Marc, thank you for running this input file on yet another platform with yet another revision of Gaussian 94, confirming thus that the correct energy is around -1086.5 and not -1091.0 atomic units. I must apologize because the very first SCF on the IBM yielded SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47487935 A.U. after 14 cycles and not, as I wrote, -1086.47515931 A.U. after 3 cycles, which is the first SCF of the first restart file (it could be guessed also from the small number of cycles needed to reach self-consistency: 3 instead of 14, thanks Noj). I restarted the optimization twice, and stopped it after a total of 44 steps, because there were no significative changes. The lowest energy, reached at steps 28, 33, 37 and 41, was -1086.47517580. It surprises me that the first SCF on the Pentium differs after the second decimal figure from those on the IBM and the DEC, which were identical in spite of different g94 revisions. However, that's nothing compared with the 4.5 hartrees difference with the SGI... I didn't receive any answer from Gaussian, Inc. so far, nor any decisive hint from the CCL folks yet. Below I enclose the list of the energies at every optimization step. Regards, and thanks to Nathaniel Malcolm and Marc C. Nicklaus for answering. _____________________________________________________________________________ Guido Germano PhD student in Computational Chemistry Dipartimento di Chimica e Chimica Industriale e-mail germano.,at,.dcci.unipi.it Universita` di Pisa http://www.dcci.unipi.it/~germano Via Risorgimento 35 finger guido /at\hal.icqem.pi.cnr.it I-56126 Pisa phone +39-50-918.266, .295 or .239, fax .260 _____________________________________________________________________________ g94_pdtbuB1.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47487935 A.U. after 14 cycles g94_pdtbuB1.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47493464 A.U. after 7 cycles g94_pdtbuB1.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47131315 A.U. after 8 cycles g94_pdtbuB1.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47502780 A.U. after 8 cycles g94_pdtbuB1.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47479785 A.U. after 7 cycles g94_pdtbuB1.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47497507 A.U. after 8 cycles g94_pdtbuB1.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47510545 A.U. after 6 cycles g94_pdtbuB1.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47501048 A.U. after 8 cycles g94_pdtbuB1.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47517654 A.U. after 7 cycles g94_pdtbuB1.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47514597 A.U. after 6 cycles g94_pdtbuB1.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47516223 A.U. after 5 cycles g94_pdtbuB1.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47515896 A.U. after 5 cycles g94_pdtbuB1.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47515784 A.U. after 2 cycles g94_pdtbuB1.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.28464749 A.U. after 10 cycles g94_pdtbuB2.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.28464749 A.U. after 10 cycles g94_pdtbuB2.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47517564 A.U. after 10 cycles g94_pdtbuB2.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47515928 A.U. after 3 cycles g94_pdtbuB2.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47515786 A.U. after 2 cycles g94_pdtbuB2.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.28462806 A.U. after 10 cycles g94_pdtbuB2.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47517587 A.U. after 10 cycles g94_pdtbuB2.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47515933 A.U. after 3 cycles g94_pdtbuB2.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47515786 A.U. after 2 cycles g94_pdtbuB2.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.28492972 A.U. after 10 cycles g94_pdtbuB2.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47517581 A.U. after 10 cycles g94_pdtbuB2.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47515931 A.U. after 3 cycles g94_pdtbuB2.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47515786 A.U. after 2 cycles g94_pdtbuB2.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.28489904 A.U. after 10 cycles g94_pdtbuB2.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47517580 A.U. after 10 cycles g94_pdtbuB2.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47515931 A.U. after 3 cycles g94_pdtbuB3.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47515931 A.U. after 3 cycles g94_pdtbuB3.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47515786 A.U. after 2 cycles g94_pdtbuB3.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.28488924 A.U. after 10 cycles g94_pdtbuB3.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47517580 A.U. after 10 cycles g94_pdtbuB3.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47515931 A.U. after 3 cycles g94_pdtbuB3.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47515786 A.U. after 2 cycles g94_pdtbuB3.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.28488959 A.U. after 10 cycles g94_pdtbuB3.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47517580 A.U. after 10 cycles g94_pdtbuB3.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47515931 A.U. after 3 cycles g94_pdtbuB3.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47515786 A.U. after 2 cycles g94_pdtbuB3.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.28488960 A.U. after 10 cycles g94_pdtbuB3.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47517580 A.U. after 10 cycles g94_pdtbuB3.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47515931 A.U. after 3 cycles g94_pdtbuB3.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.47515786 A.U. after 2 cycles g94_pdtbuB3.out: SCF Done: E(RHF) = -1086.28488959 A.U. after 10 cycles
