Description
This pull request addresses a bug reported in issue #415, where the number of unpaired electrons was not correctly passed to
xtb/tblitecalculations. This led to incorrect spin states being used in some calculations.Solution
The fix explicitly specifies the number of unpaired electrons in each
xtbcall using the--uhfflag. This ensures that the low spin spin state is consistently applied during all relevant calculations.Addition
Two new keywords,
-mseiand-mscid, were introduced as a foundational step toward supporting both modes of the msreact feature.
