Polarizability Error: "AO Mux" has an unrecognized shape

Although I have successfully run this command before, I am now running into problems:

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

Here’s an example input where it DOES works for me (for water):

The punchline seems to be:

AO Mux" has an unrecognized shape

but I honestly don’t know. The full fail output is as follows (thanks in advance for any help!):

Hi,

I cannot reproduce the error. Neither with v1.3.2 nor the dev version.
Did you specify a scratch directory? If not try it out (export PSI_SCRATCH=/path/ or psi4 -s /path/ <options>)

this is my bad. I posted the input file for H2O, which DOES work (I should have clarified).

The following is an example of a molecule that DOES NOT work for me:

I can reproduce it. There is a bug that occurs when linear dependencies in the basis are removed.

To continue with your calculations, either use a less diffuse basis set (e.g. jun-cc-pVTZ) or increase the overlap tolerance to not remove any MOs and the risk of SCF troubles:
set s_tolerance 1e-9

A bug fix has been submitted and will soon be available in the development version: https://github.com/psi4/psi4/pull/1999

thanks very much! The ‘set s_tolerance 1e-9’ did the trick.

Please mark it solved. Thanks.
