Multiplicity problem with using ECP for Gd

Mikhail Meshkov

Hi,

please could anyone help me with one occured problem with ECP using?
I'm modelling neutral gadolinium complexes (total number of electrons = 457) using large core potential (IZcore=53).
This ECP includes all f-electrons. So, I suppose there are no unpaired electrons after removing of ECP-core electrons.
However, when I tried to set MULT=1, I found an error in .out-file:

*** CHECK YOUR INPUT CHARGE AND MULTIPLICITY ***
THERE ARE   457 ELECTRONS, WITH CHARGE ICHARG=  0
BUT YOU SELECTED MULTIPLICITY MULT=  1

How can I solve this problem? Should I set multiplicity=8?

Thank you in advance.
Mikhail
