Calling Sequence

ChargesPlot(molecule, method, options)

Parameters

molecule

-

list of lists; each list has 4 elements, the string of an atom's symbol and atom's x, y, and z coordinates

method

-

(optional)  method = name/procedure where name is one of 'HartreeFock' (default), 'DensityFunctional','ActiveSpaceCI',  'ActiveSpaceSCF', 'CoupledCluster', 'FullCI', 'MP2', 'Variational2RDM', 'Parametric2RDM','ContractedSchrodinger'

options

-

(optional) equation(s) of the form option = value where option is any valid option of the chosen method

Description

• 

The procedure ChargesPlot displays the charges of each atom based on atomic-orbital populations.

• 

Colors of the atoms in a ball-and-stick model convey the charges of the atoms.

• 

Positive charges in the range from 0 to 0.4 are indicated by shades of red, changing from white at 0 to dark red at 0.4.

• 

Negative charges in the range from 0 to -0.4 are indicated by shades of blue, changing from white at 0 to dark blue at -0.4.

Examples
