NACs for highly excited states with EOM-CCSD

Questions
#1

Hello,

I want to calculate the NACs between inner valence excited states of a water dimer. In particular I focus on the states with excitation from orbital 4.
I thought of using EOM-CCSD. As the CVS-EOM-CCSD couplings are not implemented I thought of doing a normal SCF and then reorder the MOs such as that orbital number 4 goes in place of the HOMO (number 10) and then freeze all orbitals below.

However from the results it doesn’t seem working the reordering of the MOs.
How can this be done?

Here’s my input:

$end

$occupied

$end

Thank you very much in advance

You should be using $reorder_mo instead of $occupied. Do an SCF calculation with “GEN_SCFMAN = false” and $reorder_mo section, and then read the SCF solution with “MAX_SCF_CYCLES = 0” in the EOM-CC calculation with all but one orbital in the occupied valence space. Not sure if the results will be reliable with such a super-truncated occupied space, but that is for you to figure out.
