Strange scf convergence between CCSDT and CCSD(T) scf for Iron

Dear developers

I am running a CCSD(T)/PVQZ and CCSDT/PVQZ computation on Fe. I'm experiencing something very odd wrt scf convergence. The CCSD(T)/PVQZ scf does not converge while the scf portion of CCSDT/PVQZ does. Does the hand coded CCSD code call a different scf solver? I'm attaching the inputs of the two. This has been ran on a binary of the Feb 2019 version.



occ=6,1,1,1,0,2,2,2/5,0,0,0,0,2,2,2
basis=cc-pvqz
calc=CCSD(T)
mult=5
mem=60000MB
scftol=9
scftype=uhf
scfmaxit=100
ccmaxit=100

Hi bkxw97,
You can force the post-scf integrals to be the same in multiple runs, by using iface=cfour.

This tricks mrcc into thinking that the integrals are from cfour, so instead of doing another scf, it just reads the fort.55 file in the folder.

There's another way but it doesn't work for excited states, whereas this method works always.

With best wishes,
Nike

Sorry, I cannot reproduce this problem, the SCF converges in neither of the cases for me. You shouldn't use that tight convergence criterion, it converges with the default criterion. You can also use level shifting, which improves the convergence.

edit: fixed the issue

For the Ni atom mult=3 should be set.

I have had a V atom CCSD(T) computation fail with the following error
