A Lagrangian based approach was used to obtain analytic formulas for GVVPT2 energy nuclear gradients. The formalism can use either complete or incomplete model (or reference) spaces, and is limited, in this regard, only by the capabilities of the MCSCF program. An efficient means of evaluating the gradient equations is described. Demonstrative calculations were performed and compared with finite difference calculations on several molecules and show that the GVVPT2 gradients are accurate. Of particular interest, the suggested formalism can straightforwardly use state-averaged MCSCF descriptions of the reference space in which the states have arbitrary weights. This capability is demonstrated by some calculations on the ground and first excited singlet states of LiH, including calculations near an avoided crossing. The accuracy and usefulness of the GVVPT2 method and its gradient are highlighted by comparing the geometry of the near-C(2v) minimum on the conical intersection seam between the 1 (1)A(1) and 2 (1)A(1) surfaces of O(3) with values that were calculated at the multireference configuration interaction, including single and double excitations (MRCISD), level of theory.
