After OQP read all of the sections in your input file, it will start the SCF procedure. but before that you have to pay attention that when you use the LibXC, you have to cite this papers:

112  THE FOLLOWING PAPERS SHOULD BE CITED WHEN USING LIBXC INTERFACE:

121  The information about selected functionals:
122 The BHandHLYP exchange-correlation functional will be used with a coefficient   1.00000000E+00.
123 The functional has been described in the following articles:
124 [1] A. D. Becke, J. Chem. Phys. 98, 1372 (1993); DOI: 10.1063/1.464304
125 [2] Defined through Gaussian implementation;

In the next part OQP will set up the given functional:

133   Largest Gaussian primitive exponent=     5484.6716600000 of type -S-
134  on atom number   1 has radial normalization=  1.000000
135    Step  CPU time in seconds =        4.5      wall time in seconds =       0.1
136    Total CPU time in seconds =        4.5      wall time in seconds =       0.1

Global Hybrid Part: 0.50000000: This refers to the mixing parameter in hybrid Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. Hybrid functionals are a class of approximations used in DFT to include a portion of exact exchange from Hartree-Fock theory with the rest from DFT exchange-correlation functionals. A value of 0.5 means that 50% of the exchange is coming from the exact Hartree-Fock method, and the rest is from DFT. This is typical of hybrid functionals like BHHLYP.

DFT Threshold = 0.179E-07: This threshold indicates the convergence criterion for the self-consistent field (SCF) procedure in DFT calculations. A smaller threshold means more accurate results but requires more computational time. The value 0.179E-07 suggests that the calculations are stopped when changes in the electron density between iterations fall below this value.

Radial quadrature: 96 points: In DFT, integrals over electron density are evaluated numerically. Radial quadrature points refer to the number of points used in the numerical integration over the radial coordinate. Here, 96 points indicate the level of discretization and directly impact the accuracy and computational cost of the calculation.

Gaussian Primitive Exponents

  • Smallest/Largest Gaussian primitive exponent: Gaussian primitives are functions used in the basis set for molecular orbital calculations. The exponents determine how spread out or contracted these functions are.
  • _The smallest exponent (0.1612777588) _corresponds to a widely spread out function, indicating involvement in describing long-range interactions or diffuse electrons (such as in anions or excited states).
  • The largest exponent (5484.6716600000) corresponds to a very contracted function, useful for describing core electrons or regions very close to nuclei.
  • Type -S- indicates these are s-type orbitals (spherical symmetry).
  • Radial normalization = 1.000000 for both smallest and largest exponents ensures that the functions are properly normalized for accurate calculations.

In this portion you can see all iteration in SCF procedure, starting from the initial guess of the electron density, moving through successive refinements. In the last column, Conv located which means the convergence method employed, with "SD" standing for steepest descent in the first iteration and "C-DIIS" denoting the Conjugate-Direction Direct Inversion in the Iterative Subspace method used in subsequent iterations to accelerate convergence.

The log file demonstrates the SCF process converging to a final Restricted Open-Shell Hartree-Fock (ROHF) energy of -76.0774351214 Hartrees after 8 iterations, which indicates efficient convergence to a stable electronic structure.

This portion of log file demonstrates the Molecular Orbitals and their Energies.
In the calculation we used ROHF method, which is a hybrid approach that allows for both closed and open-shell systems. It maintains paired electrons in the same spatial orbitals (like RHF) while allowing unpaired electrons to have different spatial wavefunctions for α and β spins.

  • Molecular Orbitals and Energies: The list begins with the energy levels of the first five molecular orbitals (denoted by numbers 1 through 5). These energy values are given in atomic units (Hartrees), with the more negative values indicating lower energy (more stable) orbitals. For example, the first orbital has a significantly lower energy (-19.8714502618 Hartrees) compared to the others, suggesting it is the most stable and likely represents a core orbital associated with the oxygen atom in the system.
  • Contribution of Atomic Orbitals: Following the orbital energies, the table breaks down the composition of each molecular orbital in terms of atomic orbitals from the constituent atoms, labeled with their atomic number, type of orbital (S, P, etc.), and their respective contributions to each MO. For instance, "1 O 1 S" denotes the contribution of the 1s orbital of the first (oxygen) atom to the molecular orbitals. The coefficients (e.g., -0.9935640348 for the first MO) indicate the weight of each atomic orbital in the composition of the MO. A zero coefficient means that the atomic orbital does not contribute to the molecular orbital.
  • Symmetry and Contributions: The presence of zeroes for certain orbitals at specific MOs hints at symmetry considerations within the molecule that affect orbital overlap and contributions. For example, orbitals labeled "X", "Y", and "Z" show the directional properties of p orbitals and their contributions to MOs, which are crucial for understanding the spatial distribution and chemical bonding characteristics of electrons in the molecule.

  • Wavefunction Normalization = 1.0000000000: This indicates that the calculated wavefunction is correctly normalized. Normalization ensures that the total probability density of finding electrons within the molecular system sums up to one, a fundamental requirement for valid quantum mechanical solutions.
  • One Electron Energy = -121.5660379888 Hartrees: This component represents the sum of the energies associated with each electron moving in the average field created by all other electrons and nuclei. It includes the kinetic energy of the electrons and their potential energy due to interactions with nuclei.
  • Two Electron Energy = 36.1999095591 Hartrees: This term accounts for the repulsion energy between pairs of electrons due to their charge interactions. It highlights electron-electron correlation effects not captured by the one-electron energy.
  • Nuclear Repulsion Energy = 9.2886933083 Hartrees: This energy component is the electrostatic potential energy due to repulsions between the positively charged nuclei in the molecule. It's independent of the electronic state and depends only on the positions of the nuclei.
  • TOTAL Energy = -76.0774351214 Hartrees: The sum of the one-electron, two-electron, and nuclear repulsion energies, representing the total energy of the molecular system.
  • Potential and Kinetic Energy Components: Additional details provide insights into the distribution of potential and kinetic energies within the system, including electron-electron, nucleus-electron, and nucleus-nucleus potential energies. The total potential energy sums to -152.3032983221 Hartrees, while the total kinetic energy of the electrons is reported as 76.2258632007 Hartrees.
  • Virial Ratio (V/T) = 1.9980527859: The virial theorem relates the average total kinetic energy (T) of a system to its total potential energy (V), with the ratio providing insights into the system's dynamical properties. A ratio close to 2 indicates that the system is in a stable quantum mechanical state under the influence of Coulomb forces.

Davidson Iterations

The log shows three iterations of the Davidson algorithm, with each iteration refining the energies (E) of the first three excited states of the system, measured in electron volts (eV), and their associated errors.

  • Iteration # 1: Initial estimates of the energies for the three states are provided, with the largest error in the estimates reported as 1.588e−2. This step sets the baseline for subsequent refinements.
  • Iteration # 2: The energy values are updated, and the errors are significantly reduced, showing the algorithm's effectiveness in quickly honing in on accurate values. The maximum error decreases dramatically to 3.743e-5.
  • Iteration # 3: By the third iteration, the energies of the states have further converged to highly precise values, with the maximum error now below the convergence threshold (1e-6), indicating successful convergence of the calculations.

The energies of the excited states after convergence are as follows:

  • State 1: -7.714759 eV
  • State 2: 1.232645 eV
  • State 3: 2.818164 eV

  • State 0 is identified as the ROHF/UHF (Restricted Open-Shell Hartree-Fock/Unrestricted Hartree-Fock) reference state, with an energy of -76.0774351214 Hartrees. This is our reference state.
  • State 1 shows an excitation energy of -7.714758 eV relative to the ground state (This is our S0 state), indicating a lower energy state than the reference, with a <S^2> value of 0.000, suggesting it maintains a singlet character. Its transition dipole moment in all directions (X, Y, Z) is 0.0000 A.U., and it has an oscillator strength of 0.0000, indicating it may not be optically active.
  • State 2 (S1 state) has an excitation energy of 1.232645 eV with a relative energy difference from the ground state of 8.947403 eV. The transition dipole moments are -0.1790 A.U. in the X and Y directions and -0.0000 A.U. in the Z direction, with an absolute magnitude of 0.2532 A.U. Its oscillator strength of 0.0140 suggests a weak but non-zero probability of transition from the ground state, indicating potential optical activity.
  • State 3 (S2 state) is excited to 2.818164 eV above the reference state, with a total relative excitation energy of 10.532922 eV. Similar to State 1, its transition dipole moments are 0.0000 in all directions, and it has an oscillator strength of 0.0000, suggesting no optical activity.

This section of the log file provides information about the dispersion correction settings. Dispersion corrections are important for accurately modeling long-range van der Waals (vdW) interactions, which are often poorly represented in conventional Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations.

365    PyOQP dftd functional:                           bhhlyp
  • PyOQP dftd correction: The setting False indicates that dispersion corrections were not applied in this particular set of calculations. Dispersion corrections are often necessary for accurately predicting intermolecular interactions, molecular geometries, and binding energies, especially in systems where van der Waals forces play a significant role.
  • PyOQP dftd method: Despite dispersion corrections being disabled, the method specified for such corrections is dftd4. The DFT-D4 method is a recent and advanced scheme for computing dispersion corrections, known for its accuracy and applicability to a wide range of molecules and materials. It calculates dispersion energies based on a set of atom-pairwise terms adjusted for each element, considering their chemical environment.
  • PyOQP dftd functional: You can find the full explanation for this part in the input files wiki page.

The next part of the log file indicates Final energy, first electronic energies which we saw at the previous section and the the energy of the same states but with considering the Dispersion Correction, as we menstioned in the last section:

363    PyOQP dftd correction:                            False

so there will be no difference between the "PyOQP electronic energies" and "PyOQP dispersion corrected energies".

Electric Charge

  • C_o: The total electric charge of the molecule is given in atomic units (a.u.), here reported as +0.00000, indicating the molecule is overall neutral. This is a fundamental property that influences how the molecule interacts electrostatically with its surroundings.

Electric Dipole Moment

  • D_o: The electric dipole moment, measured in Debye, is a vector quantity that describes the separation of positive and negative charges within the molecule. The analysis reports the dipole moment components along the X, Y, and Z axes, with a significant value along the Z-axis (0.51758202 Debye) and a norm of the same magnitude, indicating an asymmetrical charge distribution primarily along the Z-axis. This property affects the molecule's interaction with external electric fields and is related to molecular polarity.

Electric Quadrupole Moment

  • Q_X, Q_Y, Q_Z: The electric quadrupole moments, provided in Buckingham units, quantify the distribution of charge that creates a quadrupole, or a pair of dipoles. These values give a more nuanced view of the molecule's electrostatic field than the dipole moment alone, describing how charge distributions vary in space, which influences intermolecular interactions and spectroscopic properties.

Electric Octupole Moment

  • O_xxx, O_xxy, ...: The electric octupole moments, measured in Buckingham*Angstrom units, offer an even more detailed representation of the molecule's electrostatic potential, accounting for complex distributions of charge that extend beyond those described by the dipole and quadrupole moments. These higher-order moments can be significant for large molecules or those with complex shapes.

Orbital Entries:

  • The first column (#) lists the orbital indices.
  • The second column (A) identifies the atom type (O for oxygen, H for hydrogen).
  • The third column (N) indicates the atom number within the molecule.
  • The fourth column (L) specifies the type of orbital (S for s-orbital, X, Y, Z for p-orbitals, XX, YY, ZZ for d-orbitals, etc.).
  • The fifth column (Population) provides the Mulliken population or the estimated number of electrons in each orbital.
Interpretation - Oxygen Atom: The Mulliken populations for the oxygen atom's orbitals vary, with the 1s orbital (entries 1-3) showing a significant population, indicative of its core electrons. The p-orbitals (entries 4-9) and d-orbitals (entries 10-15) have lower populations, reflecting the valence electron distribution and hybridization state of oxygen in the molecule. - **Hydrogen Atoms**: The populations for the 1s orbitals of the hydrogen atoms (entries 16-19) are less than 1, suggesting partial sharing of these electrons with oxygen, consistent with covalent bonding in water.

The last section of this log file demonstrates atomic partial charges derived from the Mulliken population analysis offers insight into the distribution of electronic charge across different atoms within the molecule.
