NAME¶
gausssum - parses the output of a Gaussian, GAMESS or HyperChem job
SYNOPSIS¶
gausssum [
filename]
DESCRIPTION¶
gausssum parses the output file of a Gaussian, GAMESS or HyperChem
computational chemistry job to extract useful information. It uses
gnuplot(1) to graphically display of the output. GaussSum can do the
following: (Gau=Gaussian, GAM=GAMESS, Hyp=HyperChem)
- •
- display all lines containing a certain phrase (any)
- •
- follow the progress of the SCF convergence (Gau,GAM)
- •
- follow the progress of a geometry optimisation (Gau,GAM)
- •
- extract molecular orbital information, including contributions of groups
of atoms to the molecular orbitals (Gau,GAM)
- •
- plot the density of states spectrum (and the partial density of states, in
the case of groups of atoms) (Gau,GAM)
- •
- plot the crystal orbital overlap population (COOP) spectrum, which gives
information on the bonding/anti-bonding nature of an overlap between
atoms/groups (Gau,GAM)
- •
- extract information on the UV-Vis transitions (Gau,Hyp), including the
change in the charge density of groups of atoms (Gau)
- •
- plot the UV-Vis spectrum (Gau,Hyp) and the circular dichroism spectrum
(Gau)
- •
- automate the creation of electron density difference maps, which visually
show the change in charge density associated with a given electronic
transition (Gau)
- •
- extract information on IR (Gau,GAM) and Raman vibrations (Gau)
- •
- plot the IR and Raman spectra, which may be scaled using general or
individual scaling factors (Gau)
