Dear colleagues:

I'm using MOPAC6 to calculate the atomic electron density in indole.
I found that the atomic electron densities calculated by MOPAC are quite different from those
reported in the literature (Theoret. Chim. Acta, 1970, 16, 22-32). For instance, Mopac reports
that the electron density for the N atom in indole is 5.2213 (using AM1) while the one reported
in the literature is 1.69.
Could anybody please tell me why  the huge difference?
I'll post a summary.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Guillermo.
