To: chemistry@ccl.net Message-Id: <01GVY29913YQ9UMRGM@MSUVX1.MEMST.EDU> Hi, We are currently testing effective core potential methods (WJ Stevens and TR Cundari, J. Chem. Phys., in press) for lanthanide complexes and would like to be able to use ROHF wavefunctions so as to avoid the problems inherent with UHF wavefunctions and the expense of state averaged MCSCF. Has anybody derived the ROHF coupling coefficients for the high-spin, f**n ground states of the Ln(III) ions? Any help or hints are greatly appreciated. Thanks, in advance.
