Abstract: The four lowest excited states of chlorophyll-a are calculated by SAC-CI (symmetry adapted cluster coupled configuration interaction), ZINDO (Zerner’s intermediate neglect of differential overlap) and various time-dependant DFT methods. The influences of the side group and nstate on the excite state of Chl-a are discussed. The orientation of three-dimensional transition dipole moment of the Qy band is assigned by different method, these means that is not exactly towards the y direction as Renger’s DFT calculation mentioned. Among of different DFT methods, CAM-B3lyp is the best method to describe the four lowest excited states of Chl-a.

Key words: TD-DFT, orientation of Qy transition dipole moment, Chlorophyll-a
