I am new to NWChem and currently performing VSCF vibrational frequency calculations using double-hybrid functionals. I was able to successfully compute first overtones using the iexcite
keyword. However, I am unsure how to correctly set up the input to calculate and print combination bands (e.g., ν1+ν2) and excited vibrational states.
Here is my current input that works for overtones:
