Dear CP2k community,<div><br></div><div> I performed geometry optimization for C2H4 at first singlet excited state (S1) using ROKS, and found that the optimized geometry is exactly same as the ground state (S0). Can anyone help me to figure out the way to optimize geometry at low-spin excited state? I also ran an geometry optimization at first triplet excited state (T1) , and obtained a distinct geometry as expected. I guess I might miss some key options in the input file shown below.</div>
