For more details, please check: www.sg-chem.net Best regards, S.

Although it's possible to obtain either the Mulliken or Lowdin values per atom, and thus get an estimate of the 'total ring population', I'm specifically interested in the changes in the P-orbital Pi electron populations. Is it possible to split out the populations per orbital type, so that they can be summed per atom? I'm using the PC GAMESS version of the GAMESS package and must profess to not being an expert user in QM packages, so apologies if this is an obvious question. > > Many thanks in advance, > > Adrian.> > > ---------------------------------------------------------------- Dr S.I.
