    A coupled-cluster (CC) response functions theory for molecular solutes described with the framework of the polarizable continuum model (PCM) is presented. The theory is an extension to the dynamical molecular properties of the PCM-CC analytic derivatives recently proposed for the calculation of static molecular properties (Cammi, J. Chem Phys 2009, 131, 164104). The theory is presented for linear and quadratic response functions, and the operative expressions of these response functions can accurately account for the nonequilibrium solvation effects. The excitation energies and transition moments of the solvated chromophores have been determined from the linear response functions. Accurate expressions for gradients of excitation energies for the evaluation of the excited state properties have been also discussed

    Molecular Response Functions for the Polarizable Continuum Model

    No full text
    This Brief presents the main aspects of the response functions theory (RFT) for molecular solutes described within the framework of the Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM). PCM is a solvation model for a Quantum Mechanical molecular system in which the solvent is represented as a continuum distribution of matter. Particular attention is devoted to the description of the basic features of the PCM model, and to the problems characterizing the study of the response function theory for molecules in solution with respect to the analogous theory on isolated molecules
