Energy value using Gaussian
Hi. Dear.
I optimized a transition metal complex at two different spin states as Doublet and Quartet using Gaussian UDFT. Now, I want to calculate the energy difference between the two spin states. For this, I could see two energy values E(UB3LYP) as highlighted in yellow in the attached picture. Which energy value should I consider. Either highlighted on the right side or left side of the image. The attached image is screenshot from .log file at doublet state.
Thank You so much

Re: Energy value using Gaussian
I do not recommend to check result using "Summary" interface of gview, sometimes the data is misleading. For unrestricted B3LYP calculation, always manually check E(UB3LYP) printed last time.

How I can check manually? I didn't get you. Thank you!

Re: Energy value using Gaussian
Could you please make it little more clearer so I can better understand. Because I can see SCF Done= E(UB3LYP) in various places in .log file. I do not know exactly which E(UB3LYP) is the optimized energy.

Re: Energy value using Gaussian
Hi! Dear Sir!
Sir, I want to ask something from you if you could find some free time to answer my query. I would be very thankful to you!
I have optimized some transition metal complexes using B3LYP/6-31G* by Gaussian09. I want to calculate descriptors using Codessa software. So, can I directly use output files from Gaussian (.log files) as input files in Codessa for descriptor calculations? If so, then please share some references. I also need to cite Thank you so much for your time.
