The pith
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
The reading
What carries the argument
The load-bearing object is the orbital entanglement analysis built from one-orbital entropies $s_i$ and pairwise mutual information $I_{i,j}$ computed from the correlated wavefunction. The paper computes these quantities with DMRG for small active spaces (valence $d$, $\sigma$, $\sigma^*$, and $s$ orbitals only) and large active spaces that also contain the second $d$-shell orbitals $d'$, and reads the change between the two as the signature of the double $d$-shell effect. Magnitude thresholds from earlier work—one-orbital entropy above about 0.5 with large mutual information indicating non-dynamic correlation, 0.1–0.5 with moderate mutual information indicating static correlation, and small values indicating dynamic correlation—turn the raw entropies into statements about correlation type.
What would settle it
A near-exact FCI-quality calculation of NiO in a basis large enough to describe both the 4s and d′ radial functions would settle it: if the 4s–σ* mutual information remains near 0.25 rather than falling to about 0.07 when the d′ shell is present, the central diagnostic claim fails; a larger-basis CrH calculation would test the transferability assumption.
Extended reading notes
Core claim
The central claim is that the second $d$-shell effect has a characteristic information-entropy signature: a valence-only active space overestimates the quantum mutual information between the $4s$ and $\sigma^*$ orbitals of late $3d$ oxides, and including the $d'$ orbitals rebalances it. For NiO the $4s$–$\sigma^*$ mutual information falls from 0.25 to 0.07 with the $d'$ shell added, and similar but weaker rebalancing appears in FeO and CoO; the $4d$ analogues RuO, RhO, and PdO show much smaller changes. In early hydrides such as CrH, the $d$–$d'$ interactions are moderate and appear to mediate both static and dynamic correlation, although a smaller-basis DMRG-FCI reference calculation makes the authors cautious about classifying the $3d$–$3d'$ interaction as nondynamic. The paper concludes that simple rules for adding $d'$ orbitals will not work universally, and that orbital entanglement entropy can help decide case-by-case whether an active space is balanced.
Load-bearing premise
The qualitative classification of one-orbital entropy and mutual-information magnitudes into static, dynamic, and non-dynamic correlation regimes is assumed to transfer from earlier literature to these 3d/4d hydrides and oxides, and the CrH conclusion about 3d–3d' interactions relies on a smaller-basis DMRG-FCI calculation whose transferability to the larger-basis results is assumed.
Editorial extensions
If this is right
- Valence-only active spaces for late 3d oxides systematically overestimate 4s–σ* entanglement, so property calculations built on them carry an unbalanced static/dynamic mix.
- Adding the d′ orbitals moves CASPT2 vibrational frequencies toward experimental values for the oxides, as seen for FeO, CoO, and NiO.
- The d′ effect is not uniform: early hydrides like CrH show moderate, mixed static-and-dynamic d–d′ interactions rather than a simple nondynamic channel.
- Entanglement entropy can serve as a practical diagnostic for active-space balance, supporting case-by-case decisions on whether the d′ shell is needed.
Reading between the lines
- The same entropy-based comparison could be applied to excited states or spin-crossover systems, where the d′ shell is suspected to matter but no entanglement data exists.
- Automated active-space selection methods that score orbitals by entanglement would likely need to include d′ orbitals explicitly, or they may systematically under-rank them for late 3d oxides.
- The NiO drop from 0.25 to 0.07 suggests a rough empirical rule of thumb: a valence-only late-3d-oxide calculation showing 4s–σ* mutual information near 0.25 should trigger suspicion that d′ is required.
- If the CrH DMRG-FCI result generalizes, d–d′ interactions are not purely nondynamic, which would complicate multireference perturbation corrections that assume a single correlation regime.

Referee Report
Summary. The paper studies the double d-shell (second d-shell) effect in a series of 3d and 4d transition metal hydrides and oxides by comparing active spaces with and without the d' orbitals. Using CASSCF and CASPT2 for geometries and frequencies, and DMRG with M=1000 for near-exact active-space wavefunctions, the authors compute one-orbital entropies and mutual information. They report that adding d' orbitals changes vibrational frequencies and Mulliken charges, that one-orbital entropies of the 3d orbitals are underestimated in the smaller active spaces, and that for late 3d oxides such as NiO the small active space strongly overestimates the 4s-sigma* mutual information (0.245 vs 0.073). They also analyze d-d' interactions in CrH and MoH and conclude that the second d-shell modulates both static and dynamic correlation in a system-dependent way.
Significance. If the central claim holds, the paper provides a practical quantum-information diagnostic: orbital entanglement can flag when a valence-only active space is unbalanced, which would be useful for active-space selection in transition metal chemistry. The calculations are performed with standard methods, the active spaces are small enough that the stated DMRG energy errors (about 1e-6 to 1e-4 a.u.) indicate numerical reliability, and the comparison across a periodic 3d/4d series is a genuine strength. The analysis is parameter-free in the sense that no observables are fitted; the entropy classification thresholds are imported from prior literature. The main reservations concern the orbital-basis dependence of the key mutual-information numbers and the unvalidated transfer of entropy-magnitude classifications to these systems.
major comments (3)
- [Sec. III, Fig. 3; Sec. IV, refs. 97-101] The central quantitative result, the reduction of I(4s, sigma*) in NiO from 0.245 to 0.073 upon adding the d' shell, is computed in the converged CASSCF orbital bases of the [14,9] and [14,14] active spaces. These are different optimized orbital sets, so the labels '4s' and 'sigma*' do not denote the same one-electron orbitals in the two calculations; mutual information is not invariant under unitary rotations among active orbitals, as the Discussion itself acknowledges. The statement that the small active space 'overestimates' the 4s-sigma* entanglement is therefore not uniquely defined unless the comparison is made in a common orbital representation. The authors should recompute the entropies for both active spaces in a common localized or natural orbital basis, or provide a rotation-invariant comparison, before drawing the overestimation conclusion.
- [Sec. II, Eq. (1)-(3); Sec. III, Tables II-III] The classification of one-orbital entropy values into non-dynamic (>0.5), static (0.1-0.5), and dynamic (small) correlation regimes is taken from ref. 29 and applied to these 3d/4d hydrides and oxides without re-validation in the present systems. The qualitative conclusions, including the claim that d-d' interactions in CrH are 'likely not nondynamic', depend on these absolute thresholds. The authors should support the threshold transfer with system-specific evidence (e.g., natural occupation numbers, configuration weights, or comparison with a known dissociation curve) or explicitly soften the classification language to avoid over-interpreting small differences in entropy magnitudes.
- [Sec. III, CrH discussion and SI Sec. S4] The conclusion that 3d-3d' interactions in CrH are not nondynamic is based on a DMRG-FCI calculation with a smaller basis, whose reduced mutual information is then used to interpret the larger-basis [7,12] active-space results. Because the FCI calculation uses a different one-electron basis, its entropy values do not automatically transfer to the larger-basis calculation. The authors should either perform the FCI check in the same basis or demonstrate explicitly that the basis change does not affect the reported entropy comparison.
minor comments (4)
- [Sec. II and Fig. 3(d)] The Methods section states that the large active space for the oxides contains 14 orbitals, but Fig. 3(d) and Table I use [14,15] for PdO. Please clarify which active space was used and whether the extra virtual orbital affects the comparability of the PdO results with the other oxides.
- [General] The manuscript repeatedly refers to Supporting Information Tables S1-S7 and Sections S4-S6, but the SI was not included in the submitted version available for review. Please include the SI so that the active-space compositions and the DMRG-FCI details can be checked.
- [Title and Introduction] The notation is inconsistent: the title and most of the text use 'double d-shell' or 'second d-shell', while the abstract and some phrases use 'doubled-shell'. Please unify the terminology.
- [Sec. IV] There are several typographical errors in the Discussion, including 'demonstracted', 'transiton metal', 'correlateld electronic structure', and 'availabe' in Sec. V. These should be corrected in revision.
Circularity Check
No significant circularity: the entropy metrics are computed from first-principles wavefunctions, not fitted to the paper's conclusions.
full rationale
The derivation is self-contained: the paper computes one- and two-orbital reduced density matrix entropies (Eqs. 1-3) directly from converged DMRG/CASSCF wavefunctions, with no fitted parameters and no quantity defined in terms of the target conclusions. The central comparison—mutual information in small versus large active spaces—is a first-principles calculation for each active space; the statement that the small space overestimates 4s–sigma* entanglement is an interpretation of the computed difference, not a parameter fitted to produce it. The entropy magnitude classification (10^-1, 10^-2, 10^-3; one-orbital entropy thresholds) is adopted from Boguslawski et al., an independent prior source, and is not redefined to match the present results. Vibrational-frequency comparisons against experimental values (Table S6) and the approximate DMRG-FCI reference for CrH provide external checks rather than assumed conclusions. The only self-citations (refs. 11 and 96) are illustrative examples in the introduction and discussion and do not carry the derivation. The orbital-basis-dependence concern raised about mutual information is a validity or correctness question about the interpretation, not a circular reduction: the paper does not define 'overestimation' as the difference it computes, nor does it fit the entropy drop. Therefore no circular step is identified.
Assumptions & free parameters
free parameters (1)
- Extra virtual orbitals added to large active spaces for CASSCF stability
assumptions (5)
- standard math Definitions of Shannon one-orbital entropy, two-orbital entropy, and mutual information are valid measures of orbital correlation.
- domain assumption The ANO-RCC-VTZP basis with scalar relativistic corrections provides a qualitatively adequate description of these transition metal diatomics.
- domain assumption DMRG with M=1000 and Fiedler ordering yields wavefunctions whose one- and two-orbital reduced density matrices, and hence entropies, are converged.
- ad hoc to paper The classification of correlation types by entropy magnitude (large >0.5 non-dynamic, moderate 0.1-0.5 static, small dynamic) transfers to these transition metal systems.
- ad hoc to paper The smaller-basis DMRG-FCI calculation for CrH is representative of the larger-basis active space results.

abstract
Accurate modeling of transition metal-containing compounds is of great interest due to their wide-ranging and significant applications. These systems present several challenges from an electronic structure perspective, including significant multi-reference character and many chemically-relevant orbitals. A further complication arises from the so-called double $d$-shell effect, which is known to cause a myriad of issues in the treatment of first-row transition metals with both single- and multi-reference methods. While this effect has been well documented for several decades, a comprehensive understanding of its consequences and underlying causes is still evolving. Here, we characterize the second $d$-shell effect by analyzing the information entropy of correlated wavefunctions in a periodic series of $3d$ and $4d$ transition metal molecular hydrides and oxides. These quantum information techniques provide unique insight into the nuanced electronic structure of these species, and are powerful tools for study of weak and strong correlation in the transition metal $d$ manifold.
