CCL:G: HOMO-LUMO energy gap for cation radical



 Sent to CCL by: "Gustavo Seabra" [gustavo.seabra*|*gmail.com]
 Hi,
 Here's my best guess: Unless you specify it, Gaussian will consider
 that you are asking for a closed shell, restricted calculation.
 However, in the radical case, Gaussian recognizes it as open-shell,
 and automatically turns on the unrestricted calculation, just for this
 one. (Gaussian has no idea that you intend to compare these results
 with closed-shell calculations...) So, in the end, you actually have
 calculatios using two different methods.
 I suggest that you run all calculations specifying an unrestricted
 hamiltonian. You can probably do that by specifying UB3LYP in
 Gaussian.
 HTH.
 Gustavo.

 Dear Gustavo,
 I used b3lyp/6-31g* keywords
 I dint specify UHF or UMP2 in my calculation. I dint specify any keywords
 for unrestricted calculation.
  With Regards,
 Agalya

 <br>&gt; Dear CCL users,<br>&gt;<br>&gt; In my
 previous message i made typing mistakes.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;
 Kindly answer for this question.<br>&gt;<br>&gt; I have a
 querry regarding HOMO-LUMO gap for cation radical system.<br>
 &gt;<br>&gt; I have performed calculations for neutral, cation
 radical and dication systems.<br>&gt;<br>&gt; 1) For neutral
 system, I used ( Charge=0 and spin
 multiplicity=1)<br>&gt;<br>&gt; 2) For cation radical
 system, I used ( Charge=+1 and spin multiplicity=2)
 <br>&gt;<br>&gt; 3) For dication, I used (charge=+2 and spin
 multiplicity=1)<br>&gt;<br>&gt; For neutal and dication
 systems, in gaussian03 program, it gives Occupied and Virtual orbital energies
 with alpha spin.<br>&gt;<br>
 &gt; For cation radical system, it gives occupied and unoccupied orbital
 energies for both alpha and beta spins.<br>&gt;<br>&gt; My
 querry is, how to compare HOMO-LUMO energy gaps between these
 systems.<br>&gt;<br>&gt; How to get HOMO-LUMO gap for cation
 radical system, in case i want to compare this value with HOMO-LUMO energy gap
 with neutral and dication systems.
 <br>&gt;<br>&gt; Kindly give me some
 suggestions.<br>&gt;<br>&gt; With Regards,<br>&gt;
