TD-DFT calculations employ a long-range-corrected (LRC) version of the “BOP” density functional, where BOP indicates the combination of the Becke exchange (B88) functional with the “one-parameter progressive” (OP) correlation functional. A short-range version of the B88 functional (μB88) was constructed according to the procedure described in Ref. 4, and the total exchange–correlation functional is
