Re^2: Getting wrong result for TiO2 HOMO-LUMO gap...

Alex Granovsky
gran@classic.chem.msu.su


The relevant lines of output are:

TOTAL NUMBER OF SHELLS              =   11
TOTAL NUMBER OF BASIS FUNCTIONS     =   50
NUMBER OF ELECTRONS                 =   38
CHARGE OF MOLECULE                  =    0
STATE MULTIPLICITY                  =    1

NUMBER OF OCCUPIED ORBITALS (ALPHA) =   19
NUMBER OF OCCUPIED ORBITALS (BETA ) =   19

TOTAL NUMBER OF ATOMS               =    3
THE NUCLEAR REPULSION ENERGY IS      124.9770929777

and


THE ECP RUN REMOVES   14 CORE ELECTRONS, AND THE SAME NUMBER OF PROTONS.

THE ADJUSTED NUCLEAR REPULSION ENERGY=       53.0405413922

So to get the HOMO # you should take 19 and then subtract 14/2  

Kind regards,
Alex Granovsky

>>Dear Users,
>>Please see the following code I am using to run for a single TiO2 molecule. I have used SBKJC and also 6-31G to get almost similar results for HOMO-LUMO gap. I am getting around 0.7 eV. However as far as literature goes, I should have got ~ 3 eV. As it a sngle TiO2 molecule, gap should have opened.
