Abstract
Light-matter interaction is crucial to life itself and revolves around many of the central processes in biology. The need for understanding these photochemical and photophysical processes cannot be overemphasized. Interaction of light with biological systems starts with the absorption of light and subsequent phenomena that occur in the excited states of the system. However, excited states are typically difficult to understand within the mean field approximation of quantum chemical methods. Therefore, suitable multireference methods and methodologies have been developed to understand these phenomena. In this Perspective, we will describe a few methods and methodologies suitable for these descriptions and discuss some persisting difficulties.

Abstract
Bacteriophytochrome is a photoreceptor protein that contains the biliverdin (BV) chromophore as its active component. The spectra of BV upon mutation remain remarkably unchanged, as far as spectral positions are concerned. This points toward the minimal effect of electrostatic effects on the electronic structure of the chromophore. However, the relative intensities of the Q and Soret bands of the chromophore change dramatically upon mutation. In this work, we delve into the molecular origin of this unusual intensity modulation. Using extensive classical MD and QM/MM calculations, we show that due to mutation, the conformational population of the chromophore changes significantly. The noncovalent interactions, especially the stacking interactions, lead to extra stabilization of the cyclic form in the D207H mutated species as opposed to the open form in the wild-type BV. Thus, unlike the commonly observed direct electrostatic effect on the spectral shift, in the case of BV the difference observed is in varying intensities, and this in turn is driven by a conformational shift due to enhanced stacking interaction.

Abstract
Molecular excitations in the liquid-phase environment are renormalized by the surrounding solvent molecules. Herein, we employ the GW approximation to investigate the solvation effects on the ionization energy of phenol in various solvent environments. The electronic effects differ by up to 0.4 eV among the five investigated solvents. This difference depends on both the macroscopic solvent polarizability and the spatial decay of the solvation effects. The latter is probed by separating the electronic subspace and the GW correlation self-energy into fragments. The fragment correlation energy decays with increasing intermolecular distance and vanishes at ∼9 Å, and this pattern is independent of the type of solvent environment. The 9 Å cutoff defines an effective interacting volume within which the ionization energy shift per solvent molecule is proportional to the macroscopic solvent polarizability. Finally, we propose a simple model for computing the ionization energies of molecules in an arbitrary solvent environment.

Abstract
Absolute thermodynamic quantities for critical chemical reactions are needed to determine the role of solvents and reactive environments in catalysis and electrocatalysis. Theoretical methods can provide such quantification but are often hindered by the innate complexity of electron correlation and dynamic relaxation of solvent environments. We present and validate a protocol for calculating the redox potentials of the ferrocene/ferrocenium redox pair in acetonitrile. Equation-of-motion and effective fragment potential (EFP) methods are used to characterize the adiabatic and vertical ionization potentials as well as the electron affinity processes. We benchmark molecular mechanics against the EFP model to show the differences in the ferrocene electronic polarizability in two redox states. Our best estimate of the redox potential (4.94 eV) agrees well with the experimental value (4.93 eV). This demonstrates the ability of modern computational methods to predict absolute redox potentials quantitatively and to quantify the correlation of dynamic effects, which underlie their origin.

Abstract
Accurate predictions of charge excitation energies of molecules in the disordered condensed phase are central to the chemical reactivity, stability, and optoelectronic properties of molecules and critically depend on the specific environment. Herein, we develop a stochastic GW method for calculating these charge excitation energies. The approach employs maximally localized electronic states to define the electronic subspace of a molecule and the rest of the system, both of which are randomly sampled. We test the method on three solute-solvent systems: phenol, thymine, and phenylalanine in water. The results are in excellent agreement with the previous high-level calculations and available experimental data. The stochastic calculations for supercells containing up to 1000 electrons representing the solvated systems are inexpensive and require ≤1000 central processing unit hrs. We find that the coupling with the environment accounts for ∼40% of the total correlation energy. The solvent-to-solute feedback mechanism incorporated in the molecular correlation term causes up to 0.6 eV destabilization of the quasiparticle energy. Simulated photo-emission spectra exhibit red shifts, state-degeneracy lifting, and lifetime shortening. Our method provides an efficient approach for an accurate study of excitations of large molecules in realistic condensed phase environments.

Abstract
Electron attachment to DNA by low energy electrons can lead to DNA damage, so a fundamental understanding of how electrons interact with the components of nucleic acids in solution is an open challenge. In solution, low energy electrons can generate presolvated electrons, epre-, which are efficiently scavanged by pyrimidine nucleobases to form transient negative ions, able to relax to either stable valence bound anions or undergo dissociative electron detachment or transfer to other parts of DNA/RNA leading to strand breakages. In order to understand the initial electron attachment dynamics, this paper presents a joint molecular dynamics and high-level electronic structure study into the behavior of the electronic states of the solvated uracil anion. Both the valence π* and nonvalence epre- states of the solvated uracil system are studied, and the effect of the solvent environment and the geometric structure of the uracil core are uncoupled to gain insight into the physical origin of the stabilization of the solvated uracil anion. Solvent reorganization is found to play a dominant role followed by relaxation of the uracil core.

Abstract
Here, we present the theoretical-computational modeling of the oxidation properties of four DNA nucleosides and nucleotides and a set of dinucleotides in solutions. Our estimates of the vertical ionization energies and reduction potentials, close to the corresponding experimental data, show that an accurate calculation of the molecular electronic properties in solutions requires a proper treatment of the effect of the environment. In particular, we found that the effect of the environment is to stabilize the oxidized state of the nucleobases resulting in a remarkable reduction-up to 6.6 eV-of the energy with respect to the gas phase. Our estimates of the aqueous and gas-phase vertical ionization energies, in good agreement with photoelectron spectroscopy experiments, also show that the effect on the reduction potential of the phosphate group and of the additional nucleotide in dinucleotides is rather limited.

Abstract
The topical review focuses on calculating ionization energies (IE), or electronic polarons in quasi-particle terminology, in large disordered systems, e.g. for a solute dissolved in a molecular solvent. The simplest estimate of the ionization energy is provided by one-electron energies in the Hartree-Fock theory, but the calculated quantities are not accurate. Density functional theory as many-body theory provides a principal opportunity for calculating one-electron energies including correlation and relaxation effects, i.e. the true energies of electronic polarons. We argue that such a principal possibility materializes within the concept of optimally tuned range-separated hybrid functionals (OT-RSH). We describe various schemes for optimal tuning. Importantly, the OT-RSH scheme is investigated for systems capped with dielectric continuum, providing a consistent picture on the QM/dielectric boundary. Finally, some limitations and open issues of the OT-RSH approach are addressed.

The electric field-induced change in the one-electron density has been expressed as a series of the one-particle density matrix susceptibilities interacting with the spatial distribution of the electric field. The analytic approximate expressions are derived at the Hartree-Fock theory, which serves as a basis for the construction of the generalized model that is designed for an arbitrary form of wavefunction and any type of one-particle density matrix. It is shown that it is possible to accurately predict the changes in the one-electron ground-state density of water molecule in a spatially uniform electric field, as well as in spatially non-uniform electric field distribution generated by point charges. When both linear and quadratic terms with respect to the electric field are accounted for, the electric field-induced polarization energies, dipole moments, and quadrupole moments are quantitatively described by the present theory in electric fields ranging from weak to very strong (0.001-0.07 a.u.). It is believed that the proposed model could open new routes in quantum chemistry for fast and efficient calculations of molecular properties in condensed phases.

Abstract
The 1Lb and 1La excited states of naphthols are characterized by using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT), configuration interaction with singles (CIS), and equation-of-motion coupled cluster singles and doubles (EOM-CCSD) methods. TDDFT fails dramatically at predicting the energy and ordering of the 1La and 1Lb excited states as observed experimentally, while EOM-CCSD accurately predicts the excited states as characterized by natural transition orbital analysis. The limitations of TDDFT are attributed to the absence of correlation from doubly excited configurations as well as the inconsistent description of excited electronic states of naphthol photoacids revealed by excitation analysis based on the one-electron transition density matrix.
