Molden tutorial

Molden: program mainly used to display electron density from quancum-mechanical (e.g., Gaussian) calculations

Molden can be downloaded from http://www.cmbi.ru.nl/molden/

A brief tutorial (with examples of plots) can be found at http://www.cmbi.ru.nl/molden/density.html

To generate an input file, you have to run Gaussian. In the line of the Gaussian options you have to add

Pop=CHelpG GFINPUT IOP(6/7=3)

The output file produced by the Gaussian run should be inputted to Molden via the Read button.
