CASPT2 molden file

Dear all,

Is there any undocumented keyword/procedure that would allow the direct extraction of CASPT2 natural orbitals onto a molden file ?

I'm aware that a &RASSCF run with CIONLY can produce it from a fed in PT2ORB file but that molden file will not contain the natural occupations in the same way as it can come out from an &mbpt2 run. I was planning to use such a molden file by a third party population analysis program which of course needs the correct occupations.

Best regards,
Nuno

Re: CASPT2 molden file

I'm not sure there's any automated way in 8.0, generating a caspt2.molden file was added in the development version about a year ago. But the occupation numbers should be written in the Pt2Orb file, you may be able to transfer the numbers to the molden file. You could also try molpy (https://github.com/steabert/molpy), but I'm not sure it can do that either (the Pt2Orb does not contain all the information needed for the molden file). In any case, transferring the orbitals from Pt2Orb to molden is mostly a matter of rearranging the coefficients, I may have some old script that could do the job...

Re: CASPT2 molden file

Nuno,
there is one 'undocumented' feature: run &SCF with ITER=0. It will do nothing with the orbitals, but compute all properties, e.g. charges, and produce a molden file

Re: CASPT2 molden file

Thanks!

Molpy looks promising but it mentions an hdf file which I have no idea what it is. RunFile perhaps?

Valera's approach to cheat the program seems to be the most pragmatic, until the next version comes out that is.

Re: CASPT2 molden file

Actually I've tried this with MOLCAS 8.0 and what I got was a memory error and no molden file. sad

Re: CASPT2 molden file

I found out what's causing the error. The &SCF module won't finish the job if CHOLESKY is chosen in &Seward. This could take some time for big molecules.

Re: CASPT2 molden file

I'd suggest you use RICD in GATEWAY instead of Cholesky in SEWARD...

Re: CASPT2 molden file

Perform a CASSCF calculation with zero iterations, with only the optimization of the CI vector.
The calculation ends quickly without converge, and MOLCAS prints the CASPT2 Molden file.

&GATEWAY
coord=test.xyz
basis=ANO-S-VTZP
Group=Nosym
&SEWARD
&RASSCF
FileOrb=$DIR/test.Pt2Orb
symmetry=1
spin=1
INACtive=23
nactel=12 0 0
Ras2=11
CIONly
CIMX=0
LumOrb

If the SCF calculation is performed the occupation numbers are assigned incorrectly.

Re: CASPT2 molden file

Dear josejc

I do not want to optimize the CI vector. That has already been done by the CASPT2 module. In fact I don't want MOLCAS to touch the MOs at all.

In fact I'm not even sure the MO order in the PT2Orb file is the same as in a RasOrb file since post-perturbation natural occupations can change slightly especially if you have moderately significant intruder states or you're using constraints as with supsym. Since the logical move would be to order the MOs by growing natural occupation the Pt2Orb file may well have a different orbital ordering from that of RasOrb as a consequence.

Valera's approach does work but only without Cholesky in &Seward. I have no idea why. I haven't tried it with RICD but I will do.

Re: CASPT2 molden file

The RASSCF module is called in this case only for read the INPORB file and print the Molden file. The starting molecular orbitals (CASPT2) are included in the RASSCF module as "FileOrb=$DIR/test.Pt2Orb", and the the name of the caspt2 molden file will be $input.rasscf.molden as they were generated with the rasscf module.

The calculation does not optimize, does nothing (CIONly;CIMX=0); begins, read the starting MO, does nothing, finish and print the "$ input.rasscf.molden" file. In this case, the rasscf output (ci vector, etc.) makes no sense at all, but the Molden file is generated correctly.

In that way I get the caspt2 molden files with molcas78 (without Cholesky decomposition). Some time ago, I wrote a perl script to get the castp2 molden file directly from the Pt2Orb file (with other information from the Molcas output) and I got the same result as perform the fake rasscf calculation.

If you do the SCF calculation with zero iterations (the Valera's approach) the caspt2 molden file is also generated correctly, but in this case the occupation numbers are set to 0 and 2.

This is not true. The occupation numbers are copied verbatim from INPORB. The only thing different is that the orbitals have one electron energies assigned to them in the molden file. This of course on molcas 8sp1.
