LZORA = [logical]
Default: LZORA = .False. 

Description: LZORA = .True. yields ZORA scalar-relativistic chemical shieldings.


LZORA = .True. allows accounting for spin-orbit coupling (SOC) for the computation of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shielding tensors (LCHIMAG) within linear response theory. The relativistic effects are included on the level of the scalar-relativistic zeroth-order regular approximation (ZORA). We do not recommended using LZORA = T and LSOSHIFT = T together, since it gives worse results, although being formally correct.[1]
