Charge analysis on excited state with RICC2

hi,

I just started to learn to use turbomole in my excited state calculation. The optimization on the excited states with RICC2/TZVP were successful. I want to do charge analysis on one of the excited state (S1). Can anybody tell me how to do this? Is it doable with turbomole? Thanks!

You can try to get Mulliken charges from the cc2
densities by specifying in your control file

$anadens
cc1td-cc2-xs-1a-001.cao
$pop

and then running

ricc2 -fanal

(cc1td-cc2-xs-1a-001.cao is the file where the cc2 density
of the excited state (calculated during geometry optimization)
is contained. You can read more about $anadens in the
manual.

But!
It might be that  ricc2 -fanal won't work, giving "segmentation
fault" error. At least it does not work about me if I use turbo5.9
but it does in the case of turbo5.8. I don't know the precise
reason of the error but it might be simply a bug in the code/script.

Anyway, try to use "ricc2 -fanal" and if it works about you, let me please
know.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Yes, it works for turbomole5.80, and doesn't work in turbo5.91. In turbo5.91, I runned a few times and each time it stopped at different place and give no error. Thanks, it is really great!
