Hello Everyone,
Ultimately I want to assign the charges for the quadrupole moment in N2 against
the bias in Gaussian described below (or perhaps persuade against the bias).
That is, I am able to generate the quadrupole tensor which has nonzero
components Qxx, Qyy, and Qzz. The latter of which is the calculated quadrupole
moment for N2. This is with the bias that the quadrupole is of -++-
conformation.
I also ran the pop=chelpg option and received the following output which only
constrains the dipole moment giving zero partial charges:
Breneman (CHELPG) radii used.

Grid spacing= 0.300 Box extension= 2.800
NStep X,Y,Z= 20 20 24 Total possible points= 9600
Number of Points to Fit= 3328

If anyone is able to manipulate Gaussian to allow for unique quadrupole
arrangements (with point charges perhaps) in an effort to generate the
electrostatic potential surface, your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
