As is seen, the performance of tPBE (MAE 0.39/0.25 eV) and tPBE0 (MAE 0.34/0.23 eV) are significantly worse for this set of transition metal excitations than NEVPT2 (MAE 0.18/0.10). This represents a shift from previous results on main group molecules in which tPBE0 shows performance on par with NEVPT2; we speculate why this may be the case later in the manuscript. Regardless, the difference between the DVS and ME approaches is consistent in both cases, with ME yielding 0.1 eV more accurate results.
