7.10 Restricted Active Space Spin-Flip (RAS-SF) and Configuration Interaction (RAS-CI)

7.10.7 Examples

Example 7.104  Input for a RAS-2SF-CI calculation of three states of the DDMX tetraradical using RASCI1. The active space (RAS2) contains 4 electrons in the 4 singly occupied orbitals in the ROHF quintet reference. Natural orbital occupancies are requested.
