Thanks! I still have some questions about the input since the manual does not contain the information of some keywords.

1. Does numder=.t trigger the numerical gradient calculaton?
2. For $numgrd ngrads=2 istate=2 $end, what are the meanings of ngrads=2 and istate=2?

Regards,

Patrick

>>>Dear all,

>>Could you tell me whether the below iput is OK or not? I want to perform the geometry optimization of the first excited state of the CH2NH2 free radical.
>>I have many molecules calculated by CIS before. Now, I need to calculate free radicals so GUGA is employed since CIS cannot handle free radical. Can the results from the below input be "fairly" compared with the CIS results? I hope the comparison between the properties of molecules calculated using CIS and those using GUGA does not affected by different algorithms.
