Polarizability Error & Radical Anion

I am trying to calculate the polarizability for a radical anion using:

psi4.properties("b3lyp-d3bj/aug-cc-pVTZ", properties=["DIPOLE_POLARIZABILITIES", "MULLIKEN_CHARGES", "DIPOLE"])

And with:

set reference uks

I have no problem optimizing this structure at the same level theory and reference, but for the property calculations, I get the errors:


    Dipole polarizabilities

I’d appreciate any help. Thanks!

Thanks for the report. This is a bug in Psi4. Based on the error message, I suspect this will be an easy one to fix. I’ll investigate and report back.

This bugfix will not be included in 1.4.

Thanks! I’ll look forward to the fix.

Hey,

Just a quick ping to see if this has been fix.

tanks,

Scott

No. Developers have been busy with some other features, so I haven’t had time to check in with the person who volunteered to take this one up.
