Re^6: How to check for acceptance of Kasha's rule from TDDFT data...?

Dear Pavlo,
Pardon me if I am not clear in my question. Perhaps I am really in deep need of understanding. By de-excitation I mean a vertical transition from S1 to S0 state. For more details please have a look at following absorption and emission data:

EMISSION CALCULATION:: ISTATE=1, NSTATE=3

EXCITED STATE   1  ENERGY=     -1355.7217994424  S = 0.0  SPACE SYM = A  

EXCITED STATE   2  ENERGY=     -1355.6780193460  S = 0.0  SPACE SYM = A  

EXCITED STATE   3  ENERGY=     -1355.6756729663  S = 0.0  SPACE SYM = A  



UV CALCULATION:::: ISTATE=1, NSTATE=3

EXCITED STATE   1  ENERGY=     -1355.7080939866  S = 0.0  SPACE SYM = A  

EXCITED STATE   2  ENERGY=     -1355.6840777343  S = 0.0  SPACE SYM = A  

EXCITED STATE   3  ENERGY=     -1355.6782292662  S = 0.0  SPACE SYM = A  


Can you explain the absorption process and emission process in terms of energy levels? I would be glad if you could just draw the energy transitions for both processes. Also when I am obtaining the emission spectra, the TERM "EXCITED STATE" stands for what? Are these the SO vibrational levels now? If yes, then IS THE TRANSITION FROM S1 TO "n" S0 VIBRATIONAL LEVELS IS STUDIED OR OBTAINED HERE?
I hope I am clear this time..

Kind Regards,

>>>Dear Pavlo,
>>>That is some real relief... Actually the same under study is a doped one. Sir please read my last message and answer them. The picture of Emission process is unclear to me, with regard to the firefly calculations. The ISSTATE=1 is ENSURING that we are finding a transitions from S1 only..Is it correct?
>>>So now SPECIFICALLY about the emission calculations::: What are these EXCITED STATE 1, 2 and so on (depending on NSTATE vaue)? I mean are these the S0 vibrational levels now (because now we are studying de-excitation)? If yes, then how exactly do I find the emission wavelength? Is the analysis similar to the absorption spectra analysis then? I mean using osc. str. etc.? Please guide me.
>>>Also if Kasha's rule holds good, then do I get a high osc. str. at 1st excited state itself in the o/p file?

I need to know that by setting istate =1 in emission spectra calculation, I am actually setting or calculating the de-excitation from the S1 state. Am I correct? If yes, then the TDDFT o/p gives me a set of transitions possible for every excited state (set by variable nstate).What are these nstates now? Do they hold any significance in S1-->S0 transition? Do we mean that these are the vibrational levels of S0 level? Please explain this in the light of kasha's rule.

>>>>>>Dear Users,
>>>>>>Please have a look at the attached file which contains a table describing the contributions/transitions from first four states only for both the absorption and emission calculations. For absorption, I understand that the final state can be any of the excited states which has highest osc. strength. Am I right? But my doubt is regarding kasha's rule... If you see the emission data, the first excited state has a very low oscillator strength of 0.004 (HOMO-->LUMO(97‰ at 2678.9 nm. However the higher states have a better contribution than this state. So please tell me how to analyse this properly. To my knowledge emission wavelength is around 600-730nm.
