[molpro-user] Wave Function Definition

[Tyler Thompson]

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.
For ClO, I defined the wave function as wf, 25,1,1 and 25,1,3 but received
an error stating

 ILLEGAL COMMAND: BEGINWF
 ? Error
 ? Input error
 ? The problem occurs in wfudef

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?

Any help would be appreciated along with any examples that you can provide
that way help me better learn this program.

Thanks,
Tyler Thompson
