A CASSCF geometry optimization

We start by a simple geometry optimization  of a water  molecule using a Complete Active Space (CAS)  wave function, where we use C tex2html_wrap_inline9397 symmetry keeping the 1s-orbital on oxygen inactive and distributing the valence electrons into 8 orbitals. At the starting geometry we evaluate the nuclear magnetic shielding constants  and the magnetizability  of the water molecule, and at the optimized geometry we perform a vibrational analysis  and calculate the IR intensities     (related to the dipole gradient). The input file for such a calculation will look like:
