Are there any electronic structure programs that print the exchange-correla= tion (XC) integrals for a given
DFT functional? These integrals are of the form <pq|w|rs>, where w is= an XC kernel specific to a given
functional and pqrs label arbitrary MOs.

I'm trying to make a Python code that can do TDHF/KS, with the prior SC= F done using an existing
electronic structure package. I have it working fine for TDHF, but TDKS req= uires these XC integrals and I
can't find any program that prints them (or the atomic orbital basis eq= uivalent). Ideally, if this option
exists in Gaussian, that would be most helpful to me, but I would be intere= sted to see if any program will
print these.

This question is also posted at the Chemistry Stack Exchange website:

Part of the reaction mechanism is as follows; . TS1 -> (int) -> TS2 .. I have successfully located the transition states of both TS1 and TS2. However, I am having difficulties in the optimization of (int). I ran IRC calculations on TS1 and TS2. Both IRC calculations suggest the transition state structures are correct and IRC proceeds towards to the desired intermediate. But when I re-optimize the geometry I got from IRC calculations, they collapse to a different structure in the reaction mechanism. Should I just use the geometry found with IRC? I've tried this approach for a different intermediate/TS pair and found that the energies are not quite the same - there is a ~4 kcal/mol difference. I believe this intermediate is a minimum on a shallow potential energy surface. So I have tried the followings; -Decreased the cutoffs for the optimization, -Increased DFT integral grid points, i.e superfinegrid in Gaussian -Tried different optimization algorithms, -Used z-matrix and gave the initial connectivity by hand, -Computed force constants in each step of the optimization, But no luck. I would be happy if you share your experiences for such systems. Suggestions for reading materials would also be very helpful. Thank you, Best Regards.
