87. We carefully tested the influence of the number of involved conduction bands on the resulting excitation energies and oscillator strengths. Between 120 and 160 conduction bands, the excitation energies varied by less than 10 meV.

96. The HOMO-LUMO gap used to start the BSE calculations in Ref. was opened to enforce the agreement between the TDLDA and BSE excitation energies for the local W1 transition. Due to the iterative methodology used in this previous work, the CTa transition with vanishing oscillator strength could not be obtained at the BSE level beyond the TDA.
97. The use of the Tamm-Dancoff approximation at the GW/BSE level leads to increased excitation energies and a deteriorated spectrum as compared to CASPT2. In agreement with the 0.15 eV blue shift reported by Rocca et al., the largest TDA induced shift concerns the CTb excitation energy, which is blue-shifted by 0.17 eV in our calculations. The TDA further induces a small blue-shift of 0.03 eV for the W1 and W2 transitions, in perfect agreement with Ref.. The CTa charge-transfer state is marginally affected by a 0.01 eV blue-shift.

107. The COHSEX, GW@LDA and GW@COHSEX LUMO energies are found to be 2.32 eV, 2.42 eV, and 2.47 eV, respectively. This can be compared to the DFT-LDA starting Kohn-Sham value (-1.17 eV) and to the all-electron DFT-B3LYP 6-311G(d,p) ΔSCF value (2.13 eV) obtained with the Gaussian09 code.
