Re^6: Getting wrong result for TiO2 HOMO-LUMO gap...

Most likely, you are using wrong conversion factor from au to eV.

Kind regards,

>>>>>>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.
