Distributed Multipole Analysis: Stability for Large Basis Sets

Stone, Anthony J.·2005·Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation

Abstract

The distributed multipole analysis procedure, for describing a molecular charge distribution in terms of multipole moments on the individual atoms (or other sites) of the molecule, is not stable with respect to a change of basis set, and indeed, the calculated moments change substantially and unpredictably when the basis set is improved, even though the resulting electrostatic potential changes very little. A revised procedure is proposed, which uses grid-based quadrature for partitioning the contributions to the charge density from diffuse basis functions. The resulting procedure is very stable, and the calculated multipole moments converge rapidly to stable values as the size of the basis is increased.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
