Of particular importance in ultra-fast excited state processes are regions of the PES where the upper and lower adiabatic energy surfaces cross and become degenerate. These points of degeneracy are called conical intersections (ConIns) and play an important role in ultrafast photochemical processes, such as radiationless decay. In this work, we will evaluate the ability of the DFT/MRCI(2) method to furnish GPR surrogate PESs that yield an accurate description of seams of conical intersection. These surrogate-derived structures, as well as the corresponding branching (degeneracy-lifting) and seam (degeneracy-preserving) spaces, will be compared to the corresponding benchmark ab initio MRCI results. The demonstration that DFT/MRCI(2), when used to generate smoothly varying potential surrogates, can produce accurate seams of intersection is the first and necessary step towards excited state dynamics on GPR-derived PESs.
