Dear Sachin Tyagi,
I prepared special for you an example. Please, see it below. I think you were
better to include your input (possible a part of your input) in your first
message.
Sincerely,
Ol Ga

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.
