I am trying to optimize the structure of metal phthalocyanines (Ni and Fe), but I always found problems related to optimization steps or basis set used. I am an experimental researcher and I have no familiarity with these theoretical calculations. I would be grateful if someone sends me the input configuration that works well to opt + freq calculations of Ni and Fe phthalocyanines . Below is a matrix with coordinates that I have used. Many thanks once again!!! Diogo Volpati...

In opt, N is the number of steps required for optimization (you should try this if calculations fall down, with an error l502. The same applies for N' in the SCF). Pople basis set suggested is 6-311g(d), however you can also use 6-311+g(d) but this have more computational cost. I hope this help you.

When you work with metals, you should consider= use of pseudopotentials in order to get good results. If you use Gaussian = software, I suggest you to use the following input file:

%chk=3Dname= .chk
%mem=3D100MW (This is an example, which depends of your particular system)<= br>#p b3lyp/gen pseudo=3Dread opt=3D(maxcycle=3DN) freq scf=3D(maxcycle=3DN= ')

DFT (with functional B3LYP) gives good results for C,H and N, and LANL2= DZ for metals. In opt, N is the number of steps required for optimization (= you should try this if calculations fall down, with an error l502. The same= applies for N' in the SCF). Pople basis set suggested is 6-311g(d), ho= wever you can also use 6-311+g(d) but this have more computational cost.
I hope this help you.

Hello,

In the Gamess-us program there is a keyword = ISPHER which allows to use Cartesian (6d) or spherical (5d)
functions. = Actually when one uses ISPHER=3D+1 the program calculated energy using pure= 5d functions and energy is=A0 little bit higher in comparison with 6d func= tions calculation. But in both cases the program prints eigenvectors using = 6d function. For example, if I am using exam13.inp file from test directory= of gamess-us program with both ISPHER=3D-1 and ISPHER=3D+1 options I alway= s got the same number of basis functions (36) for eigenvectors even the pro= gram indicated that it uses pure spherical harmonics only and variational s= pace is 34.

-- VARIATIONAL SPACE WILL BE RESTRICTED TO PURE SPHERICAL HARMONICS ONL= Y --
=A0AFTER EXCLUDING CONTAMINANT COMBINATIONS FROM THE CARTESIAN GAUSSIAN BAS= IS
=A0SET, THE NUMBER OF SPHERICAL HARMONICS KEPT IN THE VARIATION SPACE= IS=A0=A0 34


So, what is a reason for this and is it possible to= print eigenvectors with just 34 (pure spherical functions)?

I am using March 2010 version

Thank you=A0 David
