In this paper we first describe the multi-configuration self-consistent field method with configuration interaction (MCSCF-CI) which is a variational method most suitable for strongly-correlated cluster systems. Then the calculated results of CuO 6 cluster embedded in hole-doped La 2-x Sr x CuO 4 and of CuO 4 cluster in the electron-doped Nd 2-x Ce x CuO 4 are reviewed. Finally the calculated results on the electronic structure of CuO 5 pyramid embedded in the insulating YBa 2 Cu 3 O 6 and superconducting YBa2Cu3O7 are newly presented. In the latter case we will clarify an important role of the Cu-O chain in the electronic and superconducting state of YBa2Cu3O7 .

We present a first principles approach for decomposing molecular linear response properties into orthogonal (additive) plus non-orthogonal/cooperative contributions. This approach enables one to 1) identify the contributions of molecular building blocks like functional groups or monomer units to a given response property and 2) quantify cooperativity between these contributions. In analogy to the self consistent field method for molecular interactions, SCF(MI), we term our approach LR(MI). The theory, implementation and pilot data are described in detail in the manuscript and supporting information.

<p>Quantitatively accurate calculations for spin state ordering in transition-metal complexes typically demand a robust multiconfigurational treatment. The poor scaling of such methods with increasing size makes them impractical for large, strongly correlated systems. Density matrix embedding theory (DMET) is a fragmentation approach that can be used to specifically address this challenge. The single-determinantal bath framework of DMET is applicable in many situations, but it has been shown to perform poorly for molecules characterized by strong correlation when a multiconfigurational self-consistent field solver is used. To ameliorate this problem, the localized active space self-consistent field (LASSCF) method was recently described. In this work, LASSCF is applied to predict spin state energetics in mono- and di-iron systems and we show that the model offers an accuracy equivalent to CASSCF but at a substantially lower computational cost. Performance as a function of basis set and active space is also examined.<br></p>
