# Excited state geometry optimization using TD-DFT+TB, for the molecule m-Cresol.
# The lowest singlet excited state S1 is optimized.
# This method is meant for GGA or LDA functionals. In this example PBE
# is used during the SCF. In the the calculation of the excitation energies the
# TD-DFTB+TB method is used in which the required integrals are approximated in
# the same way as in a TD-DFTB calculation. Symmetry NOSYM is required.
# For excited state gradients all electron basis sets are required.
