A State-Specific Pcm Td-Dft Method For Equilibrium And Non-Equilibrium Excited State Calculations In Solution
An effective state specific (SS) model for the inclusion of solvent effects in time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) computations of excited electronic states has been developed and coded in the framework of the so-called polarizable continuum model (PCM). Different relaxation time regimes can be treated thus giving access to a number of different spectroscopic properties together with solvent relaxation energies of paramount relevance in electron transfer processes. SS and conventional linear response (LR) models have been compared for two benchmark systems (coumarin 153 and formaldehyde in different solvents) and in the limiting simple case of a dipolar solute embedded in a spherical cavity. The results point out the complementarity of LR and SS approaches and the advantages of the latter model especially for polar solvents. The favorable scaling properties of PCM-TD-DFT models in both SS and LR variants and their availability in effective quantum mechanical codes pave the route for the computation of reliable spectroscopic properties of large molecules of technological and/or biological interest in their natural environments.
