I downloaded the basis.set ANO-RCC from https://bse.pnl.gov/bse/portal to use with the Uranium.
But I don’t know how I can load to use.
The ECP basis no show me the 5f orbitals in the output. I need the 5f orbitals to know if I need to rotate for the casscf calculation.
How identify de orbitals to put in the active space?
This is the code that I running.

Then add your extra electron taking your initial guess from the orbitals of the neutral. Inspect the orbitals carefully to make sure the initial guess and subsequent scf converged to a reasonable solution, i.e., no 5f or 6d orbitals occupied for the neutral molecule.
