[metric n]
method for generating and processing
of redundant internal coordinates
(default: 3)
Values for the metric option:
- n = 1
- ``Delocalized Coordinates''
The
matrix is diagonalized for the complete set
of redundant internal coordinates, matrix
is a unit
matrix.
- n = -3
- Delocalized Coordinates obtained
with a modified matrix
, the values of
can be defined by user input (see below).
- n = -1
- ``Hybrid Coordinates''
Natural internal coordinates are defined as in the old
iaut option. If a cage remains, delocalized coordinates
(as for n=1) are defined for the cage.
- n = -2
- Very simular to the
option,
but for the remaining cage delocalized coordinates with modified
matrix
are defined as for
.
- n = 2
- ``Decoupled coordinates''
The redundant coordinates are divided into a sequence of blocks.
These are expected to have decreasing average force constants,
i.e. stretches, angle coordinates, torsions and
``weak'' coordinates. The
matrix is
diagonalized for each block separately after the columns of
were orthogonalized against the columns of
of the the preceding blocks.
- n = 3
- ``Generalized natural coordinates''
Natural internal coordinates are defined first, for the
remaining cage decoupled coordinates are defined.
