Re^8: Is it possible to get UV-VISIBLE AND RAMAN SPECTRUM USING FIREFLY???

Dear Thomas,
Thank you for a prompt help. As per your guidance, I had run the calculation for the same sample. I just added this command "COORD=UNIQUE NZVAR=12". But I could not get the UV-VISIBLE spectrum in GaussSum at all. It says that no peaks were found in this range. I even changed the range from 1-900nm and so on. Please find attached the o/p file. A quick help would be appreciated. Also, I would be glad if you could throw light on HOW FIREFLY calculates the UV-Vis spectra?? I understand that for calculating IR spectra, HESSIAN is needed (force constant matrix); but how is the UV-VISIBLE spectra calculated? Do I need any hessian here? Any weblink would be appreciated too.
Thanks in advance,

Regards

>Below is a very basic input example for a TDDFT calculation on butadiene. Note that it lacks a few groups and keywords that one would normally use in a multiprocessor environment, such as the $P2P group. If you would like to run a CIS or TDHF calculation, you should change the value of CITYP to CIS or TDHF and remove the DFTTYP variable. Also, you should change the name of the $TDDFT group to $CIS or $TDHF (keywords for these groups are the same).
