Re^2: MCSCF CALCULATIONS OF ACETILENE + O3

Hi,

I'd also suggest you to add the following lines to your input:

 $system kdiag=0 nojac=1 $end                                                 
 $p2p p2p=.t. dlb=.t. $end                                           
 $moorth nostf=1 nozero=1 syms=1 symden=1 symvec=1 tole=0 tolz=0 $end           
 $trans mptran=2 dirtrf=.t. mode=2 cuttrf=1d-20 $end

and remove aug part from hydrogen atoms.

Regards,
Alex Granovsky

>Probably, the problem is in what you found in your question #2. The warning you see means linear dependence of the basis set. This frequently happens with diffuse bases. Set $CONTRL INTTYP=HONDO ITOL=30 ICUT=10 $END, this may help. If not, you'll have to drop some diffuse basis functions as stated in the WARNING.

>Also set $MCSCF ACURCY=1.0E-06 ENGTOL=1.0E-12 $END and MOREAD all orbitals rather than occupied only (that is, add $VEC group from PUNCH marked with "OPTIMIZED ORBITALS" rather than "NATURAL ORBITALS".

>In addition, the active space seems somewhat inadequate, IMHO. Some CASSCF natural orbitals have occupations ~1.99 and ~0.01. This means that they anly slightly contribute to the CASSCF wavefunction. Probably, you should include some other orbitals instead of them.
