 Hi,
 Your input does not work because analytical gradients for TDDTF are not
 implemented in Gaussian. You can use numerical ones instead. For
 details take a look at
 http://www.ccl.net/chemistry/resources/messages/2002/04/11.009-dir/
 Analytical gradients are implemented in TURBOMOLE (www.turbomole.com).
 regards,
 Mariusz
