A simple, practical quantum chemical procedure is presented for computing the energy position and the decay width of autoionization resonances. It combines theL2-stabilized resonance wave function obtained using the real-valued continuum-remover (CR) potential [Y. SajeevChem. Phys. Lett.2013,587, 105–112] and the Feshbach projection operator (FPO) partitioning technique. Unlike the conventional FPO partitioning of the total wave function into its resonantspaceand backgroundspacecomponents, an explicit partitioning of the total wave function into its interaction region and noninteraction region components is obtained with the help of real-valued continuum-remover potential. The molecular system is initially confined inside a CR potential which removes the electronic continuum of the molecular system in which its resonance state is embedded and, thus, unravels thespacecomponent of the resonance wave function as a bound, localized eigenstate of the confined system. The eigenfunctions of the molecular Hamiltonian represented in thespaceconstitute a complementary, orthogonalspace. A uniquepartition is obtained when the level-shift of thespacefunction due to its coupling with thespaceis zero, and the resonance width is computed using these unique partitioned spaces. This new procedure, which we refer to as CR-FPO formalism, is formally very simple and straightforward to implement, yet its applications to the resonance state of a model Hamiltonian and to the doubly excited resonance states of atomic and molecular systems at the full-CI level are very accurate as compared to the alternative, very preciseL2methods. In addition, the CR-FPO formalism is implemented in the multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) method, and uses it for calculating the energy position and the autionization decay width of2Πgshape resonance inN2–.
