Abstrakt: The conventional Kohn-Sham expressions for the static isotropic polarizability and vertical excitation energy are evaluated using Kohn-Sham orbitals and eigenvalues determined directly from theoretical electron densities. For a series of small molecules, polarizabilities determined from wavefunction-based BD(T) electron densities differ, on average, by about 2% from conventional BD(T) polarizabilities when the LDA exchange-correlation integrand is used in the electric Hessian matrix. Also polarizabilities determined from Kohn-Sham densities, using the B97-2 hybrid functional, are close to the conventional B97-2 values. To quantify the dependence on the choice of exchange-correlation integrand, calculations are performed also using the HCTH integrand. Rydberg excitation energies determined from BD(T) and B97-2 densities exhibit errors due to inaccuracies in the asymptotic exchangecorrelation potential. This category of excitation energy is relatively insensitive to the choice of exchange-correlation integrand; valence excitations can be more sensitive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
