contents We present a novel and efficient implementation of coupled-cluster with singles and doubles (CCSD) analytic gradients that combines the Cholesky decomposition (CD) of electron-repulsion integrals with the exploitation of Abelian point-group symmetry. This approach is particularly effective for medium-sized and large symmetric molecular systems. The CD of two-electron integrals is performed using a symmetry-adapted two-step algorithm, while the derivatives of the Cholesky vectors are computed with respect to symmetry-adapted nuclear displacements and contracted on-the-fly with the CCSD density matrices. Geometry optimizations of symmetric systems with several hundreds of basis functions have been carried out to assess the efficiency of our implementation and to quantify the computational gain provided by the exploitation of point-group symmetry.
