The Resolution of the Identity (RI) technique has been employed to enhance the computational efficiency of Range-Separated (RS) exchange-correlation (xc-) functionals at the time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) level using the Hybrid Diagonal Approximation. RI has been implemented within the polTDDFT algorithm (a complex damped polarization method) as part of the AMS/ADF program suite. Comparison between the present TDDFT simulations and the Casida algorithm, for both the model ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene charge-transfer system and the experimental photoabsorption spectrum of a large donor-acceptor-acceptor triad, demonstrates the method's excellent accuracy and efficiency. The present method provides a reliable and computationally efficient tool to predict photoabsorption spectra in the presence of charge-transfer transitions and is suitable for applications to large systems with sizes up to several hundred atoms.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
