Abstract

Fock-space (FS) multi-reference (MR) coupled-cluster (CC) method has emerged as compact tool to account for electronic structure of open-shell systems and molecules in low-lying excited states. Development of linear response (LR) has been one of the challenging problems in FSMRCC due to multiple-root nature of effective Hamiltonian. The recently developed constrained variational approach (CVA) has opened up a promising tool for efficient evaluation of analytic response properties. In this article, we present formulation of the method for excited state calculations. We discuss the decoupling of equations as a result of spin-adaptation and present some preliminary results for analytical dipole moments and polarizabilities of some molecules in low-lying triplet excited states.
