“…The reformulation of NOF-MP2 based on the static part of PNOF7 (PNOF7s) and the orbital-invariant MP2 allowed us to prevent reference ONs and NOs from being spuriously influenced by nondynamic correlation in dynamic correlation domains and extend the NOF-MP2 method to any type of orbitals, including localized ones, respectively. NOF-MP2 has been shown to provide quantitative agreement for dissociation energies, with performance comparable to that of the accurate complete active space second-order perturbation theory in hydrogen abstraction reactions, and is highly reliable for accurate chemical reaction mechanistic studies in elementary reactions of transition metal compounds …”

The relative stability of the singlet, triplet, and quintet spin states of iron(II) porphyrin (FeP) represents a challenging problem for electronic structure methods. While it is currently accepted that the ground state is a triplet, multiconfigurational wave function-based methods predict a quintet, and density functional approximations vary between triplet and quintet states, leading to a prediction that highly depends on the features of the method employed. The recently proposed Global Natural Orbital Functional (GNOF) aims to provide a balanced treatment between static and dynamic correlation, and together with the previous Piris Natural Orbital Functionals (PNOFs), allowed us to explore the importance of each type of correlation in the stability order of the states of FeP with a method that conserves the spin of the system. It is noteworthy that GNOF correlates all electrons in all available orbitals for a given basis set; in the case of the FeP with a double-ζ basis set as used in this work, this means that GNOF can properly correlate 186 electrons in 465 orbitals, significantly increasing the sizes of systems amenable to multiconfigurational treatment. Results show that PNOF5, PNOF7s, and PNOF7 predict the quintet to have a lower energy than the triplet state; however, the addition of dynamic correlation via secondorder Møller−Plesset corrections (NOF-MP2) turns the triplet state to be lower than the quintet state, a prediction also reproduced by GNOF that incorporates much more dynamic correlation than its predecessors.

We develop a new family of electronic structure methods for capturing at the same time the dynamic and nondynamic correlation effects. We combine the natural orbital functional theory (NOFT) and many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) through a canonicalization procedure applied to the natural orbitals to gain access to any MBPT approximation. We study three different scenarios: corrections based on second-order Møller−Plesset (MP2), random-phase approximation (RPA), and coupled-cluster singles doubles (CCSD). Several chemical problems involving different types of electron correlation in singlet and multiplet spin states have been considered. Our numerical tests reveal that RPA-based and CCSD-based corrections provide similar relative errors in molecular dissociation energies (D e ) to the results obtained using a MP2 correction. With respect to the MP2 case, the CCSD-based correction improves the prediction, while the RPA-based correction reduces the computational cost.

“…Nevertheless, they also suffer from an important lack of dynamic correlation. To recover this correlation, second-order perturbative corrections have been implemented with significant results [27][28][29][30]. In this work, however, it is intended to recover the missing dynamic correlation within the NOFT framework only.…”
