Absorption and emission spectra of 8-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl–BODIPY have been calculated using Coupled Cluster (CC) approaches, Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) and a QM-informed MM approach. In the case of TD-DFT calculations solvent effects were included using the linear-response (LR), corrected linear response (cLR) and state specific (SS) Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM). We show that range-separated functionals give results in reasonable agreement with coupled cluster methods but both tend to overestimate excitation energies. Furthermore, we show that the SS-PCM approach is unable to provide a quantitative description of solvent effects in these systems, especially for the highly challenging charge-separated charge-transfer state. In contrast, the QM-informed MM approach gives results in good agreement with experiment and we propose a scheme which can be used to directly compare theoretically obtained spectra with experimental ones.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
