In this study, we predict vibronic two-photon absorption (TPA) spectra for 4-nitroaniline in vacuo. The simulations are performed using density functional theory and the approximate second-order coupled-cluster singles and doubles model CC2. Thereby we also demonstrate the possibility of simulations of vibronic TPA spectra with ab initio wavefunction methods that include electron correlation for medium-sized systems. A special focus is put on the geometric derivatives of the second-order transition moment and the dipole moment difference between the charge-transfer excited state and the ground state. The results of CC2 calculations bring new insight into the vibronic coupling mechanism in TPA spectra of 4-nitroniline and demonstrate that the mixed term is quite large and that it also exhibits a negative interference with the Franck-Condon contribution. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
