Abstrakt: Coupled cluster linear-response formalism has been used to compute the vertical spectrum of ethylene and tetracyanoethylene (TCNE). We show that for both molecules the ππ[sup *] excitation [sup 1]A[sub 1g]→[sup 1]B[sub 1u] of the experimental spectrum is not vertical nor the 0-0 transition. For TCNE this excitation is the only experimentally observed band. We have computed vertical excitations of 5.2 eV in gas phase and 5.1 eV in acetonitrile and estimated a lower bound for the 0-0 transition in the gas phase of 4.3 eV. © 2003 American Institute of Physics.
