We have presented the implementation of the MCD A term and of the quadratic response function for real and complex frequencies to include the damped response case for MCD at the (RI-)CC2 level of theory in Turbomole. We applied them to the highly symmetric ZnTBP molecule to show how a combination of resonant and damped response theory can be used to compute efficiently MCD spectra for relatively large chromophores. By combining the resonant and damped response results, the absorption and MCD spectra have been simulated in the region 2-8 eV (16 000-65 000 cm -1 ) and compared to experimental data from the literature. Good agreement was found between the theoretical and experimental spectra, where the errors of the computed excitation energies were assigned to the neglect of environmental effects, deviations between vertical excitations and band maxima, as well as the general error of CC2.
