We first consider the distance dependent of CT excitation energies in C 2 H 4 • • • C 2 F 4 and in (naphthalene) 2 , similar to the tests reported in Section III B 1 using the equilibrium solvation approach. Comparison to cDFT calculations is not appropriate in the present case, however, because we use a nonequilibrium formulation of the solvation correction in order to describe vertical excitation energies, and there is no analogous ∆SCF calculation. RAS-SF excitation energies in vacuo and in water are shown in Fig. as a function of 1/R. These calculations use the 6-31G* basis set and RIMP2-VDZ auxiliary basis set.
