Aiming
at completing the sets of FCI-quality transition energies
that we recently developed (J. Chem. Theory Comput.

2019, 15, 1939–1956,
and ibid.

1711–1741), we provide, in the present contribution, ultra-accurate
vertical excitation energies for a series of “exotic”
closed-shell molecules containing F, Cl, P, and Si atoms and small
radicals, such as CON and its variants, that were not considered to
date in such investigations. This represents a total of 81 high-quality
transitions obtained with a series of diffuse-containing basis sets
of various sizes. For the exotic compounds, these transitions are
used to perform benchmarks with a vast array of lower level models,
i.e., CIS(D), EOM-MP2, (SOS/SCS)-CC2, STEOM-CCSD, CCSD, CCSDR(3),
CCSDT-3, (SOS-)ADC(2), and ADC(3). Additional comparisons are made
with literature data. For the open-shell compounds, we compared the
performance of both the unrestricted and the restricted open-shell
CCSD and CC3 formalisms.
