Re^4: SA-CASSCF(4,4) two configuration in an one state and XMCQDPT.....

Dear Sania.

I apologize, i didn't clarify very well. I was talking about regular unsubstituted porphyrin. This molecule indeed has D2h symmetry, you can see that very clear in electronic spectra. If you deprotonate or insert metal in it, of course you increase symmetry and due to degeneracy of LUMO (D4h) you have less number of transition in electronic spectra. But this is not my case yet. The 2nd and 3rd states lie close to each other as well as 4th and 5th. We can se that very clear from experiment. Difference not so small (~50-100 nm). I think it should be enough to separate all excitations in CASSCF job. You can correct me if i am not right.

I attached file. I used different values for wstate array in $xmcqdpt - no luck.

Thank you for you willing to help me.

Best,
Pavel.

>I think it's OK. Probably, your structure is close to (a sort of) D4 or C4 symmetry, and these groups do have E representations. Since the symmetry is approximate, the degeneracy is approximate, too. Any asymmetric distorsion will force your molecule out of this point and remove the degeneracy.

>>Thank you for willing to help me with my proble.

>>My goal is to get excitation energies and electronic structure of the 1st and 2nd excited state of porphyrin molecule. After MCSCF i did i expected 5 states: 1st - 2200, 2nd - 2110, 3rd-2101, 4th - 1210, 5th - 1201. Or similar to that. I bu got another picture. Two configurations have almost same contribute to a state. I could expect that if we have E irrep (LUMO), but as you know in D2h we don't have E. So my question is: "Is it ok in my case?". If so how can i get reasonable data from XMCQDPT job?

I need only 1st and 2nd excited states. Their formation can be described by four orbital approach. Indeed, such approximation quite reasonable, because HOMO,HOMO-1 are separated from another HOMO's by big enough energy gap. All intense transitions in UV-Vis spectra rise from transitions HOMO->LUMO/LUMO+1, HOMO-1->LUMO/LUMO+1. In literature, people used CASPT2(4,4) method and showed such active space can be used for porphyrins (actually 4,4 is the smallest active space for such mycrocycles). So i did SS-CASSCF(4,4)+ntrack and caught all single electron excitations (4 for such active space). After optimization my 1st state was ground state and all single electron excited states were states from 2 to 5. Afterwards, i performed SA-CASSCF(4,4) over 5 lowest states ($drt wstate(1)=1,1,1,1,1 $end ) and got interesting picture(all configuration with zerro's coefficients were removed):
