ORCA v5 property file issues
Here is a list of issues of the current version of the property file generated by ORCA v5 (as of 5.0.3):
Important:
- [ ] If the spin is zero, no hyperfine tensors should be stored in the property file. Currently all-zeros hyperfine tensors are stored.
- [ ] Add Calculation_Info section to property output files for scan calculations.
- [ ] Make sure the output format for all the sections for scan runs are identical the ones from single-point calculations.
Corrections:
- [ ] EPRNMR_EFGTensor: "Raw EFG tensor (au**^-3)" -> "Raw EFG tensor (Eh/e/a0^2)"
- [ ] EPRNMR_EFGTensor: "EFG eigenvalues (au**^-3)" -> "EFG tensor eigenvalues (Eh/e/a0^2)"
- [ ] EPRNMR_EFGTensor: "Electron density at nucleus" -> "Electron density at nucleus (a0^-3):" (or whatever unit it actually is)
- [ ] EPRNMR_GTensor: "raw g tensor:" -> "Raw g tensor:"
- [ ] EPRNMR_GTensor: "g tensor:" -> "Eigenvectors of symmetrized g tensor:"
- [ ] EPRNMR_GTensor: "G eigenvalues:" -> "Eigenvalues of symmetrized g tensor:"
- [ ] EPRNMR_ATensor: "A(iso)" -> "A(iso) (MHz):"
- [ ] EPRNMR_ATensor: "A Eigenvalues" -> "A tensor eigenvalues (MHz):"
- [ ] EPRNMR_QTensor: rename to EPRNMR_EFGTensor in the property output files for scans
- [ ] Calculation_Info: number of electron appears to be wrong (It says 0 for a UKS/6-31G calculation of a methyl radical)
- [ ] Calculation_Info: number of frozen core electron appears to be wrong (It says 1 for a UKS/6-31G calculation of a methyl radical)
- [ ] SCF_Energy: "SCF Energy" -> "SCF energy (Eh)" (or whatever unit it actually is)
- [ ] DFT_Energy: add energy unit (Eh) to all energies
- [ ] Calculation_Info: "Total Energy" -> "Total Energy (Eh):"
- [ ] Mayer_Pop: This section should be renamed to Population_Analysis, since it includes both Mulliken and Mayer populations.
We should disable EasySpin support for reading the property files until all the bugs are fixed.
The documentation now explicitly refers to use of the main output file only and mentions that loading _property.txt files is not supported. orca2easyspin returns an error suggesting use of the main output file if the function is called with a _property.txt file as input.
