unable to locate singlet diradical in NWChem


Clicked A Few Times
Hi all,

I have already located the following diradical in gaussian 09 using guess=mix but unable to locate in NWChem. Here is the xyz of the diradical:

I tried to play around with the following things in NWChem but never ended up with the diradical as gaussian gave.

basis
 H library 6-31G*
N library 6-31G*
C library 6-31G*
end

Any help will be appreciated!

Thank you.
