Re: SCF Convergence Problem during the Morokuma Decomposition Analysis

Alex Granovsky

Dear Manoj,

This is quite typical as by default Morokuma decomposition analysis
uses guess=Hcore. While it cannot use Huckel guess at present,
it still can use guess=moread. Thus, converge monomers first in a
separate runs (you need to use exactly the same coordinates as in
the dimer). Then, provide $VEC1 and $VEC2 groups for Morocuma run.
You can find more details in the manual.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Alex Granovsky
