CCL:G: I 0 aug-cc-pVDZ-pp for iodo-compounds



Hi Alex,

I saw you input file. As you know the charge and multiplicity for your system is well defined. Three groups of charge/mult is OK for counterpoise calculations.
About your problem with ECP I have to mention several points.
1- In your input file pseudo=read is redundant. GENECP is enough when you are using an extra basis set.
2- When a basis set is not defined in Gaussian library you cannot use it's name in an input file so
I 0
 aug-cc-pVDZ-pp
 **** 
is meaningless in the input file.

You should copy basis set from EMSL below the basis sets below the other basis sets like this:

O,N,C,H,etc 0
basis set

There is no blank line between predefined basis sets and the new one!
after basis set you must add ECP part after a blank line.


Hope it works for you

Thanks for your reply. I have to inform you that I have run similar calculation based on B3LYP/LANL2DZ and 6-311G(d,p)  without any problem. I have
decided to change the method to MP2. so I have downloaded the aug-pvdz-pp from EMSL.the basis set has got 2 parts. the second part is related to the
ECP calculation. the problem arises whenever I try to add ECP to jobfile. the error was
WANTED AN INTEGER AS INPUT.  FOUND AN END-OF-LINE FOR INPUT. aug-cc-pVDZ  
that changed to
Error termination in NtrErr: NtrErr Called from FileIO.
when I leave an extra blank line after molecular specification.
also, it is appear the pseudopotential is not used for the Iodine.
thanks in advance

Alex, there shoud only be one pair of numbers before the atom line, as:

 Dear All
 I am new in computational chemistry. I would like to run MP2 calculation on some
 iodinated organic compounds. I went through literature and found aug-cc-pVDZ-PP
 basis set best for iodine, whereas for the rest of the atoms in organic
 compounds(aug-cc-pVDZ was applied). the following job file was created but it
 does not work. ANY HELP will be much appreciated.
