% Abstract
|
||
\begin{abstract}
|
||
Based on 284 reference vertical transition energies of various natures (singlet, triplet, valence, Rydberg, $n\to\pi^*$, $\pi\to\pi^*$, and double excitations) extracted from the QUEST database, we assess the accuracy of third-order multireference perturbation theory, CASPT3, in the context of molecular excited states.
|
||
When one applies the disputable ionization-potential-electron-affinity (IPEA) shift, we show that CASPT3 provides a similar accuracy as its second-order counterpart, CASPT2, with the same mean absolute error of 0.11 eV.
|
||
However, as already reported, we also observe that the accuracy of CASPT3 is almost insensitive to the IPEA shift, irrespective of the considered type of the transition and system size, with a small reduction of the mean absolute error to 0.09 eV when the IPEA shift is switched off.

\section{Introduction}
|
||
\label{sec:intro}
|
||
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
|
||
|
||
Perturbation theory is a relatively inexpensive route towards the exact solution of the Schr\"odinger equation.
|
||
However, it rarely works this way in practice as the perturbative series may exhibit quite a large spectrum of behaviors. \cite{Olsen_1996,Christiansen_1996,Cremer_1996,Olsen_2000,Olsen_2019,Stillinger_2000,Goodson_2000a,Goodson_2000b,Goodson_2004,Sergeev_2005,Sergeev_2006,Goodson_2011}
|
||
For example, in single-reference M{\o}ller-Plesset (MP) perturbation theory, \cite{Moller_1934} erratic, slowly convergent, and divergent behaviors have been observed. \cite{Laidig_1985,Knowles_1985,Handy_1985,Gill_1986,Laidig_1987,Nobes_1987,Gill_1988,Gill_1988a,Lepetit_1988,Leininger_2000a,Malrieu_2003,Damour_2021}
|
||
Systematic improvement is thus difficult to achieve and it is extremely challenging to predict, \textit{a priori}, the evolution of the series when increasing the perturbation order. \cite{Marie_2021a}
|
||
This has led, in certain specific contexts, to the development of empirical strategy like MP2.5 where one averages the second-order (MP2) and third-order (MP3) total energies, to obtain more accurate values. \cite{Pitonak_2009}
|
||
|
||
Extension of single-reference perturbation theory to electronic excited states is far from being trivial, and the algebraic diagrammatic
|
||
construction (ADC) approximation of the polarization propagator is probably the most natural. \cite{Schirmer_1982,Schirmer_1991,Barth_1995,Schirmer_2004,Schirmer_2018,Trofimov_1997,Trofimov_1997b,Trofimov_2002,Trofimov_2005,Trofimov_2006,Harbach_2014,Dreuw_2015}
|
||
However, the ADC series naturally inherits some of the drawbacks of its MP parent and it has been shown to be rather slowly convergent in the context of vertical excitation energies. \cite{Loos_2018a,Loos_2020a,Veril_2021}
|
||
This has led some of us to recently propose the ADC(2.5) composite approach, where, in the same spirit as MP2.5, one averages the second-order [ADC(2)] and third-order [ADC(3)] vertical transition energies. \cite{Loos_2020d}
|
||
|
||
Multi-reference perturbation theory is somewhat easier to generalize to excited states as one has the freedom to select the states of interest to include in the reference (zeroth-order) space via the so-called complete-active-space self-consistent field (CASSCF) formalism, hence effectively catching static correlation in the zeroth-order model space.
|
||
The missing dynamical correlation can then be recovered in the (first-order) outer space via low-order perturbation theory, as performed in the complete-active-space second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) of Roos and coworkers, \cite{Andersson_1990,Andersson_1992,Roos_1995a} the multireference MP2 approach of Hirao, \cite{Hirao_1992} or the $N$-electron valence state second-order perturbation theory (NEVPT2) developed by Angeli, Malrieu, and coworkers. \cite{Angeli_2001a,Angeli_2001b,Angeli_2002,Angeli_2006}
|
||
However, these multi-reference formalisms and their implementation are much more involved and costly than their single-reference counterparts.
|
||
Although it has well-documented weaknesses, CASPT2 is indisputably the most popular of the three approaches mentioned above.
|
||
As such, it has been employed in countless computational studies involving electronic excited states. %\cite{Serrano-Andres_1993a,Serrano-Andres_1993b,Serrano-Andres_1993c,Serrano-Andres_1995,Roos_1996,Serrano-Andres_1996a,Serrano-Andres_1996b,Serrano-Andres_1998b,Roos_1999,Merchan_1999,Roos_2002,Serrano-Andres_2002,Serrano-Andres_2005,Tozer_1999,Burcl0_2002,Peach_2008,Faber_2013,Schreiber_2008,Silva-Junior_2008,Sauer_2009,Silva-Junior_2010a,Silva-Junior_2010b,Silva-Junior_2010c}
|
||
|
||
In the context of excited states, its most severe drawback is certainly the intruder state problem (which is, by construction, absent in NEVPT2) that describes a situation where one or several determinants of the outer (first-order) space, known as perturbers, have an energy close to the zeroth-order CASSCF wave function, hence producing divergences in the denominators of the second-order perturbative energy.
|
||
One can introduce a shift in the denominators to avoid such situations, and correcting afterwards the second-order energy for the use of this shift.
|
||
The use of real-valued \cite{Roos_1995b,Roos_1996} or imaginary \cite{Forsberg_1997} level shifts has been successfully tested and is now routine in excited-state calculations. \cite{Schapiro_2013,Zobel_2017,Sarkar_2022}
|
||
|
||
A second pitfall was revealed by Andersson \textit{et al.} \cite{Andersson_1993,Andersson_1995} and explained by the unbalanced treatment in the zeroth-order Hamiltonian of the open- and closed-shell electronic configurations.
|
||
A cure was quickly proposed via the introduction of an additional parameter in the zeroth-order Hamiltonian, the ionization-potential-electron-affinity (IPEA) shift. \cite{Ghigo_2004}
|
||
Although the introduction of an IPEA shift can provide a better agreement between experiment and theory, \cite{Pierloot_2006,Pierloot_2008,Suaud_2009,Kepenekian_2009,Daku_2012,Rudavskyi_2014,Vela_2016,Wen_2018} it has been shown that its application is not systematically justified and that its impact is significantly basis set dependent. \cite{Zobel_2017}
|
||
|
||
Very recently, based on the highly accurate vertical excitation energies of the QUEST database, \cite{Loos_2018a,Loos_2019,Loos_2020a,Loos_2020b,Loos_2020c,Veril_2021,Loos_2021c,Loos_2021b} we have reported an exhaustive benchmark of CASPT2 and NEVPT2 for 284 excited states of diverse natures (singlet, triplet, valence, Rydberg, $n\to\pis$, $\pi\to\pis$, and double excitations) computed with a large basis set (aug-cc-pVTZ) in 35 small- and medium-sized organic molecules containing from three to six non-hydrogen atoms. \cite{Sarkar_2022}
|
||
Our main take-home message was that both CASPT2 with IPEA shift and the partially-contracted version of NEVPT2 provide fairly reliable vertical transition energy estimates, with slight overestimations and mean absolute errors of \SI{0.11}{} and \SI{0.13}{\eV}, respectively.
|
||
Importantly, the introduction of the IPEA shift in CASPT2 was found to be crucial as neglecting it increases the mean absolute error to \SI{0.27}{eV}.
|
||
|
||
In the electronic structure community, third-order perturbation theory has a fairly bad reputation especially within MP perturbation theory where it is rarely worth its extra computational cost. \cite{Rettig_2020}
|
||
Nonetheless, going against popular beliefs and one step further in the perturbative expansion, we propose here to assess the performance of the complete-active-space third-order perturbation theory (CASPT3) method developed by Werner \cite{Werner_1996} and implemented in MOLPRO \cite{Werner_2020} for the very same set of electronic transitions as the one used in Ref.~\onlinecite{Sarkar_2022}
|
||
Although CASPT3 calculations have been reported in the literature,
|
||
\cite{Angeli_2006,Yanai_2007,Grabarek_2016,Li_2017,Li_2018,Li_2021,Bittererova_2001,Bokarev_2009,Frankcombe_2011,Gu_2008,Kerkines_2005,Lampart_2008,Leininger_2000,Maranzana_2020,Papakondylis_1999,Schild_2013,Sun_2018,Takatani_2009,Takatani_2010,Verma_2018,Woywod_2010,Yan_2004,Zhang_2020,Zhu_2005,Zhu_2007,Zhu_2013,Zou_2009}
|
||
the present study provides, to the best of our knowledge, the first comprehensive benchmark of CASPT3 and allows assessing its accuracy in the framework of electronically excited states.
|
||
%DJ: Ce sont des phrases de ccls, dj dans l'abstract, pq aussi dans l'Intro ?
|
||
%Based on the same 284 highly-accurate vertical excitation energies from the QUEST database, we show that CASPT3 only provides a very slight improvement over CASPT2 as far as accuracy is concerned.
|
||
%Moreover, as already reported in Ref.~\onlinecite{Grabarek_2016} where CASPT3 excitation energies are reported for retinal chromophore minimal models, we also observe that the accuracy of CASPT3 is much less sensitive to the IPEA shift.
|
||
We underline that, although a third-order version of NEVPT has been developed \cite{Angeli_2006} and has been used in some applications \cite{Pastore_2006a,Pastore_2006b,Pastore_2007,Angeli_2007,Camacho_2010,Angeli_2011,Angeli_2012} by Angeli and coworkers, as far as we are aware of, no NEVPT3 implementation are publicly available.

|

\end{figure}
|
||
%%% %%% %%% %%%
|
||
|
||
For each compound represented in Fig.~\ref{fig:mol}, we have computed the CASPT2 and CASPT3 vertical excitation energies with Dunning's aug-cc-pVTZ
|
||
basis set. \cite{Kendall_1992}
|
||
Geometries and reference theoretical best estimates (TBEs) for the vertical excitation energies have been extracted from the QUEST database \cite{Veril_2021} and can be downloaded at \url{https://lcpq.github.io/QUESTDB_website}.
|
||
|
||
All the CASPT2 and CASPT3 calculations have been carried out in the frozen-core approximation and with MOLPRO within the RS2 and RS3 contraction schemes as described in Refs.~\onlinecite{Werner_1996} and \onlinecite{Werner_2020}.
|
||
Both methods have been tested with and without IPEA (labeled as NOIPEA).
|
||
When an IPEA shift is applied, its value is set to the \SI{0.25}{\hartree} default, as discussed in Ref.~\onlinecite{Ghigo_2004}.
|
||
The MOLPRO implementation of CASPT3 is based on a modification of the multi-reference configuration interaction (MRCI) module. \cite{Werner_1988,Knowles_1988}
|
||
For the sake of computational efficiency, the doubly-excited external configurations are internally contracted while the singly-excited internal and semi-internal configurations are left uncontracted. \cite{Werner_1996}
|
||
These perturbative calculations have been performed by considering a state-averaged (SA) CASSCF wave function where we have included the ground state and (at least) the excited states of interest.
|
||
In several occasions, we have added additional excited states to avoid convergence and/or root-flipping issues.
|
||
|
||
For each system and transition, we report in the {\SupInf} the exhaustive description of the active spaces for each symmetry representation.
|
||
Additionally, for the challenging transitions, we have steadily increased the size of the active space to carefully assess the convergence of the vertical excitation energies of interest.
|
||
Note that, compared to our previous CASPT2 benchmark study, \cite{Sarkar_2022} the active spaces of acrolein, pyrimidine, and pyridazine have been slightly reduced in order to make the CASPT3 calculations technically achievable.
|
||
In these cases, we have recomputed the CASPT2 values for the same active space for the sake of consistency.
|
||
Although these active space reductions are overall statistically negligible, this explains the small deviations that one may observe between the data reported here and in Ref.~\onlinecite{Sarkar_2022}.
|
||
Finally, to alleviate the intruder state problem, a level shift of \SI{0.3}{\hartree} has been systematically applied. \cite{Roos_1995b,Roos_1996}
|
||
This value has been slightly increased in particularly difficult cases, and such cases are detailed in {\SupInf}.
|
||

\section{Results and discussion}
|
||
\label{sec:res}
|
||
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
|
||
|
||
A detailed discussion of each individual molecule can be found in Ref.~\onlinecite{Sarkar_2022} and in earlier works, \cite{Loos_2018a,Loos_2020b} where theoretical and experimental literature values are discussed.
|
||
We therefore decided to focus on global trends here.
|
||
The exhaustive list of CASPT2 and CASPT3 transitions can be found in Table \ref{tab:BigTab} and the distribution of the errors are represented in Fig.~\ref{fig:PT2_vs_PT3}.
|
||
The usual statistical indicators are used in the following, namely, the mean signed error (MSE), the mean absolute error (MAE), the root-mean-square error (RMSE), the standard deviation of the errors (SDE), as well as the largest positive and negative deviations [Max($+$) and Max($-$), respectively].
|
||
These are given in Table \ref{tab:stat} considering the 265 ``safe'' TBEs (out of 284) for which chemical accuracy is assumed (absolute error below \SI{0.043}{\eV}).
|
||
The MAEs determined for subsets of transitions (singlet, triplet, valence, Rydberg, $n\to\pis$, $\pi\to\pis$, and double excitations) and system sizes (3 non-H atoms, 4 non-H atoms, and 5-6 non-H atoms) can be found in Table \ref{tab:stat_subset}.
|
||
Error patterns for selected subsets are reported in {\SupInf}.

|
||
From the different statistical quantities reported in Table \ref{tab:stat}, one can highlight the following trends.
|
||
First, as previously reported, \cite{Werner_1996,Grabarek_2016} CASPT3 vertical excitation energies are much less sensitive to the IPEA shift, which drastically alters the accuracy of CASPT2: the mean absolute deviation between the CASPT2(NOIPEA) and CASPT2(IPEA) data is \SI{0.329}{\eV} while it is only \SI{0.051}{\eV} between CASPT3(NOIPEA) and CASPT3(IPEA).
|
||
Consequently, the MAEs of CASPT3(IPEA) and CASPT3(NOIPEA) are amazingly close (\SI{0.11}{} and \SI{0.09}{\eV}), while the MAEs of CASPT2(IPEA) and CASPT2(NOIPEA) are remarkably different (\SI{0.11}{} and \SI{0.27}{\eV}).
|
||
Likewise, the MSEs of CASPT2(IPEA) and CASPT2(NOIPEA), \SI{0.06}{} and \SI{-0.26}{\eV}, clearly evidence the well-known global underestimation of the CASPT2(NOIPEA) excitation energies in molecular systems when large basis sets are used.
|
||
For CASPT3, the MSE with IPEA shift is only slightly larger without IPEA (\SI{0.10}{} and \SI{0.05}{\eV}, respectively).
|
||
Importantly, CASPT3 performs slightly better without IPEA shift, which is a nice outcome that holds for each group of transitions and system size (see the MAEs in Table \ref{tab:stat_subset}).
|
||
|
||
Second, CASPT3 (with or without IPEA) has a similar accuracy as CASPT2(IPEA).
|
||
Again, this observation stands for each subset of excitations and irrespectively of the system size (see Table \ref{tab:stat_subset}).
|
||
Because the relative size of the active space naturally decreases as the number of electrons and orbitals get larger, we observe that the MAEs of each subset increase with the size of the molecules.
|
||
Note that combining CASPT2 and CASPT3 via an hybrid protocol such as CASPT2.5, as proposed by Zhang and Truhlar in the context of spin splitting energies in transition metals, \cite{Zhang_2020} is not beneficial in the present situation.
|
||
|
||
It is worth mentioning that CASPT3(NOIPEA) yields MAEs for each subset that is almost systematically below \SI{0.1}{\eV}, except for the singlet subset which contains some states showing large (positive) deviations at both the CASPT2 and CASPT3 levels.
|
||
This can be tracked down to the relatively small active spaces that we have considered here and, more precisely, to the lack of direct $\sig$-$\pi$ coupling in the active space which are known to be important in ionic states for example. \cite{Davidson_1996,Angeli_2009,Garniron_2018,BenAmor_2020}
|
||
\alert{These errors could be certainly alleviated by using a restricted active space (RAS) procedure.}
|
||
|
||
Comparatively, Liang \textit{et al.} have shown, for a larger set of transitions, that time-dependent density-functional theory with the best exchange-correlation functionals yield RMSEs of the order of \SI{0.3}{\eV}, \cite{Liang_2022} outperforming (more expensive) wave function methods like CIS(D). \cite{Head-Gordon_1994,Head-Gordon_1995}
|
||
The accuracy of CASPT2(IPEA) and CASPT3 is clearly a step beyond but at a much larger computational cost.
|
||
Although, these two methods do not beat the approximate third-order coupled-cluster method, CC3, \cite{Christiansen_1995b,Koch_1997} for transitions with a dominant single excitation character (for which CC3 returns a MAEs below the chemical accuracy threshold of \SI{0.043}{\eV}) \cite{Veril_2021} it has the undisputable advantage to describe with the same accuracy both single and double excitations.
|
||
This feature is crucial in the description of some photochemistry mechanisms. \cite{Boggio-Pasqua_2007}

Table \ref{tab:timings} reports the evolution of the wall times associated with the computation of the second- and third-order energies in benzene with the aug-cc-pVTZ basis and the frozen-core approximation (42 electrons and 414 basis functions) for increasingly large active spaces.
|
||
All these calculations have been performed on a single core of an Intel Xeon E5-2670 2.6Ghz.
|
||
It is particularly instructive to study the wall time ratio as the number of (contracted and uncontracted) external configurations grows (Fig.~\ref{fig:timings}).
|
||
Overall, the PT3 step takes between 5 and 10 times longer than the PT2 step for the active spaces that we have considered here, and remains thus typically affordable for these kinds of calculations.

\section{Conclusion}
|
||
\label{sec:ccl}
|
||
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
|
||
In the present study, we have benchmarked, using 284 highly-accurate electronic transitions extracted from the QUEST database, \cite{Veril_2021} the third-order multi-reference perturbation theory method, CASPT3, by computing vertical excitation energies with and without IPEA shift.
|
||
The two principal take-home messages of this study are that:
|
||
(i) CASPT3 transition energies are almost independent of the IPEA shift;
|
||
(ii) CASPT2(IPEA) and CASPT3 deliver a very similar accuracy.
|
||
These global trends are also true for specific sets of excitations and various system sizes.
|
||
Therefore, if one can afford the extra computation cost associated with the third-order energy (which is only several times more than its second-order counterpart), one can eschew the delicate choice of the IPEA value in CASPT2, and rely solely on the CASPT3(NOIPEA) excitation energies.
