For instance, it was shown that in processes that involve charge-transfer mechanisms, such as fluorescence in base pairs, the correct asymptotic behavior of the exchange-correlation functional may affect the accuracy of the outcome.

90. With this reasoning, we do not claim that the values of the ππ* transitions are to be considered exact also for the solution phase, but they are not expected to undergo major modifications in different solutions. Most likely, the effect of the environment on the ππ* transitions can be expected to be a systematic shift toward low energies, which should be taken into account for a more strict comparison in Tables 1-6. However, such a shift cannot be computed at present at the same level of theory.
