ABSTRACT
The X-ray absorption spectra of aqueous ammonia and ammonium are computed using a combination of coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) with different quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical embedding schemes. Specifically, we compare frozen Hartree-Fock (HF) density embedding, polarizable embedding (PE), and polarizable density embedding (PDE). Integrating CCSD with frozen HF density embedding is possible within the CC-in-HF framework, which circumvents the conventional system-size limitations of standard coupled cluster methods. We reveal similarities between PDE and frozen HF density descriptions, while PE spectra differ significantly. By including approximate triple excitations, we also investigate the effect of improving the electronic structure theory. The spectra computed using this approach show an improved intensity ratio compared to CCSD-in-HF. Charge transfer analysis of the excitations shows the local character of the pre-edge and main-edge, while the post-edge is formed by excitations delocalized over the first solvation shell and beyond.
