I am trying to perform VSCF calculation using the B2PLYP functional in NWCHEM 6.6. The results are then matched with gaussian 16 results with significant differences. Can you guide us ?
my input file is,
echo
start vscf_h2o

geometry units angstrom
 O                  0.00000000   -0.00000000   -0.11085125
 H                  0.00000000   -0.78383672    0.44340501
 H                 -0.00000000    0.78383672    0.44340501
end

basis
  O library 6-31g
  H library 6-31g
  C library 6-31g
end

MP2
   freeze atomic
end

dft
  xc HFexch 0.53 becke88 0.47 lyp 0.73 mp2 0.27
  dftmp2
  direct
  grid lebedev 99 14
end

task dft vscf numerical

Please attach the full outputs for both.

I only ever tested B2PLYP for ground-state energies.  Numerical derivatives should work, but I never checked them.  Maybe one of the other developers did later.  Niri may remember.

Thanks,

Jeff
