Name

SLOPE — Change the scaling factor when using MNDO ESP charges.

Synopsis

 SLOPE=n.n
			

Description

When an MNDO/ESP calculation is run, a set of scaled charges are given in addition to the normal fitted charges scaled values. As shown by the authors,, MNDO ESP charges when multiplied by a factor of 1.422 may be used in place of 6-31G* electric potential derived charges. The keyword SLOPE is provided to override this scaling factor.

Abbreviation:

none

Requires:

ESP and MNDO.

Default value:
