Re: MP2, CCSD(T) unrestricted optimization+frequencies

Dear Jonas,

Coupled clusters are not implemented in Firefly. In addition, CC methods are rather slow and scale as N^6 (or worse) with the system size, so your organometallics can hardly be calculated with any CC method. As for MP2, this method overestimates dispersion (van der Waals) interactions, so be careful. I think, it is advisable to optimize the geometry with MP2 and do single-point energy calculations with MP4, which improves this overestimation.
