>Very often geometry optimization of the excited state brakes a true molecular symmetry. Keep this in mind.

>For more complex systems state of interest may be different, not S1. It is especially true if you have a donor group in your molecule and thus HOMO....HOMO-x belong to the donor, but you are looking for emission within porphyrin core. In such case you need identify the state of interest based on TDDFT(ground state) and knowledge.

>>Dear Alex,
>>I searched a lot on this forum regarding the same. What you told is right and I know these too. But I want to step by step how to optimize  the S1? say for  benzene.
>>And then how should I determine S0--> S1 (optimized)?
>>Please help me stepwise. Any i/p files would be of great help.. I have noted from TDDFT calc of benzene that orbitals 17-24 are most dominant ones. How do I proceed next?
