Below is a simple example, we calculate and plot ellipicity of electron density along bond path of C-F in C2H5F. After extract Multiwfn package, first open settings.ini file and change "iuserfunc" parameter to 30 (The 30th user-defined function corresponds to electron density ellipicity, see Section 2.7 of the manual for detail). Then boot up Multiwfn and input below commands: examples\c2h5f.wfn 2 // Topology analysis 2 // Search NCP from nuclear positions 3 // Search BCP from midpoint of atom pairs 8 // Generate bond path 0 // Enter GUI window to visualize result In the GUI window, by using "Atom labels" and "Path labels" widgets at right side, we find paths 9 and 10 collectively correspond to the bond path of C-F. Clicking "RETURN" to close the window, and input -5 7 // Calculate specific real space funtion along a path 9,10 // The index of the paths 100 // User-defined function, which corresponds to ellipicity of electron density currently The curve of electron density ellipicity along the C-F bond path immediately shows on the screen, the dash line denotes the position of BCP. At the same time, the raw data of the curve are shown on the command-line window and you may copy them out. For more information about the topology analysis module of Multiwfn you can consult Section 3.14 of the manual and the examples in Section 4.2. PS: By using main functions 3 and 4 of Multiwfn, the electron density ellipicity can also be easily plotted in a line or in a plane.

Date: 2014-07-03 00:43 Hi all, I've been running some QTAIM calculations and I would like to calculate ellipticity profiles along bond paths. Does anyone know a software which can perform such calculations? I usually make use of AIMAll package but the software seems unable to calculate ellipticity profiles. I appreciate any help. With regards, Italo
