Re^2: SA2-CAS(2,2) calculation with cistep=ALDET and ISPIN=0

Thanks for your response. Yes I set NSTATE to 2, because I want to do SA2-CASSCF(2,2) averaging over two singlet states S0 and S1. But this seems to be not possible with cistep=guga, because ISPIN doesn't work here, and without ISPIN one cannot select two singlet states, as the second state (after S0) is a triple.

Best regards,
Evgeniy
