# Example for an excited state geometry optimization and frequency calculation.

# Needed for such excited state optimizations are the key EXCITATIONS (to
# calculate excitation energies), the key GEOMETRY (to do a geometry
# optimization) and the key EXCITEDGO (to select for which excitation a geometry
# optimization should be performed). The ground state and excited state are open
# shell.

# Next the frequencies are calculated of the excited state. A restart is used to
# pick up the excited state geometry of the previous calculation. Note that in a
# numerical FREQUENCIES calculation symmetry is turned off except to reduce the
# number of points calculated. Thus irrespective of the specified point group
# symmetry the symmetry label A of SYMMETRY NOSYM should be used to select the
# excited state. Care should be taken to ensure that the correct state is chosen
# in this frequencies calculation as the excited state number can change when
# the point group is changed. In this case instead of 'B2 1' one needs to select
# 'A 1'. Accurate SCF convergence parameters are used.
