Abstract
Determining conical intersection geometries is of key importance to understanding the photochemical reactivity of molecules. While many small to medium-sized molecules can be treated accurately using multireference approaches, larger molecules require a less computationally demanding approach. In this work, minimum energy crossing point conical intersection geometries for a series of molecules has been studied using spin-flip TDDFT (SF-TDDFT), within the Tamm-Dancoff Approximaton, both with and without explicit calculation of non-adiabatic coupling terms, and compared with both XMS-CASPT2 and CASSCF calculated geometries. The less-computationally demanding algorithms, which do not require explicit calculation of the non-adiabatic coupling terms, generally fare well with the XMS-CASPT2 reference structures, while the relative energetics are only reasonably replicated with the MECP structure calculated with the BHHLYP functional and full non-adiabatic coupling terms. We also demonstrate that, occasionally, CASSCF structures deviate quantitatively from the XMS-CASPT2 structures, showing the importance of including dynamical correlation.
