Re^5: Getting wrong result for TiO2 HOMO-LUMO gap...

Dear Alex,
Yes you said right..HOMO orbital is 19th. But I am getting 0.68eV using 6-31G. Could you please help me?

Kind Regards,

However as far as literature goes, I should have got ~ 3 eV. As it a sngle TiO2 molecule, gap should have opened.
