In this study, we compare three E-FC methods introduced previously and, for the first time, extend these approaches to the simulation of fluorescence spectra. This is the first study in which these methods have been directly compared to each other and the first in which they have been used to model fluorescence. We employ both ground and excited state ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) to sample chromophore-solvent configurations and compare the resulting ensemble, implicit solvent Franck-Condon, and E-FC absorption and fluorescence lineshapes. To showcase the performance of these spectroscopy methods, they are applied to three well-known fluorophores: 7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4yl (NBD), Nile Red (NR), and 7-methoxy coumarin-4acetic acid (7MC).
