Further scrutiny revealed that four electronic states in the set are problematic due to pronounced double-excitation or multi-reference character; upon excluding those systems, we noticed improvements. The six best methods in our study had MADs of 0.12 eV and 0.14 eV, respectively, and they all have in common that they are spin-component or spinopposite scaled double hybrids combined with range separation and applied within the TDA. More specifically, these methods are: SCS-ωB2GP-PLYP, SOS-ωB2PLYP, SOS-ωB2GP-PLYP, SOS-ωB88PP86, SOS-RSX-QIDH, and SOS-ωPBEPP86. It is noteworthy that those methods worked without further optimization of their parameters, which had been determined on closed-shell systems. Given their better performance for singlet-singlet and singlettriplet excitations, we recommend TDA-SOS-ωB88PP86 and TDA-SOS-ωPBEPP86 as robust methods for general excitation energies until further improvements have been achieved that surpass the chemical accuracy target, par-ticularly for challenging systems, without increasing the computational effort.
