[molpro-user] ECP and CCSD(T)-F12

Dear Attila,

Yes, it is possible to use ECPs with the F12 method (this was done, for example, in Werner, Knizia, Manby, Mol. Phys. 109 (2011) 407-417). The problem in this case is that the set you specified isn't contained in the Molpro basis set library. For I you could use the aug-cc-pVTZ-PP/MP2Fit set of Christof Hättig. I have included this auxiliary basis below, but you can download it from the EMSL basis set exchange.

Regards,

Grant
