Abstract
The state-averaged multiconfiguration self-consistent field (MCSCF)
method was implemented to the reference interaction site model and
three-dimensional reference interaction site model (RISM and 3D-RISM)
SCF schemes, where the electronic structures of multiple states and
solvation structure are determined simultaneously by the
state-averaged MCSCF method and state-specific RISM-SCF/3D-RISM-SCF
scheme, respectively, in a single calculation. The method was applied
to the potential energy curves of the low-lying states of NaCl in
aqueous solution and solvation shifts of the excitation energy of
formaldehyde and p-nitroaniline. The results showed good agreement
with those of the state-specific MCSCF and/or experiments.
