Equilibrium solvation and non-equilibrium solvation models for the treatment of electronic excitations have been used. Solvatochromic effects have been computed for a representative set of n-pi* and pi-pi* states of formaldehyde, acrolein and pyrazine using several solvents ranging from some with apolar character to water. Agreement with experimental shifts is good within the limits of a continuum model. %K J (WoSType) %F PUB:(DE-HGF)16 %9 Journal Article %U <Go to ISI:>//WOS:000220424700005 %R 10.1007/s00214-003-0530-7 %U https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/47321
