			<description><![CDATA[<p>It is frequently asked how to use Multiwfn to perform wavefunction for fch file produeced by ONIOM task of Gaussian. In this post I would like to describe this point.</p><p>By default, the fch file converted from chk file of ONIOM task via formchk doesn&#039;t record wavefunction information, that means it is impossible to use Multiwfn to perform wavefunction for it.</p><p>Actually, the orbitals calculated by different levels in ONIOM are recorded in different fields of chk file, -XY option of formchk should be explicitly used to decide which part will be extracted, the meaning of X and Y is shown below</p><p>X: L, M, H corresponds to Low, Medium, High computational levels, respectively<br />Y: L, M, S corresponds to Large, Medium, Small regions, respectively.</p><p>In the situation of ONIOM2 (i.e. two levels are involved in ONIOM), there are three cases:</p><p>Using high computational level to calculate &quot;model&quot;: -MS<br />Using low computational level to calculate &quot;model&quot;: -LS<br />Using low computational level to calculate &quot;real&quot;: -LM<br />in this context, &quot;real&quot; refers to the whole system, and &quot;model&quot; refers to high layer atoms.</p><p>Therefore, for an ONIOM(QM:MM) task, if you want to use Multiwfn to conduct wavefunction analysis for the high layer calculated by QM, you should use &quot;formchk -MS xxx.chk&quot; to convert xxx.chk to xxx.fch.</p><p>I found the above method works for Linux version, but for Windows version the aforementioned option of formchk doesn&#039;t work properly, at least for G16 B.01.</p>]]></description>
