We present an accurate method for calculating hyperfine coupling constants (HFCCs) based on the complete active space second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2) with full internal contraction. The HFCCs are computed as a first-order property using the relaxed CASPT2 spin-density matrix that takes into account orbital and configurational relaxation due to dynamical electron correlation. The first-order unrelaxed spin-density matrix is calculated from one- and two-body spin-free counterparts that are readily available in the CASPT2 nuclear gradient program [M. K. MacLeod and T. Shiozaki, J. Chem. Phys. 142, 051103 (2015)], whereas the second-order part is computed directly using the newly extended automatic code generator. The relaxation contribution is then calculated from the so-called Z-vectors that are available in the CASPT2 nuclear gradient program. Numerical results are presented for the CN and AlO radicals, for which the CASPT2 values are comparable (or, even superior in some cases) to the ones computed by the coupled-cluster and density matrix renormalization group methods. The HFCCs for the hexaaqua complexes with VII, CrIII, and MnII are also presented to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of our code.

在早期的工作[J. Chem. Phys. 144，064102（2016）]中，我们引入了二阶N电子价态微扰理论（t-NEVPT 2）的时间依赖性公式，其（i）具有比通常的内部收缩微扰公式更低的计算标度，并且（ii）产生完全未收缩的NEVPT 2能量。在这里，我们提出了一个组合的t-NEVPT 2与矩阵产品状态（MPS）的参考波函数（t-MPS-NEVPT 2），允许计算未收缩的动态相关能量为大的活性空间和基组，使用时间相关的密度矩阵重整化群（TD-DMRG）算法。此外，我们报告了一个低尺度的MPS为基础的实施强收缩NEVPT 2（sc-MPS-NEVPT 2），避免了计算的四粒子约简密度矩阵。我们使用这些新的方法来计算的铬二聚体的解离能和研究的低-躺在激发态的全反式多烯（C $_4$ H $_6$ C $_{24}$ H $_{26}$），将动态相关的参考波函数与多达24个活性电子和轨道。
