Abstract
The incorporation of a two-component transformation into the
contraction coefficients of basis functions is suggested. Such a
contraction, referred to as "two-component transformation inclusive
contraction (TIC)", effectively eliminates the computational cost
associated with the two-component transformation and can be readily
implemented into conventional quantum chemistry programs. TIC was
verified through numerical calculations using the second- and
third-order unitarized Douglas–Kroll method, which is newly
derived for the validation of TIC, and the infinite-order
two-component method. The numerical validation results suggested that
TIC could sufficiently reproduce the results of primitive basis sets
for both atoms and molecules.
