>When I switch off symmetry and do one calculation each for singlets and triplets, the CI "overlooks" the singlet state #4. Therefore, and for an easier symmetry assignment, I used one CI for each irreducible representation, i.e.

>However, Firefly now calculated coupling coefficient only within one CI, and with the following CI. E.g., within the CI#1 (singlet A-states) and between CI#1 (singlet-A) and CI#2 (singlet B1), but not between CI#1 and CI#6 (triplet B1 states) etc.
