Natural transition orbital analyze from TDDFT/TDHF
Here is an example. The input file is named c2h4.inp.
$COMPASS Title C2H4 Molecule test run, cc-pvqz Basis 6-31G Geometry C .000000 .000000 .667480 C .000000 .000000 -.667480 H .000000 .922832 1.237695 H .000000 -.922832 1.237695 H .000000 .922832 -1.237695 H .000000 -.922832 -1.237695 End geometry Group C(1) Skeleton $END $xuanyuan Direct Schwartz $end $scf RHF Charge 0 $end # First TDDFT calculate 3 excited states.

After the calculation is finished, two files name as "c2h4.nto1.molden" and "c2h4.nto2.molden" are generated that can be visualized by the program molden.
