4.3 Basic SCF Job Control

4.3.4 Examples

(July 14, 2022)

Provided below are examples of Q-Chem input files to run ground state, HF single point energy calculations.

Example 4.2  Example Q-Chem input for a single point energy calculation on water. Note that the declaration of the single point $rem variable is redundant because it is the same as the Q-Chem default.

   oh  =   1.2
   hoh = 120.0

Example 4.3  UHF/6-311G calculation on the Li atom. Note that correlation and the job type were not indicated because Q-Chem defaults automatically to no correlation and single point energies. Note also that, since the number of α and β electron differ, MOs default to an unrestricted formalism.
