Abstract

We present an implementation of the Frenkel exciton model into the OpenMolcas program package enabling calculations of collective electronic excited states of molecular aggregates based on a multiconfigurational wave function description of the individual monomers. The computational protocol avoids using diabatization schemes and, thus, supermolecule calculations. Additionally, the use of the Cholesky decomposition of the twoelectron integrals entering pair interactions enhances the efficiency of the computational scheme. The application of the method is exemplified for two test systems, that is, a formaldehyde oxime and a bacteriochlorophyll-like dimer. For the sake of comparison with the dipole approximation, we restrict our considerations to situations where intermonomer exchange can be neglected. The protocol is expected to be beneficial for aggregates composed of molecules with extended pi systems, unpaired electrons such as radicals or transition metal centers, where it should outperform widely used methods based on time-dependent density functional theory.
