Re: TDDFT with ECP

Dear Pasha,

this is correct behavior and is by design.
After removal of core electrons, associated core MOs are removed
as well, and the rest is renumbered. Indeed, look at SCF results,
you'll see that HOMO is orbital # 62.  

Kind regards,
Alex

>It doesn't make any sense since HOMO is 90th orbital.  Now i should manually add 28 to the order of the orbitals in TDDFT output to understand nature of the transitions. Is it bug or it is "feature" of the FF.
