10.9.3 Job Control for the MOProp Module

(April 13, 2024)

The MOProp module is invoked by specifying a job number using the MOPROP $rem variable. In addition to electric properties, this module can also compute NMR chemical shifts (MOPROP = NMR); this functionality is described in Section 10.10.

MOPROP

MOPROP
       Specifies the job number for MOProp module.
TYPE:
       STRING
DEFAULT:
       0 Do not run the MOProp module.
OPTIONS:
       NMR NMR chemical shielding tensors. STATIC_POLAR Static polarizability. ISSC Indirect nuclear spin–spin coupling tensors. DYN_POLAR Dynamic polarizability. HYPERPOL First hyperpolarizability using Wigner’s 2n+1 rule.
RECOMMENDATION:
       None
