<P><FONT FACE="Garamond">I don't know if your problem gets solved. I am just offering a few suggestions for you to consider:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT FACE="Garamond">(1) ECP60MWB should be better than ECP60MHF for Pt</FONT>
<BR><FONT FACE="Garamond">(2) f-polarization and diffuse functions are very important for these Au-neighbors, so usually people use 3f2g set for augmenting the basis sets</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Garamond">(3) With ECPs for heavy metals, you might want to very carefully check your orbitals to see if the calculation is converged to the real ground state you wanted to.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT FACE="Garamond">Good luck!</FONT>
