3 Embedding Strategy (general idea) Frozen density embedding theory (in a nutshell) 1) All information about the environment is contained in density B 2) The embedding operator is a local potential determined uniquely by the charge density of the environment ( B poz, B) and the embedded system ( A ) V emb V emb( FDET) r, A, B N B Z R ( B) r B ( r') dr' r r' E xc T.A.

Wesolowski, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2004, 126, ) Many computational methods possible: what to chose as H o, how to approximate V emb(fdet), what properties are evaluated, how to obtain B

4 B dependency of the total FDET energy B electron density of the environment (can be macroscopic!) total electron density (can be macroscopic!) v v v A electron density of the QM subsystem By construction, E emb v[ B ] is the upper bound of the exact ground-state energy of the whole system of N electrons in potential v(r)!!

6 Approximating the FDET embedding potential in practice (1) I. Neglecting the last two terms (electrostatic only) Advantages: - easy to calculate (multipole expansion of the potential) - captures the dominant contribution in many cases Disadvantages: - fails to describe quantum confinement (intermolecular Pauli repulsion) [M. Zbiri, M. Atanasov, C. Daul, J.-M. Garcia Lastra & TAW, Chem. Phys. Lett. 397 (2004) 441] - strong dependency on the basis set (wrong variational limit) [Fradelos & TAW, J. Phys. Chem. A 115 (2011) 10018] - lack of self-consentience between: energy of interaction between embedded system and its environment, embedding potential, embedded wavefunction

7 Approximating the FDET embedding potential in practice (2) ~ ~ II. Replacing exact density functionals in the last two terms by approximants Advantages: All results presented in this talk use this approximation to v loc emb (r)! - self-consentience between: energy of interaction between embedded system and its environment, embedding potential, embedded wavefunction. - intermolecular Pauli repulsion is represented - robust solution with respect to basis set choices Disadvantages: - no good approximations for non-electrostatic terms in case of strong density overlap (chemical bonding between subsystems) - interaction energy functional is not homogeneous in A E int A r)v emb (r)dr

8 Approximating the FDET embedding potential in practice (3) ~ fix ~ fix III Replacing exact density functionals by approximants + linearization of the interaction energy bi-functional Replacing the self-consistent A by some arbitrary chosen A fix (electron density of isolated chromophore for instance) Advantages: - intermolecular Pauli repulsion still accounted for - simplicity in numerical implementation [see Dulak, Kaminski &TAW, Intl. J. Quant. Chem., 109 (2009) 1883] Disadvantages: - lack of self-consistency between energy, potential, and wavefunction - may be inadequate for methods based on response theory embedding potential does not depend on A

9 Approximating the FDET embedding potential in practice (4) fix fix = v inv (r) IV Obtaining the potential via direct inversion procedure + linearization of the interaction energy functional and Replacing the self-consistent A by some arbitrary chosen A fix and obtaining the embedding potential directly (without the use of any approximations for density functional) Roncero, Miller, Jacob, Carter. Advantages: - can treat covalently bound environments - all other advantages of linearization of the interaction energy bi-functional Disadvantages: - all disadvantages of linearization - numerical robustness problems (see the recent work by C. Jacob)

10 Choices to be made in computational methods based on FDET within Approximation II made for the embedding potential ~ ~ A) Approximation for the bi-functional T s nad [ A, B ] (and its functional derivative) a) If the overlap between A and B is small (environment not covalently bound,) use GGA97 or NDSD b) If the overlap between A and B is large (covalently bound environment), no good approximations so far. B) What to choose as H 0 : a) If known approximations for in DFT (or LR-TDDFT for excitations) functionals work well, use non-interacting reference system (Kohn-Sham) b) If known approximations DFT functionals fail, go beyond DFT methods use explicitly interacting Hamiltonian

18 Analytical construction of the non-additive kinetic potential The for a given pair of electron densities ( A and B ), the non-additive potential (v t nad (r)) (but not the density functional!) can be obtained from the relation (*): v t nad (r) = v s [ A + B ](r) - v s [ A ](r) (**) There is infinite number of such functions B (r) for which which E emb [ B ]=E o [Wesolowski In: Computational Chemistry Review of Current Trends, vol. 10, J. Leszczynski Ed., World Scientific, 2006, pp. 1-82] Entirely analytical in model systems: [Savin & Wesolowski Prog. Theor. Chem.& Phys, 19 (2009) 327] [Savin & Wesolowski, in Recent Progress in OF-DFT, WORLD SCIENTIFIC 2013] Analytical potential from chemically relevant numerical densities: [de Silva & TAW, J. Chem. Phys (2012)] (*) For the relation between v s [ ](r) and the numerically available Kohn-Sham potential, see [P. De Silva & T.A. Wesolowski, PRA 85 (2012) ] (**) Partition DFT (Cohen, Wasserman) is a closely related formal framework leading to unique partitioning

19 v t nad (r) for two different choices for B in He Li + He(-0.95A) Li(0.95A) B 2 1s He 2 A opt = o He..Li+ - B 2 1s Li 2 B 2 1s Li 2 A opt = o He..Li+ - B 2 1s He 2 Adding v t nad (r) to the Kohn-Sham potential for He Li + leads to the change in the ground state density. The density ( opt A ) constructed from the lowest N A occupied orbitals obtained with this new potential added to the frozen density B is equal to the ground state density of the whole system (He Li + ). [P. De Silva & T.A. Wesolowski, J. Chem. Phys. 137 (2012)

20 Partial summary: Exact embedding potentials 1) For practically all interesting pairs A and the potential v t nad [ A, ] is a smooth function 2) In view of lack of uniqueness of the partitioning, such notion as polarization or chargetransfer are not uniquely defined in FDET 3) The observed in numerical experiments uniqueness of the partitioning obtained in fully variational treatment of electron density in subsystems A and B is the result of errors in used approximations for bi-functional for the non-additive kinetic potential 4) If tot in some domain in R 3 for a given system and chosen, how it affects the properties of the optimal opt?

36 Partial summary: Dependence of solvatochromic shifts of localized excitations on the choice for B 1) Use inexpensive Kohn-Sham calculations for isolated environment to generate B. 2) The shifts are remarkably independent on the choice of the QM method to generate B - variation of the calculated shift within 0.02 ev (less than 10% of the total shift). 3) In FDET as well as in computational methods based on FDET, the notion of polarization of individual subsystem is not well-defined. It shouldn t be used as a guideline to construct the frozen density in the case of hydrogen-bonded environments. Much more important is the mutual polarization of the molecules in the environment. 4) Taking into account polarization of the environment by the embedded subsystem is still needed if the embedded subsystem is charged. (for the worst scenario case of cations surrounded by anions in the environment, see [M. Zbiri, M. Atanasov, C. Daul, J.-M. Garcia Lastra & TAW, Chem. Phys. Lett. 397 (2004) 441]).

41 Final Summary A) In Frozen-Density Embedding Theory, the embedded wavefunction (interacting or noninteracting) is obtained from the Euler-Lagrange equation. This assures self-consistency between: i) calculated upper bound for the energy of the total system regardless its size ii) embedding potential, iii) embedded wavefunction B) Weak dependence on the choice for B of the the environment induced shifts of energies of local excitations (intuitions based on results of conventional QM/MM simulations might be misleading!). C) Various computational methods based on FDET are possible differing in: i) approximations for the embedding potential, ii) quantum mechanical descriptor for the embedded system, iii) and choice for B D) We presented a robust FDET based computational procedure applying a few simple system-independent approximations allowing to study environment induced shifts in excitation energies. For shifts in the range from to 2000 cm -1 the error in the 100 cm -1 range.
