Thank you so much for your response. I have remove the CPCM model. The dispersion energy was missing because I forgot to include keword p at the input line.

Agian, thank you so much. It works for me now.

Best regards,
Duc

The atom indices in the two fragments are not contigouous. Please look at atom 198, it is in the large molecule, but it was set to fragment 2 (which should completely correspond to the small molecule).

In addition, implicit solvation model should not be used when performing sobEDA. The solvent contribution should be manually calculated, please check the paragraph "Solvation effect: influence of solvation effect on ..." in page 7025 of sobEDA original paper. In other words, sobEDA.sh can only be directly used to carry out energy decomposition analysis in gas phase.

Best,

Tian

I am so sorry for the late response. I did not see your response. The attachment here is the input and the result I obtain from the sobEDA analysis.

Thank you so much for helping me look at this.

I are learning and trying to apply the sobEDA from Multiwfn to analyze the TS of my reaction. However, I got a result that is quite not right. I got a very large Pauli Repulsion Component and the Orbital Energy is 0. I don't know if it is normal or not.

Thank you so much,

Best regards,
Duc

Ps. this is the result I got out from sobEDA
