>Can I use more accurate basis set for setting up a TDDFT calculation? Say I use 6-31G basis set for DFT ground state calculation and use the optimized coordinates obtained here for TDDFT i/p file. Now in TDDFT file can I change the basis set 6-31G which was actually used in the previous run? One thing I know is more the basis functions, better the absorption spectra.
