For example, the \textit{Configuration Interaction using a Perturbative Selection made Iteratively} (CIPSI) method limits the exponential increase of the size of the CI expansion by retaining the most energetically relevant determinants only, using a second-order energetic criterion to select perturbatively determinants in the FCI space. \cite{Huron_1973,Giner_2013,Giner_2015,Garniron_2017,Garniron_2018,Garniron_2019}
Nonetheless, SCI methods remain very expensive and can be applied to a limited number of situations.
Finally, another option to deal with these chemical scenarios is to rely on the cheaper spin-flip formalism, established by Krylov in 2001, \cite{Krylov_2001a,Krylov_2001b,Krylov_2002,Casanova_2020} where one accesses the ground and doubly-excited states via a single (spin-flip) excitation and deexcitation from the lowest triplet state, respectively.

Obviously, spin-flip methods have their own flaws, especially spin contamination (\ie, the artificial mixing of electronic states with different spin multiplicities) due principally to spin incompleteness in the spin-flip expansion but also to the spin contamination of the reference configuration. \cite{Casanova_2020}
One can address part of this issue by increasing the excitation order or by complementing the spin-incomplete configuration set with the missing configurations, \cite{Sears_2003,Casanova_2008,Huix-Rotllant_2010,Li_2010,Li_2011a,Li_2011b,Zhang_2015,Lee_2018}

Coupled-cluster theory provides a hierarchy of methods that yields increasingly accurate ground state energies by ramping up the maximum excitation degree of the cluster operator: \cite{Cizek_1966,Paldus_1972,Crawford_2000,Piecuch_2002b,Bartlett_2007,Shavitt_2009} CC with singles and doubles (CCSD), \cite{Cizek_1966,Purvis_1982} CC with singles, doubles, and triples (CCSDT), \cite{Noga_1987a,Scuseria_1988} CC with singles, doubles, triples, and quadruples (CCSDTQ), \cite{Oliphant_1991,Kucharski_1991a,Kucharski_1992} etc.
As mentioned above, CC theory can be extended to excited states via the EOM formalism, \cite{Rowe_1968,Stanton_1993} where one diagonalizes the similarity-transformed Hamiltonian in a CI basis of excited determinants yielding the following systematically improvable family of methods for neutral excited states:\cite{Noga_1987a,Koch_1990b,Kucharski_1991,Stanton_1993,Christiansen_1998,Kucharski_2001,Kowalski_2001,Kallay_2003,Kallay_2004,Hirata_2000,Hirata_2004} EOM-CCSD, EOM-CCSDT, EOM-CCSDTQ, etc.
In the following, we will omit the prefix EOM for the sake of conciseness.
Alternatively to the ``complete'' CC models, one can also employed the CC2, \cite{Christiansen_1995,Hattig_2000} CC3 \cite{Christiansen_1995,Koch_1995} and CC4 \cite{Kallay_2005,Matthews_2020,Loos_2021} methods which can be seen as cheaper approximations of CCSD, CCSDT, and CCSDTQ by skipping the most expensive terms and avoiding the storage of higher-excitations amplitudes.

Here, we have performed CC calculations using various codes.
Typically, CCSD, CCSDT, and CCSDTQ as well as CC3 and CC4 calculations are achieved with CFOUR, \cite{Matthews_2020} with which only singlet excited states can be computed.
In some cases, we have also computed (singlet and triplet) excitation energies and properties (such as the percentage of single excitations involved in a given transition, namely $\%T_1$) at the CC3 level with DALTON \cite{Aidas_2014} and CCSDT level with MRCC. \cite{mrcc}

To avoid having to perform multi-reference CC calculations and because one cannot perform high-level CC calculations in the restricted open-shell or unrestricted formalisms, it is worth mentioning that, for the {\Dfour} arrangement, we have considered the lowest \textit{closed-shell} singlet state {\Aoneg} as reference.
Hence, the open-shell ground state {\sBoneg} and the {\Btwog} state appear as a deexcitation and an excitation, respectively.

State-averaged CASSCF (SA-CASSCF) calculations are performed with MOLPRO. \cite{Werner_2020}
For each excited state, a set of state-averaged orbitals is computed by taking into account the excited state of interest as well as the ground state (even if it has a different symmetry).
Two active spaces have been considered: (i) a minimal (4e,4o) active space including valence $\pi$ orbitals, and (ii) an extended (12e,12o) active space where we have additionally included the $\sigma_\text{CC}$ and $\sigma_\text{CC}^*$ orbitals.

For ionic states, like the {\sBoneg} state of CBD, it is particularly important to take into account the $\sigma$-$\pi$ coupling. \cite{Davidson_1996,Angeli_2009,BenAmor_2020}
On top of this CASSCF treatment, CASPT2 calculations are performed within the RS2 contraction scheme, while the NEVPT2 energies are computed within both the partially contracted (PC) and strongly contracted (SC) schemes. \cite{Angeli_2001,Angeli_2001a,Angeli_2002}

\subsection{Spin-flip calculations}
\label{sec:sf}
Within the spin-flip formalism, one considers the lowest triplet state as reference instead of the singlet ground state.
Ground-state energies are then computed as sums of the triplet reference state energy and the corresponding deexcitation energy.
Ground-state energies are then computed as sums of the triplet reference state energy and the corresponding de-excitation energy.
Likewise, excitation energies with respect to the singlet ground state are computed as differences of excitation energies with respect to the reference triplet state.
Nowadays, spin-flip techniques are broadly accessible thanks to intensive developments in the electronic structure community (see Ref.~\onlinecite{Casanova_2020} and references therein).

When technically possible, each level of theory is tested with four Gaussian basis sets, namely, 6-31+G(d) and aug-cc-pVXZ with X $=$ D, T, and Q. \cite{Dunning_1989}
This helps us to assess the convergence of each property with respect to the size of the basis set.

At the SF-ADC(2)-s level, going from the smallest 6-31+G(d) basis to the largest aug-cc-pVQZ basis, we see a small decrease in vertical excitation energies of about \SI{0.03}{\eV} for the {\tBoneg} state and around \SI{0.06}{\eV} for {\twoAg} state, while the transition energy of the {\sBoneg} state drops more significantly by about \SI{0.2}{\eV}.
[The SF-ADC(2)-x and SF-ADC(3) calculations with aug-cc-pVQZ were not feasible with our computational resources.]
These basis set effects are fairly transferable to the other wave function methods that we have considered here.
This further motivates the ``pyramidal'' extrapolation scheme that we have employed to produce the TBE values (see Sec.~\ref{sec:TBE_compdet}).
This further motivates the ``pyramidal'' extrapolation scheme that we have employed to produce the TBE values (see Sec.~\ref{sec:TBE}).
Again, the extended version, SF-ADC(2)-x, does not seem to be relevant in the present context with much larger errors than the other schemes.
Also, as reported previously, \cite{Loos_2020d} SF-ADC(2)-s and SF-ADC(3) have mirror error patterns which makes SF-ADC(2.5) particularly accurate with a maximum error of \SI{0.029}{\eV} for the doubly-excited state {\twoAg}.

Finally, let us consider the excitation energies computed with various CC models and gathered in Table \ref{tab:D4h}.

{\sBoneg} and {\Btwog} are obtained as a de-excitation and an excitation, respectively.
Consequently, with respect to {\Aoneg}, {\sBoneg} has a dominant double excitation character, while {\Btwog} have a dominant single excitation character.
This explains why one observes a slower convergence of the transition energies in the case of {\sBoneg} as shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:D4h}.
It is clear from the results of Table \ref{tab:D4h} that, if one wants to reach high accuracy, it is mandatory to include quadruple excitations.
