The application of ground-state parametrised dispersion corrections generally reduced the errors of dispersion-uncorrected functionals but did not reach chemical accuracy most likely due to not having been designed to describe excited states. We have noticed overstabilisiation of some systems for some functionals, which occurred more often for the smaller systems. For some methods and systems, improvements of the minimum-energy regions were observed, but dissociation energies were still underestimated. To our knowledge, we were also the first to point out that most TD-DFT methods were unphysically repulsive in the mid range, something that could be reduced by applying dispersion corrections, which in turn indicated that dispersion was the most dominant contribution in that range.
