Abstract:

CM5PAC is a package containing a Fortran program along with a bash shell script to carry out a calculation of CM5 or CM5M partial atomic charges for molecules or periodic systems using Hirshfeld atomic charges. The CM5 and CM5M charges yield class IV partial atomic charges by mapping from those obtained by Hirshfeld population analysis of density functional electronic charge distributions. To run CM5PAC the user needs to have a program that can calculate Hirshfeld atomic charges, for example, Gaussian 09 (Revisions A or later), BAND, or chargemol.

Note that CM5 charges can be computed along with Hirshfeld charges using Revision D.01 of Gaussian 09 without CM5PAC but such calculations may produce wrong CM5 charges in certain cases due to a bug. This bug is fixed in Revision E of Gaussian 09 and Gaussian 16.
