Replication Data for: Exact two-component Hamiltonians for relativistic quantum chemistry: Two-electron picture-change corrections made simple

<p>Based on self-consistent field (SCF) atomic mean-field (amf) quantities, we present two simple, yet computationally efficient as well as numerically accurate algebraic approaches to remedy both scalar-relativistic <em>and</em> spin-orbit two-electron picture-change effects (PCE) arising within an exact two-component (X2C) Hamiltonian framework. Both approaches, dubbed as amfX2C and e(xtended)amfX2C, allow us to uniquely tailor PCE corrections to either mean-field models, <em>viz</em>. Hartree&ndash;Fock or Kohn&ndash;Sham DFT, in the latter case also avoiding the need of a point-wise calculation of exchange&ndash;correlation PCE corrections. We assess the numerical performance of these PCE correction models on spinor energies of group-18 (closed-shell) and group-16 (open-shell) diatomic molecules, achieving a consistent &asymp; 10&minus;5-Hartree accuracy with regard to reference four-component data. Additional tests include SCF calculations of molecular properties such as absolute contact density and contact density shifts in copernicium fluoride compounds (CnFn, n=2,4,6), as well as equation-of-motion coupled cluster calculations of X-ray core ionization energies of 5<em>d</em> and 6<em>d</em>-containing molecules where we observe an excellent agreement with reference data. To conclude, we are confident that our (e)amfX2C PCE correction models constitute a fundamental milestone towards a universal and reliable relativistic two-component quantum chemical approach, maintaining the accuracy of the parent four-component one at a fraction of its computational cost.</p>
