The computation of dispersive site energy shifts due to van der Waals interaction (London dispersion forces) was combined with mixed quantum-classical methodology to calculate the linear optical absorption spectra of large pheophorbide a (Pheo) dendrimers. The computed spectra agreed very well with the measurements considering three characteristic optical features occurring with increasing aggregate size: a strong line broadening, a redshift, and a low-energy shoulder. The improved mixed quantum-classical methodology is considered a powerful tool in investigating molecular aggregates.
