CERVANTES-NAVARRO, Francisco  and  GLOSSMAN-MITNIK, Daniel. A Brief Performance Test of the M06 Family of Density Functionals for the Prediction of the Maximum Absorption Wavelength of Thioindigo in Several Solvents. J. Mex. Chem. Soc [online]. 2013, vol.57, n.1, pp.19-22. ISSN 1870-249X.

The Minnesota family of density functionals (M06, M06L, M06-2X and M06-HF) has been used to calculate the UV-Vis spectra of the thioindigo molecule in solvents of different polarities using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and the polarized continuum model (PCM). The maximum absorbance wavelengths predicted for each functional were compared with the known experimental results.

Keywords : Thioindigo; TD-DFT; PCM; UV-Vis; M06 Density Functionals.
