Hello,

I am confused by the output of the following MRCI calculation using Molpro2006.1.

 Reference coefficients greater than 0.0500000
 =============================================
 22222222222222//00           0.9055778

 222222222222/\///\           0.0546697
 22222222222202//02          -0.0541292



 RESULTS FOR STATE 1.1
 =====================

 Coefficient of reference function:   C(0) = 0.92465926

What are the  "Reference coefficients"? What is the  "Coefficient of reference function"?

I have not found any clue in the manual. I suppose it refers to the HF reference wavefunction, and the term "Reference coefficients" means the contribution of the HF determinant (e.g,  22222222222222//00 in the above output), i.e., the square of the "coefficient of the reference function", that is, C(_HF)^2. Am I right? But clearly the results are not right!

Thank you for your help!
