Re^3: SA2-CAS(2,2) calculation with cistep=ALDET and ISPIN=0

I am wondering why GUGA should not work. If you set MULT=1 in $CONTRL, only singlets will be calculated, so you do not need to worry where the energies of triplets are. just use WSTATE(1)=1,1 and NSTATE=2.
best regards,
Bernhard

>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.
