Popis: The electronic singlet and triplet states and singlet-singlet absorption spectra of uracil and cytosine have been calculated with ab initio multireference configuration interaction (MRCI) and random-phase approximation (RPA) procedures. The calculations were carried out using ground-state self-consistent-field molecular orbitals obtained with a double-zeta Cartesian Gaussian basis set, augmented with polarization and diffuse functions. Errors in calculated transition energies from both the MRCI and RPA studies were found to be generally within a 12000-15000 cm -1 range, and transition energy estimates were obtained by a linear scaling procedure
