Dear Sir/Madam, I'm far from an expert on UV/VIS spectra of actinides, so I hope you will get some more insights on this from the list, but already some remarks here that may help you. 1. You could try the SAOP model potential which is often used for UV/VIS because it has the right asymptotic behavior. 2. Frozen cores can be used, but some of the HF integrals involving the frozen cores are incorrect. You may get away with using frozen cores for your UV/VIS spectrum. I suggest you try it for a small model system. 3. Most probably. Try perturbative SOC and self-consistent SOC for a small model system to check. Note that the SOC treatment of open-shell systems is highly approximate however: https://www.scm.com/doc/ADF/Input/Excitation_energies.html?highlight=open%20shell#highly-approximate-spin-orbit-coupled-excitation-energies-open-shell-molecule Hope this helps, Fedor On 9/24/2017 5:31 AM, 浦宁 wrote: > > Dear: > > I want to simulate UV/Vis spectrum of open shell actinide complex. > This complex contains one Am(III) and a ligand (more than 90 atoms > with C H O N and S). > > I use PBE/TZ2P+small frozen core + scalar relativity, but the result > is not good. > > 1.
