\opening{Dear Editors,}
|
|
|
|
\justifying
|
|
Please find enclosed our manuscript entitled
|
|
\begin{quote}
|
|
\textit{``Chemically Accurate Excitation Energies With Small Basis Sets''},
|
|
\end{quote}
|
|
which we would like you to consider as a Regular Article in the \textit{Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation}.
|
|
This contribution nicely fits in the \textit{``Quantum Electronic Structure''} section.
|
|
|
|
Due to their diverse nature, the faithful description of excited states within electronic structure theory methods remains one of the grand challenges of modern theoretical chemistry.
|
|
In the present article, we show that, by combining selected configuration interaction methods and the recently proposed density-based basis set correction [see Giner et al., J. Chem. Phys. 149 (2018) 194301] one can obtain chemically-accurate vertical and adiabatic excitation energies with typically augmented double-$\zeta$ basis sets.
|
|
This nicely complements our recent investigation on ground-state properties [see Loos et al., J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 10 (2019) 2931] which has evidenced that one recovers quintuple-$\zeta$ quality atomization and correlation energies with triple-$\zeta$ basis sets for a much lower computational cost than F12 methods.
|
|
The present density-based correction relies on short-range correlation density functionals (with multideterminant reference) from range-separated density-functional theory to capture the missing part of the short-range correlation effects, a consequence of the incompleteness of the one-electron basis set.
|
|
|
|
We suggest Sandeep Sharma, David Tew, Claudia Filippi, Eric Neuscamman, and Emmanuel Fromager as potential referees.
|
|
This contribution has never been submitted in total nor in parts to any other journal, and has been seen and approved by all authors.
|
|
We look forward to hearing from you.

\closing{Sincerely, the authors.}
