摘要: Although electronic and magnetic circular dichroism (ECD, MCD) spectra reveal valuable details about molecular geometry structure, quantum-chemical simulations significantly facilitate their interpretation. However, the simulated results may depend on choice of coordinate origin. Previously (Stěpanek Bouř, J. Comput. Chem. 2013, 34, 1531), sum-over-states (SOS) methodology was found useful for efficient MCD computations. Approximate wave functions were "resolved" using time-dependent density functional theory, origin-dependence avoided by placing origin to center mass investigated molecule. In this study, a more elegant way is proposed, based localized orbital/local (LORG) formalism, similar approach also applied generate ECD intensities. The LORG-like yields fully origin-independent spectra. thus indicate that computationally relatively cheap SOS open new modeling properties, including those involving origin-dependent dipole moment operator.
