Discrepancy in UV-Vis Epsilon Values Between Multiwfn and Gaussview
Dear Prof. Tian Lu,
I hope this message finds you well.
I have generated UV-Vis spectrum using both Multiwfn and GaussView. However, I have observed a discrepancy in the epsilon values obtained from the two different computational tools.
Would you be so kind as to elucidate the formula that Multiwfn employs for calculating epsilon values from oscillator strengths?

See Section 3.13.1 of Multiwfn manual.
Under default setting, Multiwfn and GaussView produce exactly the same UV-Vis curve (only differ by range of X-axis and Y-axis)

Thanks professor, Are the epsilon values calculated as ϵ=f×Conversion Factor in Multiwfn? where conversion factor is 28700.

No. f cannot be directly multiplied with this factor to yield ϵ, it should be broadened as peak with finite weight first. Details can be found in Multiwfn manual.

Can you please guide me to what is wrong with my calculation.
