Dear Professor Lu,
This is good news! It saved my day!
Kind regards, Georg
Dear Professor Lu,
I am using ETS-NOCV extensively, and I gained valuable information and knowledge about my molecules, for which I would like to express my gratitude!
Now I am facing a problem: I would like to examine ETS-NOCV interaction for a carboxyl anion with Zn(2+). Since I have learned that diffuse functions (which are said to be necessary for anions) should not be used with ETS-NOCV, I tried to use the strategy you have described in the manual:
" Note that diffuse functions should never be used since
SCPA method is incompatible with them. If you really have to use diffuse functions, after
performing ETS-NOCV analysis, you should return to main menu (in this case the orbitals in
memory is NOCV orbitals) and then use main function 8 to compute orbital composition via e.g.
Hirshfeld or Becke method, which works normally when diffuse functions are presented."
However I did not understand how I should connect the results of Hirshfeld analysis with my ETS-NOCV-pairs.
Could you help me with that?
Thank you in advance!
Kind regards, Georg
Dear Prof. Lu,
Thank you for your advice!

Dear Prof. Lu,
Thank you for your reply!
I am looking forward to use your latest application in Multiwfn, this is a very interesting topic.
Concerning my topic of extremely high electrostatic and polarization energies in GAMESS-US EDA, I did some further investigations, which I would like to share, in case you or the members of the forum are interested in.
GAMESS - EDA is described in lit. J. Chem. Phys. 131, 014102 (2009) by Peifeng Su and Hui Li.
It seems that electrostatic energy ( 50676.28 kcal/mol) in GAMESS EDA involves a huge interaction energy, which is mostly neutralized by the polarization energy (-50782.52 kcal/mol). Indeed, adding these two terms gives −106,24 kcal/mol, which sounds quite reasonable.
Also the total fragment interaction energy is calculated correctly, as I have been able to reproduce these values by calculating them "by hand". Hence, the mathematics behind it seems to be OK.
It seems, as far as I have read the study above, that nucleus-nucleus repulsion energy for the complex molecule (E-nuc-X) is involved in the calculation of the KS-orbitals of the fragments (instead of E-nuc frag only), resulting in a huge positive electrostatic energy term. This results (seemingly) in a correspondingly large Delta - E, when comparing it to the final, SCF - calculated complex electron structure. This large Delta - E is represented in GAMESS - EDA polarization energy.
However, I am not definitely sure about that yet.
The repulsion energy calculated in GAMESS-US EDA might be an equivalent to Pauli Repulsion, since it is calculated in the same manner by switching from nonorthonormal to orthonormal wavefunction, as described in GAMESS-US output.

However, I am not sure about that either, since I am not very familiar with Löwdin orthonormalization.
If anyone knows some literature concerning Löwdin orthonormalization, I would be thankful if this literature is shared.
Kind regards,

Dear Prof. Lu,
Thank you very much for providing ETS-NOCV within Multiwfn.
I have tried to combine EDA-results as provided in GAMESS-US with ETS-NOCV from Multiwfn.
The result for ETS-NOCV for my fragmented molecule is:
"Sum of NOCV eigenvalues: 0.00002
Sum of pair energies: -38.70 kcal/mol"
As far as I have understood, the Delta-E-orb consists mainly of inter- and intrafragent polarization energies.
However, when calculating the same molecule (with the same fragmentation) with GAMESS-US, RUNTYP=EDA,
one gets as a result:
SUMMARY OF CMOEDA RESULTS
- PEIFENG SU AND HUI LI -
*******************************
-------------
OWN BASIS SET HARTREE KCAL/MOL
-------------
ELECTROSTATIC ENERGY ES= 80.757731 50676.28
EXCHANGE ENERGY EX= -0.014236 -8.93
REPULSION ENERGY REP= 0.117956 74.02
POLARIZATION ENERGY POL= -80.927031 -50782.52
DFT DISPERSION ENERGY DISP= -0.017444 -10.95
TOTAL INTERACTION ENERGY HF OR DFT E= -0.083025 -52.10
Obviously, the polarization energy obtained with the latter is much larger than with ETS-NOCV.
This has lead to my questions: Are there different definitions used for polarization / electrostatic energy?
Is the repulsion energy calculated by GAMESS an equivalent to the Pauli Repulsion mentioned in Multiwfn manual?
Thank you very much in advance for your reply!
Kind regards,
Georg
