In trans-pAB, the spin-contamination of the reference Hartree-Fock determinant is small; it is also rather small for the most EOM low-lying states (∼0.002). The EOM-EE-CCSD method generates spectrum of trans-pAB that qualitatively agrees with the EOM-EA-CCSD one. The EOM-EE-CCSD excitation energies are higher by about 0.15 eV. The transition dipole moments agree within 30% with the EOM-EA-CCSD ones.
