Originally developed from a wavefunction point of view, 36 spin-complete SF-CIS lacks dynamical correlation but that shortcoming can be overcome using a TEOM framework to re-derive this method within the framework of TDDFT. The TEOM formalism itself was originally developed in nuclear physics, but later extended to molecular systems by Li and Liu. As applied to TDDFT, the result is a "spin-adapted" (SA-)SF-TDDFT method that maintain's SF-TDDFT's correct treatment of the topology around CXs but restores spin multiplicity as a good quantum number.
