Comparing quantum chemical calculation results based on X-ray structure, the PM5 random phase approximation method was the most promising for the prediction of λmax for anthraquinone dyes among the computational methods studied here. From the results of calculated gross population, pz, it was found that the value of pz using the time-dependent density functional theory method was greater than the values calculated by semi-empirical methods. The overestimation of pz could be attributed to the incorrect density functional theory calculation results. The results of PM5 random phase approximation-calculated oscillator strength and torsion angle showed reasonable agreement with the observed results for sterically hindered anthraquinone dyes., This is the peer reviewed version of the following article: Comparison of semi-empirical and density functional approaches for the colour and constitution of anthraquinone dyes using X-ray structure, which has been published in final form at https://doi.org/10.1111/cote.12600.
