Accurate Isomerization Enthalpy and Investigation of the Errors in Density Functional Theory for DHA/VHF Photochromism Using Diffusion Monte Carlo

We investigate the isomerization enthalpy of the dihydroazulene/vinylheptafulvene (DHA/VHF) molecular photoswitch system derivatives using electronic structure calculation methods including density functional theory (DFT), quantum Monte Carlo (QMC), and coupled cluster (CCSD(T)). Recent efforts have...
