The influence of the (η6-arene)2M (M = Cr, V, Cr+) composition on parameters of intravalency and Rydberg transitions is explained on the basis of time-dependent DFT.
The excitation energies of 13 BODIPY dye sensitizers are benchmarked by means of TD-DFT, using 36 functionals. Spin-component-scaled double-hybrid (DSD) functionals are found to show the best performance.
