Local properties of quantum chemical systems: The LoProp approach

Gagliardi, Laura ; Lindh, Roland LU and Karlström, Gunnar LU (2004) In Journal of Chemical Physics 121(10). p.4494-4500
Abstract
A new method is presented, which makes it possible to partition molecular properties like multipole moments and polarizabilities, into atomic and interatomic contributions. The method requires a subdivision of the atomic basis set into occupied and virtual basis functions for each atom in the molecular system. The localization procedure is organized into a series of orthogonalizations of the original basis set, which will have as a final result a localized orthonormal basis set. The new localization procedure is demonstrated to be stable with various basis sets, and to provide physically meaningful localized properties. Transferability of the methyl properties for the alkane series and of the carbon and hydrogen properties for the benzene,... (More)
