This account provides a detailed review of time-dependent double-hybrid density functionals, showing their superiority in reproducing exciton-coupled absorption spectra for a variety of electronic excitations in organic molecules compared to conventional TD-DFT methods. While there is still room for improvement and further development, the latest advancements in this field have shown unprecedented robustness. Encouraging users to adjust their computational protocols to these new methods will provide more real-life testing and scenarios.
This account is written for general users of time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods as well as chemists who are unfamiliar with the field. It includes a brief overview of conventional TD-DFT approaches and recommendations for applications to organic molecules based on our own experience. The main emphasis of this work, however, lies in providing the first in-depth review of time-dependent double-hybrid density functionals. They were first established in 2007 with very promising follow-up studies in the subsequent four years before developments or applications became scarce. The topic has regained more interest since 2017, and this account reviews those latest developments led by our group. These developments have shown unprecedented robustness for a variety of different types of electronic excitations when compared to more conventional TD-DFT methods. In particular, time-dependent double hybrids do not suffer from artificial ghost states and are able to reproduce exciton-coupled absorption spectra. Our latest methods include range separation and belong to the currently best TD-DFT methods for singlet-singlet excitations in organic molecules. While there is still room for improvement and further development in this space, we hope that this account encourages users to adjust their computational protocols to such new methods to provide more real-life testing and scenarios.
