>>Hello,

>>this can be done very simple.

>>Run single point SCF energy calculation. Look at the output and you'll see strings like these:

>> TOTAL NUMBER OF SHELLS              =   10
>> TOTAL NUMBER OF BASIS FUNCTIONS     =   38
>> NUMBER OF ELECTRONS                 =   12
>> CHARGE OF MOLECULE                  =    0
>> STATE MULTIPLICITY                  =    1
>> NUMBER OF OCCUPIED ORBITALS (ALPHA) =    6
>> NUMBER OF OCCUPIED ORBITALS (BETA ) =    6

>>Orbital #6 is HOMO and orbital #7 is LUMO.

>>>Dear Sir,
>>>Please forgive me for asking this question perhaps again in this forum. Actually I have completed the HESSIAN run and am able to read the HOMO,LUMO energies USING GABEDIT software. But I find it really too involving and error prone to calculate the HOMO-LUMO gap from the data. Please suggest em a simpler way so that I get the HOMO-LUMO gap directly...IS there any COMMAND I could add in the FIREFLY input file to get HOMO-LUMO printed in the output file directly?
>>>If a command line input is not available, can Prof. Alex add ONE such command for the users?
