What is Stokes Shift

The Stokes shift roughly equates to the shift between emission and absorbtion peak:

It influences OLED performance factors like self-absorbtion of photons or the efficiency of energy transfer, particularly important in devices containing dyes of different colors.

Restrictions of the vacuum calculations

In the lab, the solvent/environment can also affect the magnitude of the Stokes shift. If your molecule has a strong CT character, the vaccum calculation should only be understood as an estimate.
