How to use semiempirical methods?


Just Got Here
Hola a todos

Hi all, is my first post, they could help with the following.

First of all, I apologize for my bad English, helped me with a translator.

They could explain how to use semiempirical methods in NWChem?
Currently I am working with organic molecules, and want to use these methods to calculate UV-Vis.
But I want to use the best semiempirical methods. How could I write my input file to calculate for example, this molecule of chalcone:

memory 12000 mb heap 4000 mb stack 4000 mb

title "Title"
charge 0

geometry units angstroms print
load format xyz H2.xyz
end

basis

end

dft
 xc b3lyp
mult 1
end

driver
 maxiter 200
xyz o-nch
end

task dft optimize
title "Frequency"
task dft freq
