Hi,
Il am trying to run a DFT calculation using both one of Pople's basis sets and the LANL2DZ ECP, which are respectively defined with cartesian and spherical-harmonics angular functions. First, I did not specify the "SPHERICAL" keyword in the basis block and the calculation ended successfully but I got the following warning :
- WARNING Zero Coefficient **** on atom "Au"
angular momentum value: 0 standard basis set name: "lanl2dz ecp"
And the calculation did use 6 d orbitals. Should I ignore this warning? Is the "SPHERICAL" keyword essential when using LANL2DZ? Since the Pople's basis is only used for hydrogen and carbons atom without any d orbital, would it be better to set "SPHERICAL"? Would that affect at all the basis on those atoms?
Thank you,
Chloe
