Support for IRC calculations

Open RaphaelRobidas opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Description of the desired feature Intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) calculations generate the reaction pathway starting from the transition state. These calculations can be performed with most QM packages (such as Gaussian and ORCA), but are not currently supported by ccinput. They would be pretty simple to support, since there is no special input or necessary option.

Example of the usage and the desired output

$ ccinput gaussian irc M062X -bs def2tzvp -f TS.xyz -n 8 --mem 32G
%chk=calc.chk
%nproc=8
%mem=32000MB
#p IRC(CalcFC) M062X/Def2TZVP
