Dear All,
I read in literature that the 3d shell of transition metals has a
correlation effect called "3d double shell effect"(eg. K Andersson, BO
Roos. Chem Phys Letters 191:507–514, 1992.and TH Dunning Jr, BH Botch,
JF Harrison. J Chem Phys 72:3419–3420, 1980.). They described the way to
address this problem by adding a second more diffuse d shell to the
electron configuration in CASSCF calculation, eg. the original
configuration of Cu atom is 3d(10)4s(1) can be transformed to
3d(9)3d'(1)4s(1), with 3d' a more diffuse shell. But I do not know how
to do this practically. It seems in the CASSCF method of Gaussian
software I can only include the 3d orbital. Should I also include the 4d
orbital or just use more diffuse basis set? Does anyone know how to add
the 3d' orbital?
