There are numerous publications on benchmarking quantum chemistry methods for excited states. These studies rarely include Charge Transfer (CT) states although many interesting phenomena in e.g. biochemistry and material physics involve transfer of electron between fragments of the system. Therefore, it is timely to test the accuracy of quantum chemical methods for CT states, as well. In this study we first suggest a set benchmark systems consisting of dimers having low-energy CT states. On this set, the excitation energy has been calculated with coupled cluster methods including triple excitations (CC3, CCSDT-3, CCSD(T)(a)* ), as well as with methods including full or approximate doubles (CCSD, STEOM-CCSD, CC2, ADC(2), EOM-CCSD(2)). The results show that the popular CC2 and ADC(2) methods are much more inaccurate for CT states than for valence states. On the other hand, CCSD seems to have similar systematic overestimation of the excitation energies for both valence and CT states. Concerning triples methods, the new CCSD(T)(a)* method including non-iterative triple excitations preforms very well for all type of states, delivering essentially CCSDT quality results.<br>

Abstract Rhenium(I)-carbonyl-diimine complexes are promising photocatalysts for CO2 reduction. Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) can be perfect sensitizers to enhance the reduction activities. Here we investigated the excited state dynamics of COF (TpBpy) with 2,2'-bipyridine incorporating Re(CO)5Cl (Re-TpBpy) to rationalize the underlying mechanism. The time-dependent DFT calculation first clarified excited state structure of the hybrid catalyst. The studies from transient visible and infrared spectroscopies revealed the excitation energy-dependent photo-induced charge transfer pathways in Re-TpBpy. Under low energy excitation, the electrons at the LUMO level are quickly injected from Bpy into ReI center (1–2 ps) followed by backward recombination (13 ps). Under high energy excitation, the hot-electrons are first injected into the higher unoccupied level of ReI center (1–2 ps) and then slowly relax back to the HOMO in COF (24 ps). There also remains long-lived free electrons in the COF moiety. This explained the excitation energy-dependent CO2 reduction performance in our system.
