Hello Everybody,
We have an interest in our laboratory in examining the bonding in rare gas
containing molecules through experiment. Accordingly we have begun
supplementing our experimental work with theoretical calculations and in
particular producing electron density plots of our molecules and also
examing the laplacian plots, all using Molden.
Of increasing interest is the Laplacian. Molden has
4 plot options for the laplacian, i'm sure many of you will know
these are: Euclid, 3D, 3D-X and Space.
I can interpret the Euclid and 3D type plots (well just about anyway!) and
these appear to be the common way of presenting this type of information.
My question is how should one interpret the "Space plot" of the
Laplacian?
I have examined the online documentation and have not been successful in
finding any help.
Thank you for your time,
Best wishes,
