Diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations for transition metal (M) porphyrin complexes (MPo, M=Ni,Cu,Zn) are reported. We calculate the binding energies of the transition metal atoms to the porphin molecule. Our DMC results are in reasonable agreement with those obtained from density functional theory calculations using the B3LYP hybrid exchange-correlation functional. Our study shows that such calculations are feasible with the DMC method.
报道了对过渡金属（M）卟啉配合物（MPo，M = Ni、Cu、Zn）的扩散量子蒙特卡罗（DMC）计算。我们计算了过渡金属原子与卟吩分子的结合能。我们的DMC结果与使用B3LYP杂化交换关联泛函从密度泛函理论计算中获得的结果合理吻合。我们的研究表明，用DMC方法进行此类计算是可行的。
