[molpro-user] Dispersion corrected Geometry Optimizations

[Andreas Hesselmann]

Dear Andrew,

in the current user version of Molpro there are no gradients for the 
dispersion correction implemented. But you can probably use the
scheme described in section 40.2 in the manual to calculate
numerical gradients (save the total sum of the DFT energy and the
dispersion correction in variable 'energy').

Wishes,
Andreas
