Abstract

The development of efficient parallel implementations of electronic structure methods enables not only the study of excited states of large molecular systems but also a unique opportunity to assess the role of various correlation effects in describing excitation energies for systems composed of hundreds of electrons. In this article, we discuss the impact of triply excited configurations in Equation-of-Motion Coupled Cluster (EOMCC) formalism. As a benchmark system we chose the fused porphyrin dimer, which is described by the basis set composed of 942 functions and where 270 electrons were correlated in the EOMCC calculations.
