I read in few books and checked some sample input file and I tried using Keyword GEN and at the end of molecule specifications I assigned the basis sets, (6-31G, LanL2DZ). But I am getting the following error: General basis read from cards: (5D, 7F) WANTED AN INTEGER AS INPUT. FOUND A FLOATING POINT NUMBER AS INPUT. 1 2 1.0 5 2.0 22 1.0 ? Error termination via Lnk1e in /usr/common/g03/l301.exe at Fri Nov 21 It would be a great help if you could suggest me what basis sets should I be using for Iodine and transition metal atoms (Rhodium and Copper). Thanks Regards Sachin
