Improvements in MADs from SCS compared to an unscaled DFA range from being marginal (0.01 eV for TD-SCS-ωB88PP86) to significant (0.14 eV for TD-SCS-RSX-QIDH). Improvements in the same range are also observed for most SOS methods albeit with a much larger maximum improvement (0.22 eV for TDA-SOS-RSX-QIDH). In the overwhelming number of cases, the SCS variant of a DFA results in higher MDs (and thus more blueshifted excitation energies) than the SOS version. Usually this also coincides with the SCS variants having slightly higher MADs than the SOS variant, with TDA-ωB2GP-PLYP being a notable exception due to having the same MADs. The observed trends are the same for full TD-DFT and TDA-DFT, with the full TD-DFT versions of SOS-ωPBEPP86 and SOS-ωB2GP-PLYP being exceptions because they have slightly higher MADs than their SCS counterparts, contrary to their TDA-DFT versions (Fig. ). The impact of SCS and SOS compared to the unscaled version is the highest for TD/TDA-RSX-QIDH. Also the difference between SCS and SOS is the highest for this functional compared to the other tested DFAs.
