Summary: Accuracy of RPA linear response calculations |
Dear CCLers,
I would like to thank everyone who responded to my question:

As far as the review papers go I would to thank Mark Thompson and Geoff
Hutchison for pointing me to
Accurate Prediction of Band Gaps in Neutral Heterocyclic Conjugated
Polymers
Geoffrey R. Hutchison, Mark A. Ratner and Tobin J. Marks
J. Phys. Chem. A (2002) 106(44) p. 10596-10605.
the paper compares ZINDO/RPA, HF/RPA and TDDFT/RPA (among other
methods) on 60 conjugated organics using AM1 and DFT geometries .
Best wishes,
Huub
