摘要
Unexpected failures of the popular time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) method for the pi --> pi* excited A A states (see figure) of large aromatic molecules are reported. A very probable reason for this behaviour is the underestimated interaction of important ionic components in the corresponding L-a-state wavefunctions with current standard functionals.
