Abstract
We present a novel approach that combines numerical quadrature with density fitting and CABS-RI for the evaluation of exchange-type intermediates in RI-MP2-F12 theory, rigorously reducing the formal and practical scaling of the total correction from O(M5) to O(M4) . Our new hybrid NQ/DF/CABS-RI ansatz is based directly on our previously developed NQ/CABS-RI method for the efficient evaluation of 6c3e integrals [Urban, L.; Laqua, H; Thompson, T. H.; Ochsenfeld, C. J. Chem. Theory Comput. 2024, 20, 3706–3718] and extends this approach to the optimized computation of products of 4c2e integrals. In this framework, the main exchange-type intermediates V , X , and B are reformulated, resulting in more compact expressions, increased shared computations, and fewer CABS-RI insertions. We introduce efficient algorithms that cover all exchange-type contributions, including advantageous…
