<p>We thoroughly benchmark time-dependent density- functional theory for the predictive calculation of UV/Vis spectra of porphyrin derivatives. With the aim to provide an approach that is computationally feasible for large-scale applications such as biological systems or molecular framework materials, albeit performing with high accuracy for the Q-bands, we compare the results given by various computational protocols, including basis sets, density-functionals (including gradient corrected local functionals, hybrids, double hybrids and range-separated functionals), and various variants of time-dependent density-functional theory, including the simplified Tamm-Dancoff approximation. An excellent choice for these calculations is the range-separated functional CAM-B3LYP in combination with the simplified Tamm-Dancoff approximation and a basis set of double-ζ quality def2-SVP (mean absolute error [MAE] of ~0.05 eV). This is not surpassed by more expensive approaches, not even by double hybrid functionals, and solely systematic excitation energy scaling slightly improves the results (MAE ~0.04 eV). </p>

ABSTRACTWe study tile optical absorption spectra of Na clusters using the time-dependent density-functional theory with gradient correction. A jellium-sphere background model, which is free from basis-set incompleteness error and is suitable for the comparison of various theoretical methods, is adopted. For energies of surface-plasinon excitations governing profiles of photoabsorption spectra with huge oscillator strengths., the gradient correction by van Leeiiwen and Baerends with correct asymptotic behavior of the effective potential is found to show considerable improvement over the time-dependent local-density approximation.
