Dear Turbomole experts,
i'm simulating the cations of aromatic molecules with ccsd and pno-ccsd.
If i do UHF simulations the results are practically identical for my test systems.
If i do ROHF this is not the case, because CCSD does a semi-canonicalization (according to the output) which pno-CCSD does not do.
Now, if i take the sc-orbitals from a normal rohf mp2 calculation (ricc2 module) and use them as input for an uhf pno-ccsd calculation the results are much closer to rohf-ccsd (~50meV) but not the same.
I wonder what is happening except the semi-canonicalization in pno-ccsd compared to ccsd that does create this difference in agreement when switching from UHF to ROHF ?
Is it an oversight that pno-ccsd does not do the semi-canonicalization or is there a reason ?
Best
Franz
