ABSTRACT
TSSMM is a Perl script that interfaces with the Gaussian 09 program or the Gaussian 16 program for the purpose of locating the stationary points on the lowest spin-orbit coupled (mixed-spin) potential energy surface (PES) using the electronic structure methods that are available in the Gaussian program. The program uses the two-state spin-mixing model (TSSMM). The interface is based on the Gaussian External keywords. The spin-orbit coupling between two different spin states of the same geometry is incorporated into the geometry optimization by using a pre-defined coupling constant. The coupling constant can be chosen semiempirically to reproduce the multiplet splitting in the atom or monatomic ion, or it can be determined by any other means, such as by a time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) or a CASSI calculation at a representative geometry along the reaction coordinate where the low- and high-spin surfaces are close in energy.
