Re: CCL:potential from part of the system



 Jose:
 	Thank you for your suggestion. I think it will work,
 but the accuracy of the potential is largely limited by the
 
very point charge approximation. I wonder if there is a way to use the nuclear charges and electron wavefunctions of a desired
 part of the system to compute potential. I would imagine this
 could be achieved by setting the coefficients of some atomic
 orbitals to zero.
 	Best
 	Deyu

 Deyu, if your Gaussian Job included a calculation
 of point charges (esp or chelpg) then the
 electrostatic potential from a subset of atoms
 is the sum of coulombic terms over that subset.
 My suggestion is, take those point charges, take
 the coordinates of your system and make a small
 program to calculate the electrostatic potential
 wherever you want.

 Dear CCL:
  	I want to obtain the potential field from only part of
 my system, eg., the electrostatic potentail that a real ion
 feels from the rest of the system. Does anyone know if there
 is a quick way to do this from a Gaussian checkpoint file?
  	Thanks
