CCL:G: how G03 builds promolecule density for Hirshfeld population analysis?



 Sent to CCL by: "Nuno A. G. Bandeira" [nuno.bandeira[]ist.utl.pt]
 Dear Alvaro,
 Hirshfeld charges are an experimental feature in Gaussian03.
 
If you run tests with any model you will obtain nonsensical results for Hirshfeld charges.
 
Regarding LiF question the Hirshfeld definition states that the promolecule is always built up from the neutral atomic constituents in their ground state i.e. rho(r) = Sum (rho_at) where rho_at is the atomic ground state density of each atom.
 Cheers,
 Nuno
