#! /bin/sh # An illustration of the fragment feature of ADF. # A transition metal complex is built from a Nickel atom and four CO fragments. # The outcomes allows for an analysis (of molecular orbitals and the Bonding # energy) in terms of the fragment properties. It is a Single Point calculation. # Geometry optimization would not have been possible in this set-up because an # optimization requires that only single-atom fragments are used. # The three atoms are created first: C, O, and Ni. For Carbon and Oxygen a type- # DZ basis set is used (double-zeta) using the Basis key, while Ni gets a type- # TZP basis (triple-zeta plus polarization). # == CO == # The CO molecule, to serve as a fragment template in Ni(CO)4 , is computed from # the atomic fragments C and O. The coordinate values (atoms) are in bohr, # rather than in Angstrom because the unit-of-length is redefined by the key # units with subkey length. # The key scf is used to specify a somewhat tighter convergence criterion than # the default, just to illustrate how to do this (normal settings are quite # adequate). # The TAPE21 result file is renamed t21.CO. $ADFBIN/adf -n1 <
