Hello,

 

I would = like to know about the meaning of zero oscillator strength, f=3D0.0000, in TD-DFT = calculation.

Does it = mean that the transition could not be observed in experiment = ?

Any = information or references would be greatly appreaciated.

 

 

Kind = Regards,

I have been using rasmol as a graphical interface in a modeling application which I am about to complete. However, rasmol numbers the atoms taken from xyz files starting from atom 0, while mine has to start from atom 1. I also read and experienced that there is no way to change this feature but editing the rasmol code. Is there anybody who already faced with this challenge? Thanks to all for your attention. best regards Maurizio From owner-chemistry@ccl.net Wed Jul 13 13:00:49 2005 From: "CCL" To: CCL Subject: CCL: SUMMARY: Symmetry Breaking During CAS Message-Id: <-28883-050713125942-32295-gJKokDZHWSap5rm98+rrIw{=}server.ccl.net> X-Original-From: Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 MIME-Version: 1.0 Sent to CCL by: Dear CCL Readers, I am sending the summary of the answers I received about my recent question about symmetry breaking during a CAS calculation. I would like to say thank you to Antonio M. Marquez Cruz and Wai-To Chan for their answers. Basically I discovered that I don´t know how to perform a CAS calculation in order to obtain the properties I need. I will study this type of calculation in more detail and try the suggestions I have received. Sincerely Yours, Gustavo L.C. Moura gustavo{=}mercury.chem.pitt.edu -----------------Original Message-------------------------------------- Dear CCL Readers, I have a planar conjugated organic molecule that, on paper, has D2h symmetry. I am working with the hypothesis that the molecule is a biradical singlet. I want to perform a CASSCF(2,2) on this molecule to estimate the biradical character of this molecule. When I calculate the molecule with the constraint that the molecule has D2h symmetry, the calculation has severe convergence problems. If I remove this constraint, the molecule distorts to a C2v symmetry and I obtain a biradical character ~20%. I checked the orbitals being used for the CASSCF calculation and they look right (one nonbonding and another slightly antibonding). Is the situation described above correct? Can an organic molecule have such a symmetry breaking as a result of a CASSCF calculation? Is the molecule really a C2v system? Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you very much in advance for your help. Sincerely yours, Gustavo L.C. Moura gustavo{=}mercury.chem.pitt.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Antonio M. Marquez Cruz" Hi, Unless I'm wrong in D2h symmetry group there are not degenerate representations, so you can discard a symmetry breaking due to a Jahn-Teller effect. Are all symmetry equivalent molecular orbitals included in the CAS active space ? To keep the D2h symmetry in your orbitals your CASSCF wavefunction must also have this symmetry and you have to include all symmetry equivalente MOs in the active space. If this is the case, please double check that your initial orbitals are what they are supposed to be. I mean, in many cases it is difficult to be sure that our virtual orbitals are good representations of the antibonding MO we are looking for. Hope these comments helps you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I assume that you removed the D2h symmetry constraint by changing the original cartesian coordinates just small enough for the program to recognize the C2v symmetry. If the distortion of the C2v structure from D2h is not too large I would repeat the optimization starting with the undistorted D2h geometry. Small deviation from ideal symmtry is not that unusual with CASSCF geometry optimization even when it is properly executed. I would try to avoid the convergence difficulties by changing the symmetry of the wavefunction instead of the geometry. With GAMESS this can be done by specifying a lower symmetry than D2h in the $DET or $DRT input card. With Gaussian I am not sure how this can be done. Perhaps the nosymm keyword could do but I am not sure if it is effective in the CASSCF step. If the CASSCF is based on UHF unrestricted orbitals I will try to break the symmetry of the UHF wavefunction. If your casscf-optimized C2V geometry is clearly distinctive from the D2h symmetry you perceive to be correct a possible explanation is that the active space in your MCSCF wavefunction is not sufficiently large. A 2-electrons-2-MOs active space is of the minimum size for diradicals. Your system seems to be more of a diradicaloid than an open-shell singlet diradical. It may sound surprising but partial diradical systems may require a larger active space than a pure diradical. With Gaussian I would design the size of the active space required by running a UHF calculation on the D2h structure first with guess=mix and stable=opt specified. I would then examine the occupancy of the UHF-natural orbitals (with pop=naturalorbitals). If the fraction occupancies of the natural orbitals beyond the HOMO and the LUMO are significant I would increase the active space size accordingly.
