Example: MCD: H2O¶

#! /bin/sh


# Example for the calculation of magnetic circular dichroism (MCD). If the
# subkey MCD is included in the key EXCITATIONS the MCD parameters of the
# calculated excitations are calculated (A and B terms). The keys RELATIVISTIC
# ZORA and SOMCD are required for a calculation of temperature-dependent C
# terms. The key ALLPOINTS is required for an MCD calculation (if the molecule
# has symmetry).
