Abstract
BODIPY and aza-BODIPY dyes constitute two key families of organic dyes with applications in both materials science and biology. Previous attempts aiming to obtain accurate theoretical estimates of their optical properties, and in particular of their 0-0 energies, have failed. Here, using time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT), configuration interaction singles with a double correction [CIS(D)], and its scaled-opposite-spin variant [SOS-CIS(D)], we have determined the 0-0 energies as well as the vibronic shapes of both the absorption and emission bands of a large set of fluoroborates. Indeed, we have selected 47 BODIPY and 4 aza-BODIPY dyes presenting diverse chemical structures. TD-DFT yields a rather large mean signed error between the experimental and theoretical 0-0 energies with a systematic overshooting of the transition energies (by ca. 0.4 eV). This error is reduced to ca. 0.2 [0.1] eV when the TD-DFT 0-0 energies are corrected with vertical CIS(D) [SOS-CIS(D)] energies. For BODIPY and aza-BODIPY dyes, both CIS(D) and SOS-CIS(D) clearly outperform TD-DFT. The present computational protocol allows accurate data to be obtained for the most relevant properties, that is, 0-0 energies and optical band shapes.

Abstract
In this perspective, we present an overview of the determination of excited-state properties of "real-life" dyes, and notably of their optical absorption and emission spectra, performed during the last decade with time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). We discuss the results obtained with both vertical and adiabatic (vibronic) approximations, choosing relevant examples for several series of dyes. These examples include reproducing absorption wavelengths of numerous families of coloured molecules, understanding the specific band shape of amino-anthraquinones, optimising the properties of dyes used in solar cells, mimicking the fluorescence wavelengths of fluorescent brighteners and BODIPY dyes, studying optically active biomolecules and photo-induced proton transfer, as well as improving the properties of photochromes.
