Dear Prof. Chandra

Looks like both calculations converge to the same minimum, the optimized CCSD(T) energy is the same in both outputs.  Structures are the same, please view the xyz coordinates in some molecule views such as Avogadro or Molden. The opt2 output presents the optimized coordinates that are all shifted along the z-axis by the same amount in comparison to the first output. Simply the origins of cartesian axes differ between both outputs (orient,noorient, or something). Non-zero frequencies seem to be very similar in both cases.

Best regards
Jacek Klos
