[molpro-user] large number of excited states

[Peter Knowles]

This requirement may not be so easy to satisfy. Yes, you can rebuild the program with a larger dimension for the maximum number of states (see http://www.molpro.net/info/current/doc/instguide/node6.html). However, depending on the particular case, it is not clear that the iterative diagonalisation algorithm will work well for such a large number of states.

Then, I would like to just simply run a CI calculation in the same active space, freezing all of the "closed" orbitals and omitting the external singles and doubles in order to compute all 100-200 states at once.  I am more interested in the CI vectors than accurate excited state energies.  My trouble is that the maximum number of states allowed in either the MCSCF or CI program is 20.  Is there any easy way around this?
