Dear CCL'ers
I am trying to generate wave function for a heterocycle molecule which is
expected to show diradical character. So I started with simple CH3 radical and
there I could generate wave functions for total spin, alph-spin and beta-spin
properly (here properly means in wave function files I could see proper
occupation numbers and electron distribution between alpha and beta spins). But
when it comes to my molecule, in beta spin wave function I could not find any
MO with occupation 1 or near to 1. Most of the MOs are with negligible
occupation numbers and even total MOs from alpha and beta spins are not matching
with the total MOs in total spin wave function. But when I use UB3LYP method I
could find the matching between occupation numbers and total MOs from these
three wave functions.
But surprisingly for CH3 radical even restricted method (B3LYP/6-31G**) gives
properly, then why not for my molecule. I even tried with CCSD method also but
failed.
I would be great-full if some one rectify me if I am in wrong direction or
having wrong concept about wave function generation.
Thanking you
