Benchmarking Electronic-Structure Methods for the Description of Dark Transitions in Carbonyls at and Beyond the Franck–Condon Point Herein, we propose a comprehensive benchmark of electronic-structure methods to describe dark transitions, that is, transitions to excited electronic states characterized by a near-zero oscillator str...

Discover how well electronic-structure methods perform to describe dark transitions for atmospheric molecules! Our recent work, led by @danielhollas.bsky.social, tests them in the Franck-Condon region and beyond! #compchem @pubs.acs.org @bristoluni.bsky.social doi.org/10.1021/acs....

Selecting Initial Conditions for Trajectory-Based Nonadiabatic Simulations ConspectusPhotochemical reactions have always been the source of a great deal of mystery. While classified as a type of chemical reaction, no doubts are allowed that the general tenets of ground-state...

How far can nonadiabatic simulations go with proper initial state sampling? We comment on the strategies in the recent Accounts of Chemical Research paper
