great line from Gaussian manual
July 9, 2007 at 8:00 pm | sam | softwareI’m not a huge fan of the Gaussian online manual. Maybe I’m spoiled by Matlab, but G03MANTOP is soooooo confusing and not user-friendly. Even William thinks it’s tough to understand. Here’s my favorite line I’ve found:
CIS Output. There are no special features or pitfalls with CI-Singles input.
Maybe this isn’t funny to everyone, but I just like the idea that they didn’t add any special pitfalls to the CIS input format.
(BTW, that claim is bull. I haven’t been able to get my CIS calcs to work too good so far.)

Intresting post about “G”.
That comment on “reported” and “banned” is closer to truth than you might think.

CIS is one of the least accurate methods for excited state calculations. For low-lying states, why don’t you use CI or EOM-CC with ACES2? It is far more accurate.

Yes, I know that CIS isn’t ideal. Which is why I gave up on it. Thanks for the suggestions, I’ll check those out!
