Abstract

A direct implementation of the reduced multiplication scheme of the Rys-Gauss quadrature in the computation of the second-order geometric derivatives for MCSCF wavefunctions is presented. Characteristics unique to this implementation are simultaneous evaluation of first- and second-order two-electron integral derivatives, compact representation of intermediate elements and efficient prescreening. Finally, a novel technique for the preconditioning of the response equations is reported. Applications sizing up to 510 basis functions are included in the presentation.
