Re^2: Question on CSFs: the same CSFs in the WF expansion

Dear Alex,

Thanks for your response.
Just curious, is it possible to retrieve (with a print option) the spin configuration of each (same) orbital configuration?

Best regards,
Evgeniy

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?
