DA, are obtained from the splittings (i.e., the shifts of the diagonal elements) calculated at the ab initio or semiempirical level for a degenerate donor-acceptor pair and transferred to the nondegenerate systems under study. A better solution involves a calculation on a realistic donor-acceptor pair and direct extraction of the off-diagonal elements. Since both approaches by default calculate the coupling between the v = 0 levels of the donor - acceptor pair, neither of them is capable of accounting for the presence of strong vibronic coupling. Therefore, in cases with complete symmetry cancellations of the Coulomb and exchange integrals involving the localized electronic wave functions of the donor and the acceptor, such calculations do not yield a useful estimate of the magnitude of the electronic interaction between the two chromophores.
