For POLTDDFT it very important is to use specially made auxiliary fit sets. These are available only for a very limited amount of elements, and for a limited amount of basis sets. These special fit sets can be found in the atomic databse directories, with a directory name REDFIT. In $ADFRESOURCES/ZORA/TZP/REDFIT/ one can find reduced fit sets for Au, B, C, F, H, Mo, N, O, and S.

In this sample run the LB94 potential is used. Note that the LB94 is a model potential, thus the calculated bond energy has not so much meaning. If the BASIS key is used and the model potential LB94 in the create run of the atoms the BP86 functional is used.
