MOPAC Calculation


This tutorial will walk you through the utilization of the CAChe MOPAC program for the purpose of generating energy minimized structures and molecular orbitals of your molecules.

This tutorial consists of one excercise:

  • Energy Minimized Structure and MOPAC MOs for a Simple Ligand.
