Actually we have also implemented analytical hessian with ECP into Gaussian9x (x=2,4), which might be avaliable in the future. With this extension, u can calculate analytical hessian with f function (then of course gradient with f function) with DFT, HF, and MP2. (well, f function with MP2.., a little disk-demanding) However, the issume is, is f function crucial to ur geometry?! I guess one should always consider this before doing large calculations. For energetics, sure. But for geometry, according to our experince and literature, is not not critical. Of course, u know ur system the best. Any way, let's hope the code will be released in the near future.
