CCL:G: G09: Proper syntax for CISD



Abrash, 

For the CIS excited state calculation you would put it as CIS(D,NStates=4)

Hope this helps

Hi,

 

I submitted a CISD job using the syntax indicated for CIS on page 214 of Gaussian’s understanding chemistry, but the job crashed because of incorrect syntax.

 

My .com file was:

 

%chk=pyrimidineisomer3+_1CISD.chk

%mem=400mw

%nproc=8

# CISD=(NStates=4)/aug-cc-pVTZ Pop=Reg

 

pyrimidine cation init geom from pyrimidineisomer3+_1.log optimized final CCSD geometry

If someone can see what I did wrong, please let me know.  The Gaussian documentation in the G09 users guide has an output example, but no input examples.

 

Thanks!
