Topic: SCF convergence problem for cyclobutadiene

LinkPost TimeAuthorMessage Excerpt
29421 Aug 2006, 09:08 AM CESTmarcelswartDoes the SCF converge normally, or is it problematic ?
If it is problematic, please try the following settings:

SCF
diis ok=0.01
mix 0.1
iterations 99
END

or try with the STEEP option of Occupations (see manual),
which has been added in 2006.01 version of ADF.
29721 Aug 2006, 06:08 PM CESTcorminb6The SCF convergence is not problematic but it converges to the wrong electronic state to avoid a small HOMO-LUMO energy gap:

HOMO : 1 B2.g -0.12130292264307E+00
LUMO : 1 B3.g -0.15968716438201E+00

rather than
B1.g 1 2.00 -0.35816616501444E+00 -9.7462
B3.u 2 2.00 -0.33838150474689E+00 -9.2078
B1.u 1 2.00 -0.33717211902414E+00 -9.1749
B2.u 2 2.00 -0.30772553489344E+00 -8.3736
B3.g (HOMO) 0.00 -0.15968716438201E+00 -4.3453
B2.g (LUMO) 2.00 -0.12130292264307E+00 -3.3008
A1.g 4 0.00 0.27040549778187E-01 0.7358

The triplet state converges properly but none of the SCF options works for the singlet. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the 2006 version of ADF and cannot try the STEEP option of occupations.

See lshift option in the SCF block.
