The presence of solvent tunes many properties of a molecule, such as its ground and excited state geometry, dipole moment, excitation energy, and absorption spectrum. Because the energy of the system will vary depending on the solvent configuration, explicit solute-solvent interactions are key to understanding solution-phase reactivity and spectroscopy, simulating accurate inhomogeneous broadening, and predicting absorption spectra. In this tutorial review, we give an overview of factors to consider when modeling excited states of molecules interacting with explicit solvent. We provide practical guidelines for sampling solute-solvent configurations, choosing a solvent model, performing the excited state electronic structure calculations, and computing spectral lineshapes. We also present our recent results combining the vertical excitation energies computed from an ensemble of solute-solvent configurations with the vibronic spectra obtained from a small number of frozen solvent configurations, resulting in improved simulation of absorption spectra for molecules in solution.

We combine experimental and theoretical approaches to explore excited rotational states of molecules embedded in helium nanodroplets using CS$_2$ and I$_2$ as examples. Laser-induced nonadiabatic molecular alignment is employed to measure spectral li
nes for rotational states extending beyond those initially populated at the 0.37 K droplet temperature. We construct a simple quantum mechanical model, based on a linear rotor coupled to a single-mode bosonic bath, to determine the rotational energy structure in its entirety. The calculated and measured spectral lines are in good agreement. We show that the effect of the surrounding superfluid on molecular rotation can be rationalized by a single quantity -- the angular momentum, transferred from the molecule to the droplet.
This paper reports an implementation of Hartree-Fock linear response with complex orbitals for computing electronic spectra of molecules in a strong external magnetic fields. The implementation is completely general, allowing for spin-restricted, spi
n-unrestricted, and general two-component reference states. The method is applied to small molecules placed in strong uniform and non-uniform magnetic fields of astrochemical importance at the Random Phase Approximation level of theory. For uniform fields, where comparison is possible, the spectra are found to be qualitatively similar to those recently obtained with equation of motion coupled cluster theory. We also study the behaviour of spin-forbidden excitations with progressive loss of spin symmetry induced by non-uniform magnetic fields. Finally, the equivalence of length and velocity gauges for oscillator strengths when using complex orbitals is investigated and found to hold numerically.
We present a linear-response formulation of density cumulant theory (DCT) that provides a balanced and accurate description of many electronic states simultaneously. In the original DCT formulation, only information about a single electronic state (u
sually, the ground state) is obtained. We discuss the derivation of linear-response DCT, present its implementation for the ODC-12 method (LR-ODC-12), and benchmark its performance for excitation energies in small molecules (N$_2$, CO, HCN, HNC, C$_2$H$_2$, and H$_2$CO), as well as challenging excited states in ethylene, butadiene, and hexatriene. For small molecules, LR-ODC-12 shows smaller mean absolute errors in excitation energies than equation-of-motion coupled cluster theory with single and double excitations (EOM-CCSD), relative to the reference data from EOM-CCSDT. In a study of butadiene and hexatriene, LR-ODC-12 correctly describes the relative energies of the singly-excited $1^1mathrm{B_{u}}$ and the doubly-excited $2^1mathrm{A_{g}}$ states, in excellent agreement with highly accurate semistochastic heat-bath configuration interaction results, while EOM-CCSD overestimates the energy of the $2^1mathrm{A_{g}}$ state by almost 1 eV. Our results demonstrate that linear-response DCT is a promising theoretical approach for excited states of molecules.
We investigate ultrafast dynamics of the lowest singlet excited electronic state in liquid nitrobenzene using Ultrafast Transient Polarization Spectroscopy (UTPS), extending the well-known technique of Optical-Kerr Effect (OKE) spectroscopy to excite
d electronic states. The third-order non-linear response of the excited molecular ensemble is highly sensitive to details of excited state character and geometries and is measured using two femtosecond pulses following a third femtosecond pulse that populates the S1 excited state. By measuring this response as a function of time delays between the three pulses involved, we extract the dephasing time of the wave-packet on the excited state. The dephasing time measured as a function of time-delay after pump excitation shows oscillations indicating oscillatory wave-packet dynamics on the excited state. From the experimental measurements and supporting theoretical calculations, we deduce that the wave-packet completely leaves the S1 state surface after three traversals of the inter-system crossing between the singlet S1 and triplet T2 states.
Two numerical methods are used to evaluate the relativistic spectrum of the two-centre Coulomb problem (for the $H_{2}^{+}$ and $Th_{2}^{179+}$ diatomic molecules) in the fixed nuclei approximation by solving the single particle time-independent Dira
c equation. The first one is based on a min-max principle and uses a two-spinor formulation as a starting point. The second one is the Rayleigh-Ritz variational method combined with kinematically balanced basis functions. Both methods use a B-spline basis function expansion. We show that accurate results can be obtained with both methods and that no spurious states appear in the discretization process.
