28. 1A′ was shifted 0.04 Å with respect to the excited states to account for discrepancies between the predicted MRCCI/CASSCF geometry and that of the experiment. The nonadiabatic coupling was calculated by finite differences of the wave function (27), including only the leading CI and orbital coefficients To compensate for marginal states and the potential shift, a 0.75 scaling factor was needed.
