TD-DFT benchmark for UV-Vis spectra of coumarin derivatives
The predictive performances for maximum absorption wavelength of the PBE, BP86, PBE0, B3LYP, M06, M06-
2X, CAM-B3LYP, LC-wPBE, APDF, wB97XD, and PW6B9D3 functionals have been benchmarked through
comparison of maximum absorption wavelength values between calculation and experiment of 21 coumarin derivatives.
For the results obtained from direct calculation by these functionals, the predictive performance decreases gradually in
the following order: B3LYP > APDF > M06 > PW6B9D3 > PBE0 > BP86 > PBE > M06-2X > CAM-B3LYP >
wB97XD > LC-wPBE. B3LYP functional gives the best predictive performance, with the smallest value of the mean
absolute error (MAE = 15 nm) and the root mean square deviation (RMSD=19 nm). When using the results obtained
through correction based on the linear correlation, the predictive performance decreases gradually in the following
order: M06-2X > PBE0, M06, PW6B9D3 > B3LYP, APDF > CAM-B3LYP, LC-wPBE, wB97XD > PBE and BP86.
M06-2X functional gives the best predictive performance, with the smallest values of MAEfix (7 nm) and RMSDfix
(9nm). The correction is very necessary because the values of the corrected maximum absorption wavelengths are
closer to the experimental maximum absorption wavelengths. The values of MAEfix and RMSDfix are much smaller than
those of MAE and RMSD.

INTRODUCTION Coumarins are from the benzoryrone family, an important class of phytochemicals. Over 1300 different coumarin derivatives have been identified, including natural and synthetic derivatives. [1] Coumarin derivatives are widely used in medicine, food, and industry. [2] In particular, many applications are based on the outstanding optical properties of coumarin derivatives such as dyes, color indicators, sunscreens, organic light-emitting diodes, fluorescent markers, and fluorescence sensors [3-6] Therefore, the prediction of the optical properties of coumarin derivatives such as UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra is necessary in order to provide a scientific basis for the design and development of new materials from thesederivatives. [3,7,8] Based on methods of electronic structure theory for studying the electron excited states, theoretical calculations allow predicting quite accurately optical properties of molecules. Some recent publications show that the UV-Vis spectra of some large organic molecules are predictable with high accuracy and reasonable computing costs by using the time- dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) method. Therefore, TD-DFT is the current popular method for calculation of the electron excited states Vietnam Journal of Chemistry Duong Tuan Quang et al. © 2021 Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Hanoi & Wiley-VCH GmbH www.vjc.wiley-vch.de 204 of large molecules [9-13] So far, many DFT methods (pure, hybrid, long-range-corrected, dispersion corrected, etc.) have been developed. [14] However, accurate prediction of UV-Vis spectra using DFT methods depends on the structure of molecules. Therefore, it is necessary to choose suitable DFT functional for each group of compounds to get the accurate calculation results. [15,16] Denis Jacquemin et al. used 29 DFT functionals to predict the UV-Vis spectra of about 500 compounds including bio- organic molecules and dyes. The obtained results were compared with the previous theoretical calculations or experimental measurements. The results show that the predictive performance of the DFT functionals strongly depends on the molecular structure of organic compounds. For example, PBE0 and LC-ωPBE(20) give very good results in predicting the UV-Vis spectra of many neutral organic dyes but are completely inconsistent with cyanine-like derivatives. [17] Azzam Charaf-Eddin et al used the six hybrid functionals, including B3LYP, PBE0, M06, M06-2X, CAM-B3LYP and LC-PBE for calculation of the UV-Vis spectra of 20 conjugated organic compounds in solvent. [18] The results show that B3LYP functional gives the smallest mean signed error (MSE) and mean unsigned error (MUE) for the position of absorption peaks, but is not the most efficient in terms of root mean square deviation (RMSD) or largest standard deviation (SD). Meanwhile, M06-2X functional provides the most appropriate results with the experiment for the band shapes corresponding to the absorption spectra of conjugated compounds. [18] So far, some studies, but not many, have been successful in using TD-DFT method to calculate the UV-Vis spectra of coumarin derivatives. [19,20] In ... ssary to choose right functionals for each compound. The studied results also show that there is no difference between MAE and RMSD when using them for these model evaluation studies. When considering the direction of the errors, PBE and BP86 functionals give values of systematically higher than the values of . Meanwhile, the remaining functionals give values of systematically smaller than the values of . The results indicate that the values of λmax systematically obey the order of PBE > BP86 > B3LYP > APDF > M06 > PW6B9D3 > PBE0 > M06-2X > CAM-B3LYP > wB97XD > LC-wPBE. 3.2. TD-DFT benchmark based on comparison between the ( ) and ( ) The results of the linear correlation analysis between experimental maximum absorption wavelength and calculated maximum absorption wavelength are shown in figure 3. The results show that all the DFT functionals used above yield a very good linear correlation between and . The evidence is Vietnam Journal of Chemistry TD-DFT benchmark for UV-Vis spectra of © 2021 Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Hanoi & Wiley-VCH GmbH www.vjc.wiley-vch.de 207 that the linear correlation coefficient (R) ranges from 0.932 to 0.982, sorted in descending order corresponding to the functionals as follows: M06-2X (R = 0.982) > PW6B9D3 (R = 0.979) > M06 (R = 0.977) > PBE0 (R = 0.976) > APDF (R = 0.975) > B3LYP (R = 0.971) > CAM-B3LYP (R = 0.967) > LC-wPBE (R = 0.9654) > wB97XD (R = 0.9649) > BP86 (R = 0.933) > PBE (R = 0.932). Thus, if it is based on MAE and RMSE (obtained from comparison between and ), M06-2X belongs to the group of functionals with the worst predictive performance (with the largest error), but from linear correlation analysis, M06-2X belongs to the group of functionals with the best predictive performance (with the largest linear correlation coefficient). When considering the direction of the errors, the PBE and BP86 functionals result in all the points on the graph as being below a line with the equation y = x. Meanwhile, the remaining functionals result in all the points on the graph as being above a line with the equation y = x. This shows that whole recommended DFT functionals give the calculated maximum absorption wavelength systematically larger, or smaller than the experimental maximum absorption wavelength. On the basis of the linear relationship between experimental maximum absorption wavelengths and calculated maximum absorption wavelengths (figure 3), the calculated maximum absorption wavelengths can be determined according to the equations in table 2. The calculated differences between the corrected calculated maximum absorption wavelengths and experimental maximum absorption wavelengths ∆ and statistical analysis data of MAE, RMSM, and MSE are presented in table 3 and figure 4. Figure 3: Diagrams of linear correlation between the and The calculation results show that the MAE fix values decrease from 33.8 % (B3LYP) to 84.6 % (LC-wPBE) compared to those without correction, the RMSD fix values decrease from 37.1 % (B3LYP) to 79.8 % (M06-2X) compared to those without correction. The values of MAE fix and RMSD fix obey Vietnam Journal of Chemistry Duong Tuan Quang et al. © 2021 Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Hanoi & Wiley-VCH GmbH www.vjc.wiley-vch.de 208 a M06-2X (MAE fix = 7, RMSD fix = 9) < PBE0, M06, PW6B9D3 (MAE fix = 9, RMSD fix = 11) < B3LYP, APDF (MAE fix = 10, RMSD fix = 12) < CAM- B3LYP, LC-wPBE, wB97XD (MAE fix = 10, RMSD fix = 13) < PBE, BP86 (MAE fix = 15, RMSD fix = 19) order. These results indicate that M06-2X functional gives the best predictive performance for maximum absorption wavelength of coumarin derivatives. These results show the importance of correcting the calculated results for the maximum absorption wavelength of coumarin derivatives by TD-DFT, in order to obtain the values of corrected maximum absorption wavelength that are closer to experimental maximum absorption wavelengths.

The results show that all the DFT functionals yield a very good linear correlation between and . For the results obtained from direct calculation by functionals, B3LYP functional gives the best predictive performance of the maximum absorption wavelengths, with the smallest values of MAE and RMSD.
