CCL:G: TDDFT in G03

If you mean TDDFT geometry optimization for excited states Turbomole is the right answer but you can also do numerical geometry optimization using gaussian. Take a look at:
 http://kekule.osc.edu/cgi-bin/ccl/message.cgi?2002+04+11+009
 
It uses Z-matrix but is terribly slow because of numerical gradients. The other disadvantage is you cannot calculate frequencies for excited state.

 Probably not there..  Definitely in Turbomole...

 Dear All,
 I wonder whether it is possible to perform TDDFT
 calculation for excited states using Gaussian03.
 I did not find any proper keyword at Gaussian web
 page. I will very appreciate if someone shows me
 an example of Gaussian input for a TDDFT
 calculation. Thanks a lot!
 Best,
 Evgeniy
