27.2 Running MRCC

The MRCC program is invoked by the command

MRCC,options
directives

The available options summarized in Table 9. For a detailed description please refer to the MRCC manual of M. Kallay (file ''manual'' the mrcc directory)

In MOLPRO the method to be used can be given as a string (option METHOD=string). The available methods and the corresponding MRCC input parameters (see MRCC manual) as specified in Table 10.

Directives are usually not necessary, but the CORE, OCC, ORBITAL, MAXIT, directives work as in the MOLPRO CCSD program. In addition, the number of states can be given on a STATE directive and this has the same meaning as the EOM_NSTATES option.

Table 9: Options for MRCC

Option	Alias	Default value$^a$	Meaning
METHOD	CALC	CC(n)	Computational method. See Table 10.
EXCITATION	LEVEL	-1	Excitation level in cluster operator
RESTART_CC	RESTART	0	Restart option. If 1, restart with previous amplitudes.
DIRECTORY	DIR	'  '	Subdirectory in which MRCC runs
			(necessary for restart jobs)
EOM_NSING	NSING	-1	Number of excited singlet states in closed-shell case
EOM_NTRIP	NTRIP	0	Number of excited triplet states in closed-shell case
EOM_NSTATES	NDOUB	-1	Number of states in open shell case.
SYMM	SYMMETRY	-1	Symmetry of excited states
DENSITY	IDENS	0	Parameter for density calculation
HF		1	1 for canonical Hartree-Fock orbitals, 0 otherwise
SPATIAL		1	0 for spin-restricted orbitals, 1 for spin-unrestricted orbitals
NACTO		0	Number of active occupied orbitals
NACTV		0	Number of active virtual orbitals
SACC		0	Spin-adapted coupled cluster
DBOC		0	Diagonal BO correction
MEMORY		-1	Memory
TOL	ENERGY	-1.0	Energy convergence threshold
FREQ		0.0	Frequency for dynamic polarizabilities
FILE		fort	Name for MRCC fortran files
CONVER	ICONV	0	See mrcc manual
CS		1	See mrcc manual
DIAG		0	See mrcc manual
MAXEX		0	See mrcc manual
a) -1 means default value taken from MOLPRO
