# Calculation of the excitation energies of Bimane using the simplified Tamm-
# Dancoff (sTDA) method by Grimme, for a range-separated function. This method
# is meant for hybrid functionals or range-separated functionals during the SCF.
# In this example the range-separated functional wB97X is used during the SCF.
# In the the calculation of the excitation energies the sTDA method is used
# in which the required integrals are approximated. For range-separated
# functional one needs to set the parameters manually. Note that the alpha and
# beta parameters for sTDA for range separated functionals in the Risthaus paper
# (dx.doi.org/10.1039/C3CP54517B) are mixed up. A TZP or TZ2P basis set is
# recommended for this method.
# To use the wB97X range-separated functional LibXC is needed. Symmetry NOSYM is
# required. The sTDA parameters should be set with the subkeys GRIMMEAEX,
# GRIMMEALPHA, and GRIMMEBETA of the key MODIFYEXCITATION.
