In the present study a benchmark set of medium-sized and large aromatic organic molecules with 10-78 atoms is presented. For this test set 0-0 transition energies measured in supersonic jets are compared to those calculated with DFT and the B3LYP functional, ADC(2), CC2 and the spin-scaled CC2 variants SOS-CC2 and SCS-CC2. Geometries of the ground and excited states have been optimized with these methods in polarized triple zeta basis sets. Zero-point vibrational corrections have been calculated with the same methods and basis sets. In addition the energies have been corrected by single point calculations with a triple zeta basis augmented with diffuse functions, aug-cc-pVTZ. The deviations of the theoretical results from experimental electronic origins, which have all been measured in the gas phase with high-resolution techniques, were evaluated. The accuracy of SOS-CC2 is comparable to that of unscaled CC2, whereas ADC(2) has slightly larger errors. The lowest errors were found for SCS-CC2. All correlated wave function methods provide significantly better results than DFT with the B3LYP functional. The effects of the energy corrections from the augmented basis set and the method-consistent calculation of the zero-point vibrational corrections are small. With this benchmark set reliable reference data for 0-0 transition energies for larger organic chromophores are available that can be used to benchmark the accuracy of other quantum chemical methods such as new DFT functionals or semi-empirical methods for excitation energies and structures and thereby augments available benchmark sets augments present benchmark sets which include mainly smaller molecules.
