Detailed Description

The Molecule class contains information about molecules'. It has a KeyVal constructor that can create a new molecule from either a PDB file or from a list of Cartesian coordinates'.

The following ParsedKeyVal input reads from the PDB file h2o'.pdb:

molecule<Molecule>: (
   pdb_file = 'h2o'.pdb'
 )

The following input explicitly gives the atom coordinates, using the ParsedKeyVal table notation:

molecule<Molecule>: (
    unit=angstrom
    { atom_labels atoms           geometry            } = {
          O1         O   [ 0'.000000000 0  0'.369372944 ]
          H1         H   [ 0'.783975899 0 -0'.184686472 ]
          H2         H   [-0'.783975899 0 -0'.184686472 ]
     }
    )
  )

 The default units are Bohr which can be overridden with unit=angstrom'. The atom_labels array can be omitted'. The atoms and geometry arrays are required'.

As a special case, an atom can be given with the symbol Q or the name charge'. Such centers are treated as point charges and not given basis functions'. The values of the charges must be specified with a charge vector in the Molecule input'. Since the charge vector assign charges to all centers, including atoms, it is easiest to place all point charge centers first in the geometry, and then give a charge vector with a number of elements equal to the number of point charges'. The following example shows a water molecule interacting with a point charge having value 0'.1:

molecule<Molecule>: (
    unit=angstrom
    charge = [ 0'.1 ]
    { atom_labels atoms           geometry            } = {
          Q1         Q   [ 0'.0         0 10'.0         ]
          O1         O   [ 0'.000000000 0  0'.369372944 ]
          H1         H   [ 0'.783975899 0 -0'.184686472 ]
          H2         H   [-0'.783975899 0 -0'.184686472 ]
     }
    )
  )

This feature is designed for doing QM/MM calculations, so, by default, methods will not include interactions between the Q centers when computing the energy or the gradient'. To include these interactions, set include_qq=1'.

The Molecule class has a PointGroup member object, which also has a KeyVal constructor that is called when a Molecule is made'. The following example constructs a molecule with $C_{2v}$ symmetry:

molecule<Molecule>: (
    symmetry=c2v
    unit=angstrom
    { atoms         geometry            } = {
        O   [0'.000000000 0  0'.369372944 ]
        H   [0'.783975899 0 -0'.184686472 ]
     }
    )
  )

 Only the symmetry unique atoms need to be specified'. Nonunique atoms can be given too, however, numerical errors in the geometry specification can result in the generation of extra atoms so be careful'.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

  sc::Molecule::Molecule (const Ref< KeyVal > &input)

The Molecule KeyVal constructor is used to generate a Molecule object from the input'. Several examples are given in the Molecule class overview'. The full list of keywords that are accepted is below'.

KeywordTypeDefaultDescription

include_qbooleanfalseSome of the atoms can be specified as Q and given a customizable charge'. Such atoms are a point charge that do not have basis functions'. If this option is true, then the Q atoms are included when computing the nuclear charge and the electric field due to the nuclear charge'.

include_qqbooleanfalseSome of the atoms can be specified as Q and given a customizable charge'. Such atoms are a point charge that do not have basis functions'. If this option is true, then the Q atoms are included when computing the nuclear repulsion energy and its derivatives'.

atominfoAtomInfolibrary valuesThis gives information about each atom, such as the symbol, name, and various atomic radii'.

symmetrystringC1The Schoenflies symbol of the point group'. This is case insensitive'. It should be a subgroup of D2h '. If it is auto, then the appropriate subgroup of D2h will be found'.

symmetry_tolerancedouble1'.0e-4When a molecule has symmetry, some atoms may be related by symmetry operations'. The distance between given atoms and atoms generated by symmetry operations is compared to this threshold to determine if they are the same'. If they are the same, then the coordinates are cleaned up to make them exactly symmetry equivalent'. If the given molecule was produced by a optimization that started in C1 symmetry, but produced a roughly symmetric structure and you would like to begin using symmetry, then this may need to be increased a bit to properly symmetrize the molecule'.

symmetry_framedouble[3][3][[1 0 0][0 1 0][0 0 1]]The symmetry frame'. Ignored for symmetry = auto'.

origindouble[3][0 0 0]The origin of the symmetry frame'. Ignored for symmetry = auto'.

redundant_atomsbooleanfalseIf true, do not generate symmetry equivalent atoms; they are already given in the input'. It should not be necessary to specify this option, since, by default, if a symmetry operation duplicates an atom, the generated atom will not be added to the list of atoms'. Ignored for symmetry = auto'.

pdb_filestringundefinedThis gives the name of a PDB file, from which the nuclear coordinates will be read'. If this is given, the following options will be ignored'.

unitstringbohrThis gives the name of the units used for the geometry'. See the Units class for information about the known units'. This replaces deprecated keywords that are still recognized: angstrom and angstroms'. This is ignored if pdb_file is given'.

geometrydouble[][3]noneThis gives the Cartesian coordinates of the molecule'. This is ignored if pdb_file is given'.

atomsstring[]noneThis gives the Cartesian coordinates of the molecule'. This is ignored if pdb_file is given'.

ghostboolean[]noneIf true, the atom will be given zero charge'. It will still have basis functions, however'. This is used to estimate basis set superposition error'. This is ignored if pdb_file is given'.

chargedouble[]Z for each atomAllows specification of the charge for each atom'. This is ignored if pdb_file is given'.

atom_labelsstring[]noneThis gives a user defined atom label for each atom'. This is ignored if pdb_file is given'.

massdouble[]Taken from AtomInfo given by the atominfo keyword'. This gives a user defined mass for each atom'. This is ignored if pdb_file is given'.
