Listed in Table is the first-order solvation correction to the excitation energy, G ptSS( ) k [Eq. ( )], along with the zeroth-order approximation to the excitation energy itself, ∆E ptSS(0) k [Eq. ( )], and the first-order approximation to the same excitation energy, ∆G ptSS( ) k [Eq. (25)]. These three quantities are related according to Eq. ( ). The zeroth-order quantity ∆E ptSS(0) k is the excitation energy computed in the frozen reaction field of the ground state and does not contain nonequilibrium corrections, i.e., it depends on ε 0 but not ε ∞ .
