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.
symmetrystring<td>C1The 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.
