I have calculated UV absorption spectrum for some molecules using Gaussian. With the following basis set and cards.

#p B3LYP/6-31g** TD(Singlet,NSTATES=15) guess=read geom=check

The results I got are considerably different from experimental results.

1) Can we compare the theoretical results with experimental results? I appreciate if some one could send link for some basic notes on it.

Sincere regards,

Saurabh
