| contents | We present a new implementation of the driven similarity renormalization group (DSRG) based on a density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) reference. The explicit build of high-order reduced density matrices is avoided by forming matrix-product-state compressed intermediates. This algorithm facilitates the application of DSRG second- and third-order perturbation theories to dodecacene with an active space of 50 electrons in 50 orbitals. This active space appears the largest employed to date within the framework of internally contracted multireference formalism. The DMRG-DSRG approach is applied to several challenging systems, including the singlet-triplet gaps ($Δ_{\rm ST}$) of oligoacenes ranging from naphthalene to dodecacene, the vertical excitation energies of zeaxanthin, and the ground-state potential energy curve (PEC) of Cr$_2$ molecule. Our best estimate for the vertical $Δ_{\rm ST}$ of dodecacene is 0.22 eV, showing an excellent agreement with that of the linearized adiabatic connection method (0.24 eV). For zeaxanthin, all DSRG schemes suggest the order of $\rm 2\, ^1 A_g^- < 1\, ^1 B_u^+ < 1\, ^1 B_u^-$ for excited states. Both the equilibrium and the shoulder regions of the Cr$_2$ PEC are reasonably reproduced by the linearized DSRG with one- and two-body operators. |
