C1, C2, Cs exploiting Mp2/aug-cc-pVTZ, shows that C1 is transition state and Cs is global minimum. and C2 is also minimum. but using Mp2/aug-cc-pVDZ, Cs becomes transition state and C2 is minimum. but the strange thing is about C1 conformer which has no problem but checking the output of Gaussian shows that even starting with C1 structure as initial structure doesn't end to real C1 structure and the output is more similar C2. does anyone have any Idea, how can i get optimized structure at Mp2/aug-cc-pVDZ level?
