[molpro-user] Derivative coupling

[Alan Chien]

Maybe you could try turning symmetry off. Then your states will all have
the same symmetry and will be ordered according to energy. Then you could
ask to compute the coupling between 1.1 and whatever 2.6 ends up becoming
(which you should be able to readily identify since its energy should stay
the same whether symm is on or off).

The only issue is that with symmetry turned off the calculation will take
longer. I don't have enough experience to estimate how much longer, but at
least you should be able to get the coupling that you want.

As for your second question - I'm assuming you are doing an MCSCF/MULTI
calc. If so, it sounds like you are not utilizing the distinction between
closed and frozen. Frozen means always doubly occupied + no orbital
optimization. Closed means always doubly occupied + orbital optimization.
I've calculated derivative couplings with a combination of the *occ* and
*closed* cards to limit the size of the active space. For more details see
the 2012.1 manual - sections 19.2.2 and 19.2.3. It's pretty clear in there.

Hopefully my suggestions work.
