Assessing the quantum mechanical level of theory for prediction of UV/Visible absorption spectra of some aminoazobenzene dyes

This quantum mechanical study was performed to assess the accuracy of level of theory for the prediction of UV/Visible spectra of aminoazobenzene dyes. Four solvation models (PCM, I-PCM, SCI-PCM and IEF-PCM) and four functionals (CAM-B3LYP, LC-BLYP, BHandHLYP and PBE0) were tested. Double and triple...
