72. For the benzene crystal, the SRSH HOMO-4 band exhibits larger deviation from GW. This overestimation of the orbital energy is inherited from a similar deviation in the gas phase molecule [T. Körzdöfer, R. M. Parrish, N. Marom, J. S. Sears, C. D. Sherrill, and J.-L. Brédas, Phys. Rev. B 10.1103/PhysRevB.86.205110 86, 205110 (2012)].
73. We attribute this to nonlocal dynamic correlation effects not accounted for by RSH [D. A. Egger (unpublished)].
