 4034 6, -14.3700 8789 0, -14.3515 1167 6, -14.3424 0357 8, and -14.3372 6649 96 Ha, respectively. The 6 1S result is superior to the known reference energy for that state, while for the 7 1S state there is no other comparable calculation.

Configuration Interaction Calculations

Multireference configuration interaction calculations are carried out for ground and excited states of trichloromethanol to investigate two important photofragmentation processes relevant to atmospheric chemistry. For CCl3OH five low-lying excited states in the energy range between 6.1 and 7.1 eV are found to be highly repulsive for C-Cl elongation leading to Cl2COH (X2A') and Cl (X2P). Photodissociation along C-O cleavage resulting in Cl3C (X2A') and OH (X2Π) has to overcome a barrier of about 0.8 eV (13A'', 11A'') and 1.2 eV (13A') because the low-lying excited states 11A'', 13A' and 13A'' become repulsive only after elongating the C-O bond by about 0.3 Å.

The excitation energies calculated by the HAM/3 procedure for ΠΠ* transitions in linear molecules can be internally inconsistent by as much as ± 0.6 eV. In the recent study by Åsbrink etal., the problem was avoided by adopting Recknagel's expressions and requiring the proper average ΠΠ* excitation energy. In this paper, we trace the small inconsistency back to its origin in HAM/3 theory and derive the analytical expression for the energy correction as well as Recknagel's formulas. Numerical examples studied include all seven linear molecules investigated by Åsbrink etal. The explicit expression for the correction enables us to perform meaningful configuration-interaction calculations on the excited states, as illustrated by the carbon suboxide molecule.
