Dear all,

I have recently implemented B97 into ORCA's TDDFT part. For comparison, I chose QCHEM and NWCHEM. For the first few singlet excitations of CH2O, I obtained the following values in eV:

QCHEM      NWCHEM
3.9854     4.2181
6.8489     7.0074
8.1122     8.2836
8.1203     8.2844
8.6866     8.7784
9.0941     9.4966

i.e. the numbers differ by tenths of eV. Since I was able to reproduce the QCHEM values with ORCA, I am confident in them.

The NW ground state energy as well as one-electron and core-core-repulsion is fine, as well as the MO energies of the occupied block. A possible explanation are wrong functional derivatives of B97.

Since other functionals like PBE0, HFS, CAM-B3LYP etc. look fine, I am confident in having chosen accurate parameters for each program involved. If someone would like output files or the deviation spreadsheet, I will be happy to provide them.

Missing analytical second derivatives for Becke97 functional in NWChem
Dear Tar,
You are quite on target in stating that you have uncovered a bug in NWChem.
Since analytical second derivatives for the Becke97 functional have not been coded yet in NWChem,
the code should have stopped before entering the TDDFT module.
We will soon provide a fix to prevent the code to generate the erroneous results you have shown.

Cheers, Edo

Dear Edoapra,

thank you for the clarification and the patch. In case the NWCHEM team is interested in the analytical code, I can provide you with the C++ routines, that can easily be converted to F90 as well as adapted to other, similar functionals.

Dear Tar,
Thank you very much for offering to share your code.
We do value this kind of contributions.
Let's continue this discussion using the PM tool.

Anyone could tell me - why I can't create a new thread? It says " The specified URL cannot be found"

Thanks

Most likely because you are posting a message that contains words or characters that the system sees as hacking attacks. For example, kompile with k instead of c works. Some other linux commands have the same issues.
