>>>>>>>>>Dear Users,
>>>>>>>>>Please see the following code I am using to run for a single TiO2 molecule. I have used SBKJC and also 6-31G to get almost similar results for HOMO-LUMO gap. I am getting around 0.7 eV. However as far as literature goes, I should have got ~ 3 eV. As it a sngle TiO2 molecule, gap should have opened.
