Abstract
We present a comprehensive statistical analysis on the accuracy of various excited state Coupled Cluster methods, accentuating the effect of diffuse basis sets on vertical excitation energies of valence and Rydberg-type states. Many popular approximate doubles and triples methods are benchmarked with basis sets up to aug-cc-pVTZ, with high level EOM-CCSDT results used as reference. The results reveal a serious deficiency of CC2 linear response and CIS(D) techniques in the description of Rydberg states, a feature not shown by the EOM-CCSD(2) and EOM-CCSD variants. The CC3 theory proves to be an accurate choice among the iterative approximate triples methods, while the novel perturbation-based CCSD(T)(a)* variant turns out to be the best way to include the effect of triple excitations in a noniterative way.
