4.4 MOLGRA - Molecular Graph

To obtain a molecular graph (MG) from the electron density, the program MOLGRA can be used interactively obtaining the results on the computer display

Ψprompt> MOLGRA [ options ]

or redirecting the output to a file (suggested way)

Ψprompt> MOLGRA[ options ] > somefile.txt

A list of options can be obtained issuing the command

prompt> MOLGRA -h

In order to integrate molecular property densities using the atomic size adjustments based on the bond critical points of the electron density, the option -v autoval must be used and the output of the program redirected to a file. This file is used by:

  • 1

    the TD2PT program with the option -bcp file

  • 2

    the catBCP2fort3 program issuing the command catBCP2fort3 file.
