Hi,

Oscillator strengths are dimensionless. To compare with experiments you can write this in terms of the integrated absorption coefficient (alpha)

f = (4.32x10^-09 moles cm^2 liter^-1) * alpha

With this strong transitions range from ~ 1.0 to 0 for forbidden ones.

Hope this helps.

Best,
-Niri
