Example: CD spectrum with spin-orbit coupling: C2H3I

#!/bin/sh

# Example for the calculation of an electronic CD spectrum including spin-orbit coupling
# for the molecule Iodoethene.
# The lowest 3 excited states have high triplet character, but due to spin-orbit coupling
# have non-negligible singlet character, such that the electronic CD spectrum is non-zero.
# Phosphorescence dissymmetry factors are calculated.
