[Wien] Reg: bader analysis

[Georg Eickerling]

Hi,

at the end of the AIM output you should see a line similar to this:

:RHOTOT for IND-ATOM   5  Z=  6.0  CHARGE:   7.30973  -1.30973

here you can see, that the atom integrated in this example has a
Bader-Charge of -1.31 electrons.

However, if you plan to interpret these numbers you should make sure
that the Bader charges of all atoms sum to zero! This is important
in order to detect mistakes in the basin-boundaries or an
insufficient numerical accuracy. You can easily obtain totally
useless values for these charges if you fail to locate all critical
points of your basin surface.
When using the CRITIC code you can in addition use the value of the
integrated second derivative of the electron density (the Laplacian)
as a criterion which for each basin must be zero.

regards

Georg Eickerling
