Dear Matt,

Thank you for your anwser. That was my initial expectation as well, but for 
some reason my output does not contain the lines. I suspect that I am 
missing something in my input, would it be possible for your to go over it, 
I attached it with this post?
It is a methoxy radical (something simple to understand how the input 
works). I did try to add the "multiplicity" keyword as well, but it seems 
that it is not necessary for this specific system as the results are the 
same.

Thank You in Advance,
Mario
