In the input file you should specify: RELATIVISTIC SCALAR ZORA EXCITATIONS lowest n END SOPERT PRINT SOMATRIX n is the number of excited states to include in the computation and the keyword "PRINT SOMATRIX" implies that the SOC matrix will be printed in the output. Since the SOC matrix is written in the basis of the singlet and triplet excited states, you can extract the couplings between them. Further clarifications are available in the manual (section 6.3.6: Excitation energies and Spin-Orbit coupling) and on the website (https://www.scm.com/doc/ADF/Input/Excitation_energies.html?highlight=somatrix?highlight=EXCITATION+ENERGIES). Please, read them carefully, they are very helpful. Have a nice day, Spyroulla Sent to CCL by: "Seyhan Salman" [ssalman.:.cau.edu] Hi all, How do you calculate Spin-orbit-coupling between the excited singlet (S1) and triplet (T1) states using ZORA and ADF program? Thank you. Seyhan
