Hi, I'm trying to use geometry adjust and zcoord to do a PES scan which I have done before but am getting problems. This involves the approach of a solvent ligand towards a metal centre and was initially having trouble I think because they were too far part and the autoz was failing. I increased cvr_scalling from 1.3 to 2.5 to compensate based on advise in another thread and it seemed to stop crashing and is running, however, the bond I am specifying to remain constant during optimisation is most definitely not remaining of constant length... I specify 3.86 angstroms in the first step, it reduced to 3.7, in the second step (3.84 angstroms) it elongates to 7.74... where have I gone wrong in my input, I presumable have misunderstood the cvr_scaling bit as I assumed that this merely told the program how far things could be away from each other to be bonded and therefore appear in zmat...
geometry adjust
zcoord
cvr_scaling 2.5
bond 3 31 3.86 RuN constant
end
end
dft
vectors atomic
end
driver
maxiter 500
xyz 386
end
task dft optimize
