Energy(molecule, method, options)

Parameters

molecule

-

list of lists; each list has 4 elements, the string of an atom's symbol and atom's x, y, and z coordinates

method

-

(optional)  method = name/procedure where name is one of 'HartreeFock' (default), 'DensityFunctional','RDMFunctional', 'ActiveSpaceCI',  'ActiveSpaceSCF', 'CoupledCluster', 'FullCI','MP2', 'Variational2RDM',  'Parametric2RDM', 'ContractedSchrodinger'

options

-

(optional) equation(s) of the form option = value where option is any valid option of the chosen method

Description

• 

Energy computes the molecule's total energy, the sum of the electronic energy and the nuclear repulsion energy.

• 

The procedure returns the energy as a float.

• 

The default method is 'HartreeFock' method whose correlation energy is 0.

• 

The result depends upon the chosen molecule, method, and basis set among other options such as charge, spin, and symmetry.

• 

Because the methods employ Maple remember tables, the procedure only computes the energy if it has not been previously computed by calling the method directly or indirectly through another property.
