We show that, depending on the occupation of the transition metal d orbitals, the Hubbard U correction can cause severe instabilities in the migration barrier energies predicted using generalized gradient approximation density functional theory (GGA DFT). For the d0 oxide SrTiO3, applying a Hubbard correction to the Ti4+ 3d orbitals below 4-5 eV yields a migration barrier of ∼0.4 eV. However, above this threshold, the barrier increases suddenly to ∼2 eV. This sudden increase in the transition state barrier arises from the Hubbard U correction changing the Ti4+ t2g/eg orbital occupation, and hence electron density localization, along the migration pathway. Similar results are observed in the d10 oxide ZnO; however, significantly larger Hubbard U corrections must be applied to the Zn2+ 3d orbitals for the same instability to be observed. These results highlight important limitations to the application of the Hubbard U correction when modeling reactive pathways in solid state materials using GGA DFT.To understand the influence of interchromophoric arrangements on photo-induced processes and optical properties of aggregates, it is fundamental to assess the contribution of local excitations [charge transfer (CT) and Frenkel (FE)] to exciton states. Here, we apply a general procedure to analyze the adiabatic exciton states derived from time-dependent density functional theory calculations, in terms of diabatic states chosen to coincide with local excitations within a restricted orbital space. In parallel, motivated by the need of cost-effective a
