Example: MCD: H2O

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).
