The exponent-stabilized Koopmans' theorem (ESKT) is used to calculate the energies of n* temporary anion states of a series of substituted benzenes. The calculations yield fairly accurate predictions of the relative energies of x* states when using flexible sizes of basis sets.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
