Geometry Input

Procedure, a) Using the procedure shown in constructing the ethylene input file, construct an approximate input file for HjO. The atom type for oxygen is 6. The approximate input geometry can be taken as in File 4-.5, where all of the c-eourdinates are set at 0. Go to the tinker directory in the MS-DOS operating system and create an input (ile for your II2O calculation. Be sure the extension of the input file is. xyz. Rename or edit the (ile as neeessaiy. 

The program uses two ASCII input files for the SCF and properties stages of the calculation. There is a text output file as well as a number of binary or ASCII data files that can be created. The geometry is entered in fractional coordinates for periodic dimensions and Cartesian coordinates for nonperiodic dimensions. The user must specify the symmetry of the system. The input geometry must be oriented according to the symmetry axes and only the symmetry-unique atoms are listed. Some aspects of the input are cumbersome, such as the basis set specification. However, the input format is documented in detail.

Conformational results are often sensitive to the input geometry used. For instance, Pullman at at. (68) carried out two PCILO calculations for mescaline, using the x-ray crystal geometries obtained for the hydrobromide and hydrochloride salts these salts exist in gauche and extended conformations, respectively. 

We find that the VEH results are qualitatively unaffected by small differences in input geometries. This is illustrated... 

Steps (l)-(7) take an input geometry and calculate its energy levels (the elements of e) and their MOs or wavefunctions (the ij/ s from the c s, the elements of C, and the basis functions 0). Now, clearly any method in which the energy of a molecule depends on its...
