ET coupling is large
I am trying to calculate the diabatic coupling between an organic molecule (donor) and oxygen (triplet ground state) molecule with
that in the charge transfer state (donor+) and (oxygen -). The total spin of the system is triplet.
When I calculate the coupling in nwchem using et module, I got very large values (> 20 eV).
Can anybody tell me what is going wrong?
