Q-Chem 5.1 User’s Manual

C.3 $rem Variable List

The general format of the $rem input for Q-Chem text input files is simply as follows:

$rem
   rem_variable   rem_option   [comment]
   rem_variable   rem_option   [comment]
$end

This input is not case sensitive. The following sections contain the names and options of available $rem variables for users. The format for describing each $rem variable is as follows:

REM_VARIABLE

A short description of what the variable controls


TYPE:

Defines the variable as either INTEGER, LOGICAL or STRING.


DEFAULT:

Describes Q-Chem’s internal default, if any exists.


OPTIONS:

Lists options available for the user


RECOMMENDATION:

Gives a quick recommendation.
