A post-calculation correction is established for PM7 band gaps of transition-metal oxides. The correction is based on the charge on the metal cation of interest, as obtained from MOPAC PM7 calculations. Application of the correction reduces the average error in the PM7 band gap from similar to 3 eV to similar to 1 eV. The residual error after correction is shown to be un-correlated to the Hartree-Fock method upon which PM7 is based.
