For the permanganate ion, past work has examined the first 10 states with RASSCF, where RAS1 includes 12 orbitals which are doubly occupied in the dominant ground state configuration and RAS3 includes 5 orbitals which are unoccupied in the ground state configuration. RAS2 is left empty and up to four particles and four holes are allowed between RAS1 and RAS3. MC-PDFT with the tPBE functional and RASPT2 energies were calculated. The cc-pVTZ basis was used and will be used in this work as well. A host of other theoretical investigations for this system exist. Experimental work for the three symmetry allowed excitations is available from a number of studies, with the measurements made in vacuum chosen for comparison here. [Cr(CN) 6 ] 3-, has been studied with CASPT2 to model 9 excited states. A number of active spaces were used to properly model the different states. Experimental data is available for 6 states and will be used as the main point of comparison. 3 Results
