Hi folks,
I have not been able to reproduce the CASPT2 energies for the bare Fe atom calculated with different contractions of the ANO-RCC basis set, following the basis_library/ANO-RCC file and the original paper by Roos et al. (JPCB, 2005, 109, 6575).
I am working in D2h symmetry with SUPSym activated to restrict rotations of occupied orbitals, so that different angular momenta do not mix. I also do a state average calculation for the first 2 roots in the Ag irrep, so that d0 and d2+ orbitals have the same shape.
Depending on the contraction used, my calculations are 3 to 150 mili-Hartree off from the given results, so I should be missing something. Any help is much appreciated. Follows the input options I am using for the minimum basis contraction [4s3p1d] as an example. For other contractions the SUPSym and CLEANup options change accordingly.
Thanks for the attention. Regards,
Guilherme
