ENERGY-SCAN

What's working:

• REDO_DF_ON_ROTATION = .TRUE.
  • E1elst, E1exch, E2ind(UC),E2exind(UC),E2exdisp(UC),E2disp(UC)
• REDO_DF_ON_ROTATION = .FALSE.
  • ???

What's not working and why:

• REDO_DF_ON_ROTATION = .TRUE.
  • E2ind & E2disp: The DF-FDDS is created correctly for the first dimer configuration, but as it is not updated, it is incorrect for all subsequent configurations.
  • E2exind & E2exdisp: Since these are obtained by scaling E2exind(UC) & E2exdisp(UC) using E2ind & E2disp (and their UC counterparts), these are wrong too.

Cartesian versus Spherical auxiliary basis sets

What are the errors introduced when we use spherical GTOs in the auxiliary basis?

Since the rotation stays the same for the first two, the Cartesian scan which uses REDO_DF_ON_ROTATION=.TRUE. should get all energies correct for these two geometries. But not for the third. Let's see.

Reference energies are calculated using single point calculations (no energy-scan) with Cartesian GTOs in the aux basis.

Are the JK-tzvpp Aux bases any good?

• <math>\pi</math>-systems?
• H-bonded systems?

CamCASP and truncated MO space

When molecules are too long and/or basis sets are too diffuse, DALTON will often need to truncate the MO space to enable the SCF cycle to converge. So the effective number of MOs will be less than the size of the basis used. Since CamCASP assumes these two are equal (though it doesn't need to), this results in errors.

Where do changes need to be made to fix this?

• Reading in MOs.
• Constructing the density-matrix.
• Rotating MOs.
• DF
• Transformation code.
