All:
I am attempting to perform an (8,8) CASSCF calculation on pentalene using
the pi system as the active space. Essentially I'm trying to duplicate the
results of Robb et al. in Mol. Phys. 100, 1735 (2002). What I'd like to do
is to select only certain configurations by spatial symmetry type according
to its irreducible representation, and I'm having a difficult time with it.
The G03 documentation isn't clear at all how this may be performed. I'm
able to calculate the correct CASSCF energy using the entire configuration
list so I know I've selected the correct active space. Could anyone
provide
some insight as to how this may be accomplished? Thanks in advance!
