Gaussian Job File (GJF) ======================= The Gaussian Job File (GJF) format is used to define computational jobs for Gaussian, a popular quantum chemistry software package. GJF files typically contain information about the molecular structure, computational methods, and other parameters necessary for performing quantum chemical calculations. Below is a simplified example of a GJF file for a molecular structure: .. code-block:: bash #P B3LYP/6-31G(d) Opt Molecule Specification 0 1 O 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 H 0.75700 0.58600 0.00000 H -0.75700 0.58600 0.00000 Tv 5.00000 0.00000 0.00000 Tv 0.00000 5.00000 0.00000 Tv 0.00000 0.00000 5.00000 In this example: - The `#P B3LYP/6-31G(d) Opt` line specifies the computational method (B3LYP) and basis set (6-31G(d)) for optimization. - The "Molecule Specification" section provides information about the molecular structure. - `0 1` indicates that the molecule has a net charge of 0 and a spin multiplicity of 1 (singlet). - Atom types (O, H) are followed by their Cartesian coordinates. - The `Tv` lines indicate cell vectors in the x, y, and z directions. This example represents a GJF file for a simple water molecule, where an optimization calculation is requested using the B3LYP functional and the 6-31G(d) basis set. It's worth noting that GJF files can include additional specifications for different types of calculations, such as frequency calculations, single-point energy calculations, or electronic structure analyses. The specific contents of a GJF file may vary depending on the computational task and the desired level of theory. Always consult the Gaussian documentation for the appropriate syntax and options for your specific calculations.
