[molpro-user] symmetry problem in geometry optimization?

[Peter Knowles]

This input seems not too trip up from the stated problem in Molpro 2010.1, which finds C2v symmetry, with or without a preceding 'angstrom' directive (you surely intend this). However the way the input is specified is somewhat unstable since you rely on just the right A1 in order to get the symmetry that you presumably want. Better, perhaps, to define a dummy centre to be the middle of the I-I bond.
