This new set gathers 13 new systems composed by small molecules as well as larger molecules: aza-naphthalene, benzoquinone, cyclopentadienone, cyclopentadienethione, diazirine, hexatriene, maleimide, naphthalene, nitroxyl, octatetraene, streptocyanine-C3, streptocyanine-C5, and thioacrolein. For these new transitions, we generated quality vertical energies, the vast majority being obtained at the CCSDT level, and we consider that, out of these 80 new transitions, 55 of them can be labeled +as “safe”, i.e., considered as chemically accurate or within 0.05 eV of the FCI limit for the given geometry and basis set. +are made with literature data.
