Efforts have been made towards a characterization of excited-state potential-energy landscapes of embedded chromophores. There has been a first implementation of analytical gradients for FDE-TDDFT excitation energies published in 2016 , followed by several articles by Höfener and co-workers, including work on gradients for excitation energies from embedded linear-response CC2 and ADC2 (in addition to DFT-in-DFT embedding) .
