How do you calculate the change in dipole moment from ground to first excited state using ORCA?
How do you calculate the change in dipole moment from the ground to first excited state using ORCA? I have done DFT to get the dipole moment at the ground state and TDDFT of this neutral molecule. How ...

Analytic gradient for DLPNO-CCSD
Is there a formula for analytical gradients (for geometry optimization) for the DLPNO-CCSD method? I ask because I know that it is not implemented in ORCA. Maybe PNO-CCSD is implemented in MRCC or ...

I ran TDDFT on some small molecules. For some files, the ORCA output files cut short and contain no absorption data. What could be the reason?
Below is just the end of the output file, and the top of the input file. This is for the molecule FDICTF. The calculation did not run out of time. I ran a batch of 15 molecules, all with same ...

Defining coordinates using Vector3
I am trying to implement a tether restraint in the MM region of my QM/MM calculation using pDynamo (CHARMM/ORCA interface). I need to define the origin as a Vector3. Does anyone know how to do this?

Constraining a set of atoms in the MM region using pDynamo (CHARMM/ORCA interface)
I am trying to perform a QM/MM optimization in which my substrate is in the MM region. However when this happens there are significant changes to the geometry (undesired). I want to avoid fixing all ...

How to swap orbitals in ORCA?
I am trying to swap orbitals for a high-spin iron(IV) complex. The orbitals that correspond to the iron are not in any of the SOMOs.
I am using the pDynamo QM/MM program, which is an interface for ...

What is the largest system that has been studied by the coupled cluster method?
This is parallel to the analogous question about the largest DFT calculation: What is the largest material that has been studied using density functional theory?
I assume we allow high performance ...
