Hi Julien,

I think you want to use the "noscf" keyword when constructing the dimer wavefunctions (see below). This gets around the issues related to the code thinking that the SCF did not converge.

 set geometry AntDimer
charge 1
scf
nopen 1
print "initial vector analysis"
uhf
vectors input fragment Ant1_N.mo Ant2_P.mo output Ant1_N_Ant2_P.mo
noscf
print mulliken
end
task scf

 set geometry AntDimer
charge 1
scf
nopen 1
print "initial vector analysis"
uhf
vectors input fragment Ant1_P.mo Ant2_N.mo output Ant1_P_Ant2_N.mo
noscf
print mulliken
end
task scf

Having said that I did have trouble getting something reasonable out of your test case. Essentially I got only 0 for the electron transfer coupling energy. So I am not sure whether you would expect that or not.

Best wishes, Huub
