frequency mismatch in cc density module

[xiang]

Hi there,
I'm calculating an ADC(2) level excitation energies. So after the preoptimization converged and called cc density module to calculate overlap between left/right vectors (guess in cc_1den), there is an error by printing two unequal frequencies and following:

=================
internal module stack:
--------------------------
    ricc2
    cc_exci
    cc_1den
    ccintleftvec
=================
frequency mismatch
ricc2 ended abnormally

Would someone lend a hand?
Best,
Xiang

Hello,

could you share what was printed before that?

Cheers,

I am not sure what went wrong there. You could try to simply restart the job.
If that doesn't help, change the number of excitation (nexc or npre). That can sometimes lead to a better numerical behavior.

Dear Arnim,
many thanks, I will try with a new input.

Hi,

while running on Turbomole 7.5, I encountered the same error. Running it again or changing the number of excited state lead to the same error.

how did you overcome this problem ?

Best,

Laure

It should not happen with newer versions.

If it happens (with older versions) you can fix it by
  - run an initial calculation with higher convergence threshold in $excitations
  - if it stops with this error, restart with a reduced convergence threshold.
It typically happens if you have (near) degeneracies between states within the same computational irrep. Thus, if your structure has any point group symmetry, use it in the calculation.
