CCL:G: nbo analysis



Hi Sina,

The low core orbital occupancy warnings are common and usually can be ignored, just look sat the core orbital occupations and make sure they are all over 1.999 (in the closed-shell case). In your case NBO may be alerting you that you do not have a stable "wavefunction." After all, you need a good set of MOs to read into NBO or it won't work. I'd do a stability calculation on your structure before the NBO calc to rule that out, before spending too much time investigating the error.

Re NBO visualization from gennbo output, I saw the following post recently but have not tried it myself. Credit for this obviously goes to Wenli, but I didn't see a surname on the post.

Only 4.3 version of Molekel can plot NBO.
 
Plese use my NBO2Molden program, and then plot NBO using Molden or GabEdit.

In nbo analysis I have 9 warnings which shows 9 low occupancy in core orbiyals.after which inversion of nbo labels with bd occurs.

WARNING:  1 low occupancy (<0.9990e) core orbital  found on  B 7

 The following "inverted" NBO labels reflect the actual hybrid overlap:

                NBO 432 has been relabelled BD

                NBO 442 has been relabelled BD

                NBO 450 has been relabelled BD

 Unable to label the NBOs properly:  64 unstarred orbitals
                                    61 occupied orbitals

I would appreciate your suggestions.
Also I use GenNBO.5 and I could not find free NBOview or any free orbital viewer software.could anybody introduce a software or a link for free download?

with my best regards to ccl.net & all subscribers.
