The next job requires a rather complicated compound input file. The sample job computes ADC/SS-PCM EqS solvent-field equilibration for the first excited singlet state of peroxinitrite in water, which can be used to compute the fluorescence energy. After generating a starting point in the first job (using a smaller basis and lower ADC convergence criteria), the solvent-field iterations are carried out until convergence in the second job. In the third job, ADC(2) excited states are computed in the converged solvent field that was left on disk by the second Job. In the fourth job, we additionally compute ADC(3) excited states. This mixed approach should in general be used with great caution. If the self-ptSS term of the reference state becomes too large (0.01 eV) like it is the case here, the fully consistent approach should be used, meaning that the solvent reaction field should also be computed at the ADC(3) level. PCM settings are all default values except THEORY, which is set to IEFPCM instead of the default CPCM.

The next sample job provides the input for a RI-ADC(2)/ptSS-PCM(PTED) calculation for the five lowest excited states of peroxinitrite in water. After generating a starting point in the first job, which also provides the ptSS(PTE) and ptSS(PTD) results for comparison, the solvent-field is equilibrated for the MP density in the second job. During the iterations, the calculation of excited states is disabled to speed up the calculation. In the third job, five excited states are computed at the RI-ADC(2)/ptSS(PTED) level of theory. Although the PTD corrections for this molecule are unusually large, a comparison of the PTE, PTD and PTD* results from the first job with the PTED results from the third job will reveal a reasonable agreement between the fully consistent PTED and the perturbative PTD approaches. In the fourth job, excited states are calculated with a larger basis set. The self-ptSS term of the MP ground state will be quite small, showing that the solvent-field computed with the smaller SVP basis is a good approximation.
