MOLECULE Section
The MOLECULE section specifies molecular-level properties.
Keywords
| Keyword | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Charge | integer | 0 | Molecular charge |
Multiplicity | integer | 1 | Spin multiplicity (2S+1) |
Units | Angstrom | Bohr | Angstrom | Coordinate units for geometry |
Example
MOLECULE
Charge 0
Multiplicity 1
Units Angstrom
END
For charged systems:
MOLECULE
Charge -1
Multiplicity 2
Units Bohr
END
Notes
- The
Unitssetting applies to theGEOMETRYsection coordinates. ChargeandMultiplicitycan also be specified on thetask:line or in theGEOMETRYcomment line (legacy), but theMOLECULEsection is the preferred way.
