Level of theory DFT-B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p)
Convolution FWHM / meV 30
0-0 transition / eV 7.391 eV
Comments The theoretical origin was actually at 7.078 eV. For the simulation, the origin was shifted to the observed adiabatic ionization energy value of 7.391 eV. The "tight" convergence criteria and "ultrafine" integration grid implemented in Gaussian 16 were applied to optimize the geometries of the ground and excited states. The band positions with respect to the origin correspond to harmonic vibrational frequencies in the excited state, with no scaling applied. The combinations of up to four vibrational quanta were taken into account to describe the ground state.
