Consequently, researchers are often bound to use lower-level electronic structure methods such as density functional theory or second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation theory (MP2). Here, we demonstrate on a representative example that gold-standard potentials can now be effectively constructed for molecules of 15 atoms using off-the-shelf hardware. This is achieved by accelerating the CCSD(T) computations via the accurate and cost-effective frozen natural orbital (FNO) approach. The Δ-machine learning (Δ-ML) approach is employed with the use of permutationally invariant polynomials to fit a full-dimensional potential energy surface of the acetylacetone molecule, but any other effective descriptor and ML approach can similarly benefit from the accelerated data generation proposed here. Our benchmarks for the global minima, H-transfer TS, and many high-lying configurations show the excellent agreement of FNO-CCSD(T) results with conventional CCSD(T) while achieving a significant time advantage of about a factor of 30–40. The obtained Δ-ML PES shows high fidelity from multiple perspectives including energetic, structural, and vibrational properties. We obtain the symmetric double well H-transfer barrier of 3.15 kcal/mol in excellent agreement with the direct FNO-CCSD(T) barrier of 3.11 kcal/mol as well as with the benchmark CCSD(F12*)(T+)/CBS value of 3.21 kcal/mol. Furthermore, the tunneling splitting due to H-atom transfer is calculated using a 1D double-well potential, providing improved estimates over previous ones obtained using an MP2-based PES. The methodology introduced here represents a significant advancement in the efficient and precise construction of potentials at the CCSD(T) level for molecules above the current limit of 15 atoms.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72302,"journal":{"name":"Artificial intelligence chemistry","volume":"2 1","pages":"Article 100036"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949747723000362/pdfft?md5=c6666f5fcbc3a2bf27c6aae23a604aaf&pid=1-s2.0-S2949747723000362-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138991782","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Noise in energies and forces can result from aleatoric and epistemic errors in the quantum chemical reference calculations. Statistical (aleatoric) noise arises for example due to the need to set convergence thresholds in the self consistent field (SCF) iterations whereas systematic (epistemic) noise is due to, <em>i</em>nter alia, particular choices of basis sets in the calculations. The two molecules considered here as proxies are H<sub>2</sub>CO and HONO which are examples for single- and multi-reference problems, respectively, for geometries around the minimum energy structure. For H<sub>2</sub>CO it is found that adding noise to energies and forces with magnitudes representative of single-point calculations does not deteriorate the quality of the final PESs whereas increasing the noise level commensurate with electronic structure calculations for more complicated, e.g. metal-containing, systems is expected to have a more notable effect. On the other hand, for HONO which requires a multi-reference treatment, a clear correlation between model quality and the degree of multi-reference character as measured by the <em>T</em><sub>1</sub> amplitude is found. It is concluded that for chemically “simple” cases the effect of aleatoric and epistemic errors is manageable without evident deterioration of the trained model, but more care needs to be exercised for situations in which multi-reference effects are present.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72302,"journal":{"name":"Artificial intelligence chemistry","volume":"2 1","pages":"Article 100033"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949747723000337/pdfft?md5=391098ccf3759b129948054b61d9af08&pid=1-s2.0-S2949747723000337-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138611496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
