I want to make sure the meanings of the values for istate and nstate.
For nstate, 6 is that the progam will give the energy results of the ground state, and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th excited states. Right?
For istate, 1 is the first excited state, but not ground state. For my case, the program will give the optimized geometry of the first exctied state. Right?

Regards,

Patrick

>>Dear all,

>>I think there are mistakes in my input files. It is because the optimized gemoetry and the energy of the first excited triplet state are equal to those of the third excited triplet state. Could you help me to point out the mistakes of my input files? My input files are as follows.
