CCL:G: Gaussian error/basis sets



 Sent to CCL by: Sachin Tyagi [sachintyagi1]=[gmail.com]
 Hi Ol Ga,
 
Thanks for your reply, I tried the way u suggested me but I am still getting the same 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
 If you want I can send you my input file as well. Please help, thanks in
 advance...

 Dear sachin  Tyagi,
 
About your input : you should use keyword pseudo=read in addition of GEN. I made some threads in CCL about this subject, e.g. http://www.ccl.net/chemistry/resources/messages/2008/07/14.004-dir/index.html
 http://www.ccl.net/cgi-bin/ccl/message-new?2008+07+14+007+raw
 and, please, dont forget to type 6d 10f (explicit  definitions are more
 reliable) if you use  6-31G* basis set.
 Obviously, you can find in CCL many other messages of CCLers with correct route
 cards in similar cases.
 What ECP + basis set(s) are you better to use? It is difficult to answer. But
 there are general suggestions: dont forget polarization functions; triple
 exponential basis sets are more reliable than bi-exponential basis sets;
 possible, ECP (small core) from Stuttgart-Dresden group in more reliable than
 ECP from Los-Alamos.
 Sincerely,
 Ol Ga

 Could any body please tell me how to assign different basis sets
 for different atoms. 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
