Question on CSFs: the same CSFs in the WF expansion

Hello,

I wonder how to interpret the same CSFs (configurations) in the WF expansion in a CASSCF calculation. In particular, I have the following expansion for a singlet (excited) state:

    CSF      COEF    OCCUPANCY (IGNORING CORE)
...
   67033   -0.060115  222211101000
   74594   -0.114228  222211101000
...
   88706    0.066301  222121110000
  118407    0.162652  222121110000
...

As can be seen, CFSs 67033 and 74594 as well as 88706 and 118407 look the same, though contribute with different coefficients. I guess these are let's say \alpha \alpha \beta \beta and \alpha \beta \beta \alpha configurations, i.e. double-excitation of the parallel and anti-parallel by spin electrons (like in MP2). Is it possible to say which of the same configurations corresponds to excitation of parallel and anti-parallel electrons?


Best regards,
Evgeniy
