[molpro-user] Zr charge 12?

[Timothy Wright]

Were you perhaps using an ECP? The ECP electrons do not count towards the electron count below.

Subject: [molpro-user] Zr charge 12?

Dear all,

I am using Molpro 2012.1 for a single point calculation of a zirconocene compound. 

However, I am a bit confused as I found that in the output file:

 ATOMIC COORDINATES

 NR  ATOM    CHARGE       X              Y              Z

   1  C       6.00    0.035764957    0.153241671    4.680613522
   2  C       6.00   -2.611512696   -0.279647342    5.072236586
   3  C       6.00   -3.955822292    1.900884964    4.232018995
   4  C       6.00   -2.135887526    3.710896778    3.368100458
   5  C       6.00    0.316559363    2.647474185    3.673722086
   6  ZR     12.00   -1.870929026   -0.052239589    0.411909274

I somehow cannot work out why Zr got the charge of 12? That would be Mg or is there something I get wrong here?

All the best from a wet London

Jörg
