New Insight into the Ground State of FePc: A Diffusion Monte Carlo Study

Abstract We have applied DMC to evaluate relative stability of the possible electronic configurations of an isolated FePc under D 4h symmetry, considering some fixed nodes generated from different methods. They predict A 2g ground state consistently, supporting preceding DFT studies, with confidence...
