gauge-including atomic orbitals (GIAOs) to ensure exact gauge-invariance. Other featuresinclude the direct calculation of electronic excitation energies using the Tamm-Dancoff (orconfiguration interaction singles) model (CIS), the random-phase approximation (RPA), theequation-of-motion coupled-cluster approach (EOM-CC) and similarity transform-equationof-motion(STEOM), and molecular ionization potentials and electron affinities with EOM,STEOM, and Fock-space coupled-cluster methods. Transition moments between groundand excited states can be calculated for all of the methods, as well as selected excited stateproperties. The excited state geometry optimization and frequency calculations employ theanalytical gradients capabilities available for the EOM and STEOM methods.The programs collectively known as <strong>ACES</strong> <strong>II</strong> began development in early 1990, and thefirst <strong>version</strong> of the code was written by J.F. Stanton, J. Gauss, J.D. Watts, W.J. Lauderdale,and R.J. Bartlett. Program development is continuing, and the capabilities as well as thecontributors to the development of the <strong>ACES</strong> <strong>II</strong> program system are continually increasing.At present, there are more than 30 member executables, each of which performs awell-defined function and communicates with the rest of <strong>ACES</strong> <strong>II</strong> through stored files. The<strong>ACES</strong> <strong>II</strong> program system has been interfaced with external programs such as MOLCAS andGAMESS. The primary function of the MOLCAS and GAMESS interfaces is to provide integraland integral derivative programs that are more efficient and have direct capabilities tocomplement the functionalities of the locally modified <strong>version</strong> of vmol, vprops, and vdintprograms. A complete replacement of these member executables is not yet feasible since thespecialized integrals such as Gauge-origin-independent (GIAO) integrals and NMR spin-spincoupling operator integrals are only available in vmol, vprops, and vdint. <strong>ACES</strong> <strong>II</strong> canalso generate interfaces to graphical programs such as MOLDEN and gOpenMol, wave functionanalysis codes such as Natural Bond Orbital (NBO), and semi-emperical programs suchas HyperChem, NDDO, and MOPAC. The <strong>ACES</strong> <strong>II</strong> distribution comes with these capabilities;however, <strong>ACES</strong> <strong>II</strong> developers are not responsible for distributing or maintaining theexternal programs. Having independent licenses for external programs along with <strong>ACES</strong> <strong>II</strong>will allow users to take full advantage of this functionality.Since <strong>ACES</strong> <strong>II</strong> is the product of academic research group, and not a software company,we are unable to guarantee that all results obtained with it are correct. Although we havemade great progress in removing serious errors from the codes, problems may still occurand should be reported to aces2@qtp.ufl.edu. Any suggestions for improving the input oroutput, “wish-lists” for features, or other comments may also be sent to this address.3.1 Overview of capabilities of <strong>ACES</strong> <strong>II</strong>The general capabilities of <strong>ACES</strong> <strong>II</strong> to determine single point energies, analytical gradients,and analytical hessians are as follows:11
