The absorption maxima, lambda(max), of various organic dyes such as indigo, azobenzene, phenylamine, hydrazone, anthraquinone, naphthoquinone, and malachite green were calculated using the AM1, PM3, and PM5 semiempirical molecular orbital theories with the configuration interaction singles (CIS) and random phase approximation (RPA) approaches. The calculated lambda max were then compared with the values obtained by CNDO/S, INDO/S, ab initio CIS, and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). We found that the lambda(max) values calculated by AM1, PM3, and PM5 were in good correlation with the observed lambda(max) values. When B3LYP/cc-pVDZ optimized geometries were used, the square of the correlation coefficients between the calculated and observed lambda(max), r(lambda)(2), at the AM1-RPA, PM3-RPA, and PM5-RPA levels were 0.891, 0.897, and 0.927, respectively. In particular, r(lambda)(2) at PM5-RPA//B3LYP/cc-pVDZ was the largest among those obtained from all the other calculations including TD/B3LYP/cc-pVDZ//B3LYP/cc-pVDZ (r(lambda)(2) = 0.827). Accordingly, the standard deviation of the difference between observed and calculated lambda(max) by the linear regression function at PM5-RPA//B3LYP/cc-pVDZ was the smallest. It was therefore concluded that this method was the most promising for the prediction of lambda(max) of various dyes among the computational methods studied here. When AM1 optimized geometries were used, r(lambda)(2) at the AM1-RPA, PM3-RPA, and PM5-RPA levels were 0.822, 0.841, and 0.901, respectively, and they were also comparable to that at. TD/B3LYP/cc-pVDZ//B3LYP/cc-pVDZ. Therefore, although some calibration efforts may be needed for AM1 geometries, PM5-RPA(CIS)//AM1 may be a second candidate available for the prediction of the absorption maxima of dyes, especially in the case of emphasizing computational cost.
