Abstract
The vertical excitation energy for the lowest valence pi-->pi(*) transition of cyclopentadiene is investigated. Using a combination of high-level theoretical methods and spectroscopic simulations, the vertical separation at the ground state geometry is estimated to be 5.43+/-0.05 eV. This value is intermediate between those calculated with coupled-cluster and multireference perturbation theory methods and is about 0.13 eV higher than the observed maximum in the absorption profile.
