Custom basis sets (``--custom_basis_sets, -cbs``)

Specific basis sets for specific atoms. Uses the format "<Element>=<Basis set label>;..." (*e.g.* "I=Def2-TZVPD;"). To see all the valid basis set labels per element, visit the `Basis Set Exchange <https://www.basissetexchange.org/>`_. Nonetheless, ``ccinput`` will also detect close synonyms of the requested basis set.

If applicable, the effective core potential (ECP) corresponding to the requested basis set will also be added to the input file.

Parse Name
^^^^^^^^^^
Parse Name (``--parse_name``)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Input files can have different charges or multiplicities, as long as the file name reflects this and the ``--parse_name`` option is used.

By default, inputs are assumed to be neutral and in the singlet state. Charges are indicated by having ``(tri/di)cation`` or ``(tri/di)anion`` in the file name. Doublet states are denoted with ``radical`` or ``doublet``, and triplet states with ``triplet``.

If a charge or multiplicity is also provided explicitly, it will be used as default state for all inputs. However, the charge and multiplicity in the file names have priority over the default state. As such, ``neutral`` can be added to the file name to ensure that the input will be considered neutral, even if the option ``--charge 1`` is provided, for example.
