[molpro-user] problem with MRCI breaking degeneracy of 1-Delta state

[Irikura, Karl K. Dr. (Fed)]

Dear MOLPRO experts,

For the 1-Delta state of oxygen (O2), I get nice degeneracy with CASSCF but an (incorrect) energy splitting from MRCI.  There is no problem if I use NOSYM, but it will take long in a bigger system.  What is my mistake?

--------problematic case (D2h)----------
***, O2 singlet states
! casscf(6,4), state-averaged orbitals
!
memory,1000,m
basis=6-311G*

angstrom
geometry={
O
O,1,1.2156
}

{rhf
    occ,3,1,1,0,2,1,1,0;
    closed,3,1,1,0,2,0,0,0;
    wf,16,4,2;
}

{multi
    occ,   3,1,1,0, 2,1,1,0;
    frozen,1,0,0,0, 1,0,0,0;
    closed,3,0,0,0, 2,0,0,0;
    wf,16,4,2; state,1; lquant,0;
    wf,16,4,0; state,1; lquant,2;
    wf,16,1,0; state,2; lquant,2,0;
    expec2,LZZ;
}

cas = energy

! MRCISD calculations
{ci; wf,16,4,2; save,4042.1; }
mrci = energy
{ci; wf,16,4,0; save,4040.1; }
mrci(2) = energy
{ci; wf,16,1,0; state,2; save,4010.1; }
mrci(3) = energy

! convert absolute hartree to relative wavenumber
do I=4,1,-1
    cas(I) = (cas(I) - cas(1)) * TOCM
    mrci(I) = (mrci(I) - mrci(1)) * TOCM
enddo

! print table of relative energies
table, cas, mrci
title, Relative energies in cm-1

digits,1,1

output:
