[molpro-user] Density-Fitting + ECP basis set for K - Part 1

Dear Hanusha,

note that in the hf cases you always specified the DF auxiliary basis set that you wanted to use but in the DF-LCCSD(T) calculation you left this choice completely empty.  Note that the set names you use in the basis set block have no special significance to the program, so it can't guess that you want to use the same thing you used in the df-hf or something called "mp2fit" in the basis set block.  Try the following for your last trial:

basis={
default,avdz
K=ECP10MWB

 set,mp2fit,
default,avdz/mp2fit
spdf,K,def2-qzvpp/mp2fit;c 
 
set,dfjk,
default,avdz/jkfit
spdfg,K,def2-qzvpp/jkfit;c 
}
 
{df-hf,df_basis=dfjk;wf,126,1,0}
DF-LCCSD(T),basis_mp2=mp2fit,basis_ccsd=mp2fit


you might also consider using a larger basis set for basis_ccsd at some point too (not for K, but avtz/mp2fit for the other atoms).

best regards,

-Kirk
