<p>
The default molecular orbital file
$file_prefix$.movecs is used unless a VECTORS
subdirective is provided in the PROPERTY directive. It is therefore
necessary to include a VECTORS directive if the MO
vectors to be analyzed are not coming from the default
file, e.g., if they have been previously redirected, or if
MP2 natural orbitals (file extension ".mp2nos") are
being anaylzed. So, to calculate MP2 properties, a PROPERTY
block directive similar to the one in the following example would
be appropriate:
<pre>
start h2o
title; Water MP2 properties example
geometry
O 0 0 0
H 0 1.430 1.107
H 0 -1.430 1.107
end
basis
H library sto-3g
O library sto-3g
end
task mp2
property
octupole
efield
vectors h2o.mp2nos
end
task property
</pre>

<font color="purple">My high symmetry MP2 calculation is taking longer that it
should. Why is this?
</font>
<p>
Currently MP2 can only use Abelian point groups and does not have descent of
symmetry implemented (meaning that it does not know how to use a proper
Abelian point group instead of an input non-Abelian group). The user must
define the proper Abelian point group, orient the molecule into this point
group, and then run the MP2.
