    This study reports UV–Visible spectra and electronic structures of indigo (IG) in aqueous solution using a combination of experimental and theoretical methods. In the visible region, the experimental absorption spectrum of the solution showed a broad peak with the longest wavelength of maximal absorption (λ<inf>max</inf>) value at 708 nm. For the theoretical method, a trans-IG monomer and a trans-IG bound with two water molecules (IG.2W) were optimized in the ground state using the B3LYP and B3LYP-D3 calculations with the 6-31 + G(d,p) basis set and the SCRF-CPCM model for taking solvent effect into account was also applied. Sequentially, the UV–Visible spectra and λ<inf>max</inf> of the optimized trans-IG and IG.2W models in the implicit water were simulated by the time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. The TD-DFT methods including BLYP, B3LYP, PBE0, CAM-B3LYP, M06-2X, ωB97XD, LC-BLYP, and LC-ωPBE functionals without and with the D3 correction and the 6-31 + G(d,p) basis set were selected. The results pointed out that BLYP and BLYP-D3 were the best methods because they could reproduce the experimental λ<inf>max</inf> value of IG in aqueous solution. The predicted λ<inf>max</inf> values of IG.2W were almost equal to 708 nm (the experimental data), indicating that IG.2W could be responsible for optical properties of IG.
