Dear all,
We are trying to optimize the first triplet exited state of a Pt complex with cc2 using turbomole. The most important section of the input is summarized below.
The optimization is not even able to make a single optimization cycle and it stops, after computing the CC2 excitation energies, with the error:
Gradient & energy will be written to control file
for the excited state (mult.,sym.,index,energy):
3a 1 ( 1.71 eV)
The semi-canonical algorithm will be used for densities
=== B matrix transformation for 1 state(s) ===
error in gradient step (1)
Has anyone come across this problem? Is it actually possible to optimize triplet excited state using ricc2 approach?
Thank you very much in advance.
