Hello,
I'm trying to calculate condensed Fukui indices. I am using Mopac 7.01
and I am doing the calculations with the PM3 hamiltonian.
My problem occurs when I try and calculate mulliken charges for the
molecule with N+1 and N-1 electrons (where N is the number of electrons
in the neutral molecules).
For the N+1 case my keyword line is
PM3 doublet charge=1 mullik
However though the calculation for the neutral molecule takes less than
a minute for the above case the calculation does not end after 5
minutes. Is this to be expected or am I doing something wrong?
I tried adding mmok and geo-ok since the structures are already geometry
optimized but that does'nt help. Is it correct to be using a PM3
hamiltonian for such systems?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks,
