In this work we compute the S1 potential energy curve responsible for stilbene cis-trans photoisomerisation employing the RASSCF approach, since the standard CASPT2//CASSCF protocol appears to be unsatisfactory in describing the stilbene S1 state. We find that RASSCF calculations, which are based on relatively few (bu…
