# Calculation of the 2p Ti and 2p Cl core excitation energies of TiCl4

# The state selective method (key SELECTEXCITATION) can be used to calculate
# core excitation energies. The use of the key SELECTEXCITATION is similar as
# the use of the key MODIFYEXCITATION. However, the key SELECTEXCITATION can not
# be used in combination with the key MODIFYEXCITATION. In the state selective
# method (key SELECTEXCITATION) the one-electron excited state configuration
# space remains complete, whereas it is reduced in case the scheme with the
# MODIFYEXCITATION key.

# == An example with the key MODIFYEXCITATION ==

# In this example, the 12 lowest singlet-singlet excitation energies of T2
# symmetry are calculated, the dipole allowed excitations. This can also be
# achieved using the ALLOWED subkey in the key Excitation.

# In this example only excitations from the 2t2 -orbital are included (see the
# key MODIFYEXCITATION), an almost pure 2p core orbital of titanium. The orbital
# energies of the uninteresting other occupied orbitals are artificially changed
# to a large negative value (-1d6 hartree).

# In this example the 2p Cl core excitation energies of TiCl4 are calculated.

# In this example only excitations from occupied orbitals are considered which
# have orbital energies between -8 and -6 hartree, namely the 5a1, 1e, 1t1,
# 4t2, and 5t2 orbitals, which are almost pure 2p core orbitals of chlorine.
# The orbital energies of the uninteresting other occupied orbitals are again
# artificially changed to a large negative value (-1d6 hartree).
