Truncation of orbital subspaces in TD-DFT yields an accurate description RIXS spectra for soft X-ray K-edges.

UV-vis optical absorption spectra of the antitrypanocidal drug benznidazole solvated in water were measured for various concentrations. The spectra show a prominent peak around 3.80 eV, while deconvolution of the UV-vis optical absorption spectra revealed six bands centered at 3.60, 3.83, 4.15, 4.99, 5.60, and 5.76 eV. Benznidazole electronic transitions were obtained after density functional t...

We use a combination of Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) and approximate Coupled Cluster Theory (RI-CC2) to compare trends in the optical gap and fluorescence energies of ortho-, meta- and para-oligomers of phenylene. We find that RI-CC2 and TD-DFT calculations using three different commonly employed XC-potentials (B3LYP, BHLYP and CAM-B3LYP) generally give consistent predictio...

Donor-acceptor Stenhouse adducts (DASAs) are a very recent class of organic photoswitches that combine excellent properties, such as color and polarity change, a large structural modification, and excellent fatigue resistance. Despite their potential applications in different fields, very few studies have focused on rationalizing their electronic structure properties. Here, by means of differen...

The photophysics (spectral positions, band shapes, fluorescence quantum yields and lifetimes) of a series of fluorinated ladder type quaterphenyls L4P and L4P-Fn (n = 2, 4, 6) depend strongly on the degree and position of fluorine, despite the fact that substitution is not performed in the rings but only in methylene-bridges. This is driven by subtle differences in the molecular orbitals (MOs) ...

We calculate the optical absorption spectra of low-energy uncapped zinc sulfide nanostructures found by global optimisation (basin-hopping/simulated annealing) using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and compare the results with experimental spectra. We predict that for all nanostructures studied the lowest excited state found by TD-DFT corresponds to an exciton with an exciton ...

Extensive Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) calculations have been carried out in order to obtain a statistically meaningful analysis of the merits of a large number of functionals. To reach this goal, a very extended set of molecules (∼500 compounds, >700 excited states) covering a broad range of (bio)organic molecules and dyes have been investigated. Likewise, 29 functionals i...

Quantum chemistry calculations have been performed to compute the optimized geometries, vibrational frequencies, and Mulliken Charges at B3LYP/6-31G(d) and B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) levels for 3-(4-fluorophenyl)thiophene (FPT), 3-(4-nitrophenyl)thiophene (NPT) and 3-(4-cyanophenyl) thiophene (CPT) in the ground state. In addition, the (13)C and (1)H NMR are calculated by B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) and B3LYP...
