If nobody is developing X2C in Firefly, I'd like to do this interesting job.

In the past 4 years, my colleagues and I have developed the first and second derivatives of NESC (not the one in GAMESS and NWChem), which is closely related (or equivalent) to X2C. For example, see J. Chem. Theory Comput. 8, 2617 (2012).

After May 31 2015 I'll have a new position to develop relativistic methods. Howerver, to avoid legal problems, the new program has to be started from scratch. If my time is enough, the energy and gradient will be available at the end of 2015. Hope this is not too late.

Best regards,
Wenli
