#! /bin/sh # Calculation of the excitation energies of the complex TCNE-Benzene 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 # wB97 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. # For the excitation energies of the complex TCNE-Benzene, charge # transfer (CT) states are important. Symmetry NOSYM is required. # The subkey DESCRIPTORS is added to the key EXCITATIONS such that CT descriptors # are calculated. The the atomic distance criterion used for the calculation of # CT_AT was set to 3.0 Angstrom. # The sTDA parameters should be set with the subkeys GRIMMEAEX, GRIMMEALPHA, and # GRIMMEBETA of the key MODIFYEXCITATION. $AMSBIN/ams <
