Dear all, after getting two constrained-dft states, how to get the electron trasfer coupling from them? I tried the ET task with the two dft vectors, but an error message was given "dft et task was not implemented", thx

Which version of NWChem are you running. I cannot locate the error message in the current release version.

Dear Bert, I'm using NWChem 5.1.1, below is the full error message Electron Transfer for DFT has not been implemented. NWChem will skip this task!. hf et failed current input line : 51: task hf et

The error message is correct. This has only been implemented for Hartree-Fock.

according to the paper "Extracting electron transfer coupling elements from constrained density functional theory." by Wu Q, Van Voorhis T. in J Chem Phys. 2006 Oct 28;125(16):164105.: the electronic coupling can be calculated through constrained dft (cdft) and this has been implemented in NWChem, it's not difficult to do cdft calculation, but how is an electronic coupling calculation done?

Hi the topic is already few months old but I downloaded the latest developer's version 'NWChem source code February 06, 2013' which is still 6.1.1 and <task dft et> still generats an error. Is there any way to repeat calculations proposed by Wu & Van Voorhis? Best wishes Adam

An external contributor Erik McNellis is working with us and Wu to get this implemented. It will not make this release, but will be made available as soon as its ready in a subsequent developers release. Bert

Is it not valid to use "task SCF ET" with molecular orbitals generated using CDFT?

I see the problem now... Is it valid to do CDFT using hfexch then use the SCF ET module?

That should work. Bert

Bert Hi, Could you please tell me whether this function (ET coupling computed at the CDFT level) has been implemented in the lastest version of NWCHEM? Thanks! Best wishes John
