Title: Time-Dependent Complete Active Space Embedded in a Polarizable Force Field

Journal Article · · Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation

Electron correlation and environmental effects play important roles in electron dynamics and spectroscopic observables of chemical systems in condensed phase. In this paper, we present a time-dependent complete active space configuration interaction (TD-CASCI) approach embedded in a polarizable force field, MMPol. The present implementation of TD-CASCI/MMPol utilizes a direct matrix-vector contraction, allowing studies of large systems. This scheme is used to study the solvatochromic shift of coumarin 153 in methanol. The TD-CASCI/MMPol approach captures the double excitation character in the excited state wave function and accurately predicts the solvatochromic red-shift of coumarin 153 dye within the experimental range, outperforming linear response time-dependent density functional theory. The effect of using different reference orbitals for the TD-CASCI/MMPol simulation is also investigated, highlighting the need for an unbiased treatment of all electronic states in the energy range of interest.
