The work presented here is the largest application to date of automated multireference calculations on a broad range of molecules. The generation of 3237 multireference excitation energies has allowed us to gain insight into how to eliminate poorly chosen active spaces and has identified trends in the performance of MC-PDFT and NEVPT2. This work has been possible only through the careful work of Loos, Jacquemin, and coworkers in compiling the QUESTDB dataset and the recent work of of Sarkar et. al. which has enabled us to compare our automatically generated results to hand-selected active space calculations.
