# Calculation of the excitation energies of Adenine using the simplified Tamm-
# Dancoff (sTDA) method by Grimme. This method is meant for hybrid functionals
# or range-separated functionals during the SCF. In this example the hybrid PBE0
# 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
# hybrid functionals ADF will automatically set the parameters that are needed
# in this method. For range-separated functional one needs to set the parameters
# manually. Symmetry NOSYM is required. A TZP or TZ2P basis set is recommended
# for this method.
