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.

<p>We present a benchmark study of the performance of various recently presented EOM-pCCD-based methods to model ground and excited state properties of a set of f0 actinide species that feature different types of electronic excitations, like local excitations or charge transfer. Our data suggests that the recently developed EOM-pCCD-LCCSD method outperforms conventional approaches like EOM-CCSD reducing the standard error by a factor of 2 (to 0.25 eV). Thus, EOM-pCCD-LCCSD can be considered as an alternative to model excited states in challenging systems, especially those who feature a double electron transfer for which EOM-CCSD typically fails.</p>

Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectroscopy can be used to identify different isomers in complicated mixtures of many molecules. In this work, calculated VUV spectra are compared with spectra of experimental mixtures to benchmark appropriate computational methods. Because the benchmark molecule, 1-bromo-1-propene, contains a heavy atom, both all-electron and model core potential basis sets were investigated. Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) can accurately compute electronic excited states at low-energy excitations and was cross-checked at higher energies against results from the symmetry adapted cluster–configuration interaction (SAC–CI) method. TD-DFT was determined to be satisfactory at low energies; however, excitation energies can deviate by 0.5 eV at high energies. TD-DFT with both all-electron and model core potential basis sets produced satisfactory excitation energies for the lower excited states. This method is also satisfactory at predicting spectra produced experimentally, including a mixture of isomers (cis- and trans-1-bromo-1-propene), with the exception of underestimating oscillator strength.

In a recent paper of this Journal (Tajti and Szalay, JCTC 2019, 15, 5523) we have shown that failures of the CC2 method to describe Rydberg excited states, as well as potential energy surfaces of certain valence excited states can be cured by spin-component scaled (SCS) versions SCS-CC2 and SOS-CC2 by a large extent. In this paper, the related and popular Second Order Algebraic Diagrammatic Construction (ADC(2)) method and its SCS variants are inspected with the previously established methodology. The results reflect the similarity of the CC2 and ADC(2) models, showing identical problems in the case of the canonical form and the same improvement when spin-component-scaling is applied.

The present benchmark calculations testify to the validity of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) when exploring the low-lying excited states potential energy surfaces of models of phenylalanine protein chains. Among three functionals suitable for systems exhibiting charge-transfer excited states, LC-ωPBE, CAM-B3LYP, and ωB97X-D, which were tested on a reference peptide system, we selected the ωB97X-D functional, which gave the best results compared to the approximate coupled-cluster singles and doubles (CC2) method. A quantitative agreement for both the geometrical parameters and the vibrational frequencies was obtained for the lowest singlet excited state (a ππ* state) of the series of capped peptides. In contrast, only a qualitative agreement was met for the corresponding adiabatic zero-point vibrational energy (ZPVE)-corrected excitation energies. Two composite protocols combining CC2 and DFT/TD-DFT methods were then developed to improve these calculations. Both protocols substantially reduced the error compared to CC2 and experiment, and the best of both even led to results of CC2 quality at a lower cost, thus providing a reliable alternative to this method for very large systems.
