</div>The numbers do seem really weird. First, the nuclear repulsion energy<br>
doesn't depend on the electronic structure. Second, electronic<br>
contributions for iron would be much larger than a few dozen Hartree.<br>
But the number is really big to be purely Coulombic.<br>
<br>
Computing the numbers by hand I get<br>
<br>
- repulsion of the point charges: 1.0145 Ha<br>
- attraction of point charges and nucleus: -1.060 Ha<br>
total: -0.0455 Ha<br>
<br>
If you compute the difference between the Molpro and Orca numbers, you<br>
get the difference of 1.0145591 Ha, which you see is the repulsion of<br>
the point charges.<br>
<br>
I'm guessing Molpro doesn't include the static repulsion of the point<br>
charges in the energy it computes.<br>
