MolBO

Generate NBO-47 file from the output file of MOLPRO.

Latest Version

Version 2.1.5 (07/04/2014).

  1. Some wrong comments in the source code have been corrected.
  2. The format of geometry is a little adjusted for NBO 6.

Features

  1. It reads basis sets, overlap matrix, Fork matrix, density matrix, ... from MOLPRO's output file (use GPRINT and MATROP commands to obtain these data; see the examples), and prepares NBO's *.47 file.
  2. It calculates Mayer's bond orders (MBO).
  3. Electronic densities can be calculated at the following levels of theory by MOLPRO: SCF (RHF, ROHF, UHF, RDFT, RODFT, UDFT; with or without density fitting), Post-HF (MP2, MP3, CCSD, QCISD, QCISD(T), EOM-CCSD, Full-CI), Local Post-HF (LMP2), multi-configurational methods (MCSCF or CASSCF, CASVB, MRCI including SRCI, CASPT2 including SRMP2).
  4. MOLPRO 2006 - 2010 and NBO 3.1, 5.x, and 6.x have been tested.

Limitations

  1. Symmetry equivalent atoms are not allowed. It is necessary to decrease the symmetry until all the atoms are symmetry unique. For example, use C2v for CO2, Cs for H2O, and C1 for CF4. If you want to use high symmetry in your MOLPRO calculation, please save a Molden file and try the Molden2AIM program.
  2. For a restart calculation of MOLPRO, do not use the permanent file 1.
  3. For the all-electron relativistic calculations (e.g. DKHn), do not print kinetic energy and potential energy matrices because they are non-relativistic.
