    I am getting into a strange error where R2SCAN keyword is not recognized whereas I used it in similar systems many times. Theo only difference is this one UHF - is it not available in UHF?

      Hi job314,

      I tried to run your input (without the RESTART keyword), and it seems to work fine.
      Can you double-check the file used for the restart? Or eventually, can you try run the code without RESTART?

      Anyway, the proper way to perform a spin-polarized calculation in DFT is to use the SPIN keyword in the DFT block instead of UHF (but technically, both should work):

      [...]
      DFT
      SPIN
      R2SCAN
      XLGRID
      ENDdft
      [...]

        Thank you very much, that worked (but not restart)
