Dimer Method in Q-Chem 6.2

Questions
#1

Hello,
I have a question regarding the dimer method. So in the manual for Q-Chem 6.2 it is said that the dimer method is available for transition state search in Q-Chem. Maybe I missed something, but I was not able to find the keyword to call the dimer method. Additionally, can I use the dimer method with distortion models such aus EFEI or GOSTSHYP?
Thanks in advance

I see what you mean, and based on the literature citations in the manual I believe this may refer to some external code (a wrapper, basically) that used to ship with Q-Chem many years ago but has since been deprecated. If so, we should delete this from the manual but please contact Q-Chem support to be sure.

Thanks for your reply. In this case I will contact the support.

I have determined that this code was removed for the v. 6.1.0 release, but the corresponding text in the manual was not deleted. I have done that now, so that it will no longer be mentioned in the manual. This was a stand-alone driver that I guess Q-Chem staff decided was too much trouble to support.

Tanks for having a look and your help. As suggested, I reached out to the support and now have found a working routine. :slight_smile:
