Spin adapted implementation of EOM-CCSD for triplet excited states: Probing intersystem crossings of acetylacetone at the carbon and oxygen K-edges.

We present an equation of motion coupled cluster singles and doubles approach for computing transient absorption spectra from a triplet excited state. The implementation determines the left and right excitation vectors by explicitly spin-adapting the triplet excitation space. As an illustrative application, we compute transient state X-ray absorption spectra at the carbon and oxygen K-edges for the acetylacetone molecule.
