Charge Decomposition Analysis

Respected Prof. Tian Lu,
I have been trying to do CDA of an adduct for the last two months. Last week I was able to extract data, but I am still unable to view the isosurface of the orbitals. I have followed the exact procedure given in the manual, but I am still unable to find any option of viewing the isosurface. Please help!
Thanking you
Mudit

Re: Charge Decomposition Analysis

Dear Mudit,

After loading wavefunction file (complex or fragment) into Multiwfn, you can use main function 0 to visualize isosurface map of the orbital of interest, see Section 4.0 of manual for examplees.

Best,

Tian

Re: Charge Decomposition Analysis

Respected Prof. Tian,
When I use the main function 0 , which says Print CDA result and ECDA result, gives me the following output that I have copied below. I may be missing something important and also I am a new user. Please help me with this issue.

With regards,
Mudit

Re: Charge Decomposition Analysis

Respected Prof. Tian Lu,
Forgive me if I have troubled you by asking a silly question and maybe I have missed an important point. Please correct me and guide me in finding the procedure of finding the isosurface.

Yours sincerely
Mudit

Re: Charge Decomposition Analysis

Dear Mudit,

This is option 0 in CDA module, rather than main function 0.
After loading a wavefunction file, choose this:

                   ************ Main function menu ************
0 Show molecular structure and view orbitals
1 Output all properties at a point       2 Topology analysis
3 Output and plot specific property in a line
4 Output and plot specific property in a plane
5 Output and plot specific property within a spatial region (calc. grid data)
...

Best,

Tian

Re: Charge Decomposition Analysis

Respected Prof. Tian Liu,
I am now able to view the isosurface of the orbitals and also now I am able to study the complex formation. Now I shall be looking forward to use other functions of Multiwfn using the manual.   

Thank you so much for your kind support and help.

With regards,

Mudit
