I want to calculate the energy difference between the first excited singlet state (S1) and the first excited triplet state (T1) by using Gaussian. For this I have done TDDFT calculations by using this command lines:

1.#p opt td=(nstates=25,root=1) cam-b3lyp/6-311g(d)……for singlet (charge = 0, multiplicity =1)

2. #p opt td=(triplet,nstates=25,root=1) cam-b3lyp/6-311g(d)…...for triplet (charge = 0, multiplicity =1)

My questions are:

1.Have I used the right commands?

2.In the log file I get:

Excited State 1: Singlet-A 2.8021 eV 442.47 nm f=0.3948 =0.000

141 ->143 -0.16299

142 ->143 0.68174

This state for optimization and/or second-order correction.

Total Energy, E(TD-HF/TD-KS) = -1867.29072164

And

Excited State 1: Triplet-A -0.7501 eV -1652.92 nm f=-0.0000 =2.000

141 ->143 0.31958

142 ->143 0.68613

141
