132. The CIS method was found to yield more reliable Franck-Condon energy gaps and dipole moments than time-dependent density-functional theory calculations (TD-DFT), and the multiconfigurational self-consistent field method (CASSCF), given the basis set employed. Nonetheless, transition dipoles and associated oscillator strengths are qualitatively similar, regardless of the method employed.
