Dear XTB team,
I have a doubt about the calculation of the overlap matrix in XTB. For this simple calculation in XTB:
input.xyz
The overlap and coefficient matrix were dumped by adding a couple lines to properties.F90 and the basis was obtained from the molden file generated by XTB
This is the basis
and this is the overlap
overlap matrix
The same calculation in pyscf gives a different overlap matrix, which agrees with orca
This is the pyscf input
and this is the overlap matrix
The non-diagonal term is different (0.05351956 vs. 0.17976632)
So I guess there could be some different convention for the basis set printed in molden which makes this difference. Some orientation about this issue is greatly welcomed.
Thanks
Best
Daniel
