Description

This floe computes an interaction energy for molecules with multiple components. The interaction energy equals the difference between the energy of the complex and the individual monomers.

For a dimer with molecule A and molecule B, the interaction energy is given as

E (interaction) = E (complex) - E (A) - E (B)

This is true for any number of molecules in the system, so the interaction energy in general is calculated as:

E (interaction) = E (complex) - Sum [ E (component i) ]

This floe assumes that there is one conformer of the primary molecule in each record. If a multiconformer molecule is provided, then the interaction energy will only be computed for the first conformer.

  • Default: False

  • Choices: [True, False]

Psi4 Memory (psi4_prop_memory): Memory for Psi4 calculations in MBs

  • Type: decimal

Advanced Parameters

Save Psi4 Log Files (store_log_file): The log file generated from Psi4 is saved. It will be available as a floe report when the floe is complete.

  • Type: boolean

  • Default: False

  • Choices: [True, False]

Report Name for Log Files (qm_log_report_name): Floe report to store QM log files. This report is only created if the calculation log files were stored.
