I recently switched from Gaussian to Molpro for a number of calculations with ClO and BrO but have questions regarding the definition of the wave function. I am trying to calculate the optimized geometry and thermo data for the molecules. <div>
<br></div><div>For ClO, I defined the wave function as wf, 25,1,1 and 25,1,3 but received an error stating </div><div><br></div><div> ILLEGAL COMMAND: BEGINWF</div><div> ? Error</div><div> ? Input error</div><div> ? The problem occurs in wfudef</div>
<div><br></div><div>I think the problem is with the number of electrons. Should this number refer to the total number of electrons in the molecule or only to the valance electrons? Also, do I need to define open or closed shells for this species? </div>
<div><br></div><div>Any help would be appreciated along with any examples that you can provide that way help me better learn this program. </div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Tyler Thompson</div><div><br></div><div>
