Re^2: MCSCF + PCM

Hi,

thanks for the reply. Actually it might be a good idea to
implement a state-specific solvation for MCSCF.
An interesting case is when a system has an excited state with
a charge-transfer character. In that case using an average density
might give an unexpected result, but I might be wrong.

Concerning the gradients, is there a theoretical reason why
they should be disabled? or is it just a technical problem?
