Re^2: Spin-orbit couplings only between states of consecutive CI calculations?

Bernhard Dick

It is a text-example: the lowest 2 states in each irreducible representation of singlet and triplet. For comparison I did it with Gamess-US 2018, and this worked. I include input and output of both.

with best regards,
Bernhard

>>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.
