Abstract: We study spectral approximations of Schr"odinger operators $T=-Delta+Q$ with complex potentials on $Omega=mathbb{R}^d$, or exterior domains $Omegasubsetmathbb{R}^d$, by domain truncation. Our weak assumptions cover wide classes of potentials $Q$ for which $T$ has discrete spectrum, of approximating domains $Omeg{a}_n$, and of boundary conditions on $partialOmeg{a}_n$ such as mixed Dirichlet/Robin type. In particular, $mRe,Q$ need not be bounded from below and $Q$ may be singular. We prove generalized norm resolvent convergence and spectral exactness, i.e. approximation of all eigenvalues of $T$ by those of the truncated operators $T_n$ without spectral pollution. Moreover, we estimate the eigenvalue convergence rate and prove convergence of pseudospectra. Numerical computations for several examples, such as complex harmonic and cubic oscillators for $d=1,2,3$, illustrate our results.
