Dear Martin,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I agree you definitely want “aug” (although they are actually not quite diffuse enough to cover Rydberg states). If you really want to correlate all the electrons you should use either aug-cc-pCVnZ or aug-cc-pwCVnZ. These include extra (tight)
functions for correlating core electrons. For excited states though, I doubt that core correlation is going to do much for you (relatively to the cost). If you’re interested in Rydberg states you should add some additional diffuse s and p functions. Perhaps
something like the following for valence QZ:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">basis={</div>
<div class="">default,avqz</div>
<div class="">spdfg,O,avqz;c;</div>
<div class="">sp,O,even,1</div>
<div class="">}</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">best,</div>

<div class="yiv1932192971">by default, Molpro puts this molecule in the xy plane. If you turn on orbital printing, you’ll notice that it is symmetry 3 that contains the out-of-plane pz basis functions, not symmetry 2. Spectroscopists will refer to that former
symmetry at B1 even though Molpro happens to label it as B2. Changing your input to symmetry 3 gives you an excitation energy around 7.6 eV.</div>
