A new strategy to improve TD-DHDFs, applies spincomponent (SCS) and spin-opposite scaling (SOS) to the excited-state, second-order perturbative CIS(D) correction inherent in TD-DHDFs. The inclusion of SCS/SOS has demonstrated even more robust treatments of electronic excitations. While not the only ones to apply spin scaling to TD-DHDFs our group introduced fourteen new TD-SCS/SOS-DHDFs, comprised of both global and RS variants in 2021. From these methods emerged some of the most robust TD-DFT methods for excitation energies. Robustness is also an essential requirement when describing NCIs in excited states, as any robust (universal) electronic structure method should describe both the ground state and electronic excited states well. Recently, we showed the promising robust performance of global and RS TD-DHDFs with the help of four excimer models. Excimer binding, an excited-state interaction, can be expressed via intermolecular interaction energies and is a good target for the assessment of NCIs in excited states. Excimer binding is decomposed into the following-often challenging-noncovalent components: electrostatics, charge transfer, exciton coupling and dispersion interactions. The excimer models studied in our previous work comprised the benzene, naphthalene, anthracene and pyrene dimers, for which we obtained reasonably accurate wave-function reference interaction energies at the complete basis set (CBS) level. Our study of popular and state-of-the-art TD-DFT methods also explored the addition of DFT-D type dispersion corrections. which were insufficient when applied in their ground-state optimised version, emphasising the need for specific excited-state dispersion corrections.
