[CP2K-user] [CP2K:16657] Ignored Convergence Criteria For UKS Triplet Calculation

Hi all,

I'm trying to run a single point calculation of a triplet organometallic 
complex. Under my DFT section I use the following keywords:

        &DFT
                BASIS_SET_FILE_NAME BASIS_MOLOPT
                POTENTIAL_FILE_NAME GTH_POTENTIALS
                UKS TRUE
                MULTIPLICITY 3
                ....
                ....
        &END

Although I have set EPS_DEFAULT to 1E-7, the change in energy during my SCF 
cycle goes down to about 1E-14 but the calculation continues regardless. If 
I change my multiplicity to 1, then the calculation has no problems (except 
that now I have a singlet). Normaly I would just take the energy from the 
last SCF cycle, but I plan on performing geometry optimizations in the 
future and would like to have CP2K to move onto the next step once the 
iteration has reached convergence.

I have attatched my input and output, I'm using ver 7.1.


On another note, I came across this in the manual:

Section COUPLING 
<https://manual.cp2k.org/cp2k-7_1-branch/index.html#CP2K_INPUT/FORCE_EVAL/MIXED/COUPLING.html>

   - *Coupling between two force_eval: E=(E1+E2 - 
   sqrt((E1-E2)**2+4*H12**2))/2*


   - Section path: CP2K_INPUT 
   <https://manual.cp2k.org/cp2k-7_1-branch/CP2K_INPUT.html> / FORCE_EVAL 
   <https://manual.cp2k.org/cp2k-7_1-branch/CP2K_INPUT/FORCE_EVAL.html> / 
   MIXED 
   <https://manual.cp2k.org/cp2k-7_1-branch/CP2K_INPUT/FORCE_EVAL/MIXED.html>
    / COUPLING 
   <https://manual.cp2k.org/cp2k-7_1-branch/CP2K_INPUT/FORCE_EVAL/MIXED/COUPLING.html>

Is there a reference for the above equation? Is H12 defined anywhere?

Thanks!
