Abstract

Both direct exchange and super-exchange interactions cooperate to realize inter-spin magnetic interaction in binuclear manganese complex Mn(IV)2 O2 (NHCHCO2 )4 with a di-μ-oxo path. We revisited this spin system using DMRG CAS methods and CAS selection procedures. Our results indicate that our previous "dynamically extended spin polarization" (DE-SP) procedure for organic polyradicals and so forth does not work well. Thus, we have examined another selection procedure, the "dynamically extended super-exchange" (DE-SE) procedure. DMRG CASCI [18,18] by UB3LYP(HS)-UNO(DE-SE) can realize antiferromagnetic J values similar to experimental ones (-87 cm-1 ). In addition, all J values between all spin states (HS[septet],IS[quintet],IS[triplet],LS[singlet])were also shown to be correct under sufficiently large M values. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
