Dear MOLPRO gurus:<br><br>Very recently I ran into a peculiar example of a transition state for which MOLPRO disagrees with every other code on the ROHF reference energy. See the simple input below. I tried every SCF convergence acceleration/coaxing trick in the book and a few that aren't, to no avail.<br>
<br>The other structures on the same PES do not exhibit the problem. Does anybody have a clue what I am overlooking?<br><br>(And yes, I know this is a highly multiref problem. Still, ROHF should give the same answer as Gaussian and ACES?)memory,8,m<br>
<br>Many thanks in advance!<br>Jan Martin<br><br><br> 4<br>E(UHF)=-262.355671204 au|Dpl=(0.5152,-0.4848,0) D||E(ROHF)=-262.338447756 au|Dpl=(0.9471,-1.9519,0) Debye<br>O -0.832632 1.113558 0.000000<br>C 0.000000 0.281073 0.000000<br>
