[CLOSED-x-mail.etsu.edu] Yu: In the output there is the normal MP2 energy and then a PMP2 energy, followed by three values of S2. The first value of S2 is greater than 1? That's from the normal MP2 run. But the next value of S2 comes from the projected MP2 run, and this should be somewhat closer to 0.75. Is it?

Subject: CCL:G: eliminate Spin Contamination for CCSD and MP2 in Gaussian Sent to CCL by: Decai Yu [decaiyu23,yahoo.com] Dear All, I have encountered significant spin-contamination with MP2 and CCSD using Gaussian 09. Can anyone comment on how to eliminate the spin contamination using Gaussian? Your help is appreciated.
