The UV/visible spectra of a series of indigo derivatives have been evaluated by using ab initio methods. The combination of the Polarizable continuum model for estimating bulk solvent effects with the TD-B3LYP/6-311+G(2d,p)//B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level of approximation, leads to an accurate description of the wavelength of maximum absorption of indigoids compounds. Using this procedure, we have assessed the effects of both the surroundings (solvent and solid state) and the substitution pattern. For the latter, we obtained a mean absolute deviation of only 7 nm (0.02 eV) compared to experiment, for a set of 86 molecules/solvents. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
