Re: C-Atom
Dear Mr. Pete Taylor, thank you for your quick and interesting answer. You say that I could use SA-state averaging, but one has to use different codes, to perform these kind calculations. But I have to understand throughly what e.g. SA-3 means. Surely more than the averaging of three states and it i...

C-Atom
Hello developers and Dalton-users, I want to repeat a simple scf-calculation on the C-atom, but it is not clear to me, how one adjust the different L-values in Dalton. The C-Atom, with the following configuration has three different states: (1s^2 2s^2) 2p^2: ^3P, ^1D, ^1S. So in D2h-sym, there are f...

Re: WALK-IMAGE_Restart
Dear Mr. Taylor, it is due of my unexperience with other methods, that I only know that a saddle point - transition state - must have an imaginary frequency. I don't know no other methods of proving that feature, but of course they may exist. The IMAGE-Method can have a similar feature by doing " .V...

Re: WALK-IMAGE_Restart
Dear Mr. Taylor, you said, that transition states seems to dislike symmetry and of course I believe you, but it would be interesting to rationlize this. For exmaple, the ground-state of H2O has C2v sym. One transition- state of it, e.g. H-O-H, would have Dinf.h sym. which has higher sym. than the gr...
