CCL:G: Unpaired electrons (not high spin)



 Sent to CCL by: Georg Lefkidis [lefkidis(_)physik.uni-kl.de]
 
Thank you all for yor answers, but I probably did not express my self correctly. I don't want to calculate a high spin state. In fact I want to calculate a low state of multiplicities 1 and 3, but with 4 upaired electrons. In other words the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling of two d^8 transition metal ions. After I sent my first message I discovered a similar case in the G03 official news letter. Here is the address http://www.gaussian.com/g_news/sum05/newsletter_g03_tips.htm I woneder now, whether it is possible to extend this to, say, a four ion modell..
 Regards
 
Georg

 I think you just set the multiplicity to 3, i.e. in the line preceding the input
 geometry instead of 0 1, indicating a charge of 0 and a multiplicity of 1 you'd
 put 0 3 (charge 0, multiplicity of 3).

 	Hi,
 	does anyone know whether it is possible to explicitely ask for unpaired
 	alpha and beta electrons in Gaussian? I mean except CASSCF.
