TLDR
Time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) has become a well-established part of the modern theoretical chemist's toolbox for treating electronic excited states as mentioned in this paper. Yet, though applications of TDDFT abound in quantum chemistry, review articles specifically focusing on TDDFTs for chemical applications are relatively rare.
Abstract
Time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) has become a well-established part of the modern theoretical chemist's toolbox for treating electronic excited states. Yet, though applications of TDDFT abound in quantum chemistry, review articles specifically focusing on TDDFT for chemical applications are relatively rare. This article helps to fill the void by first giving a historical review of TDDFT, with emphasis on molecular excitations and aspects of TDDFT which are important for quantum chemical applications, followed by a discussion of some modern evolutions with emphasis on the articles in this volume, and ending with a few thoughts about the future of TDDFT.

Self-Consistent Equations Including Exchange and Correlation Effects

TL;DR: In this paper, the Hartree and Hartree-Fock equations are applied to a uniform electron gas, where the exchange and correlation portions of the chemical potential of the gas are used as additional effective potentials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhomogeneous Electron Gas

TL;DR: In this article, the ground state of an interacting electron gas in an external potential was investigated and it was proved that there exists a universal functional of the density, called F[n(mathrm{r})], independent of the potential of the electron gas.

Self-interaction correction to density-functional approximations for many-electron systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the self-interaction correction (SIC) of any density functional for the ground-state energy is discussed. But the exact density functional is strictly selfinteraction-free (i.e., orbitals demonstrably do not selfinteract), but many approximations to it, including the local spin-density (LSD) approximation for exchange and correlation, are not.

Chemistry with ADF

TL;DR: The “Activation‐strain TS interaction” (ATS) model of chemical reactivity is reviewed as a conceptual framework for understanding how activation barriers of various types of reaction mechanisms arise and how they may be controlled, for example, in organic chemistry or homogeneous catalysis.
