#CASSCF and (TD-)DFT are well-established components of #ORCA's method portfolio. Check out the new paper by Krewald et al., who use both for tuning the photoreactivity of Fe(III)-azido complexes.

Ligand Field Tuning of Photoreactivity: Contrasting Low‐Spin and High‐Spin Fe(III)‐Azido Complexes
Why do near-identical Fe(III)-azido complexes exhibit different photoreactivity profiles? Linking spin states and key normal modes to wavelength-dependent photoreductive and photooxidative reaction p...
