| contents | We present an interface of the wavefunction-based quantum-chemical software CFOUR to the multiscale modeling framework MiMiC. Electrostatic embedding of the quantummechanical (QM) part is achieved by analytic evaluation of one-electron integrals in CFOUR, while the rest of the QM/MM operations are treated according to the previous MiMiC-based QM/MM implementation. Long-range electrostatic interactions are treated by a multipole expansion of the potential from the QM electron density to reduce the computational cost without loss of accuracy. Testing on model water/water systems, we verified that the CFOUR interface to MiMiC is robust, guaranteeing fast convergence of the SCF cycles and optimal conservation of the energy during the integration of the equations of motion. Finally, we verified that the CFOUR interface to MiMiC is compatible with the use of a QM/QM multiple time-step algorithm, which effectively reduces the cost of AIMD or QM/MM-MD simulations using higher level wavefunction-based approaches compared to cheaper density-functional theory based ones. The new wavefunction-based AIMD and QM/MM-MD implementation was tested and validated for a large number of wavefunction approaches, including Hartree-Fock and post-Hartree-Fock methods like Moller-Plesset, coupled cluster, and complete active space self-consistent field. |
