Gaussview/Gaussian Guide and Exercise Manual

Introduction 

In this manual some of the principal features of the Gaussview and Gaussian programs are highlighted to enable the student to start working productively with both programs. The examples/descriptions are inevitably brief and do not aim to be a comprehensive guide. Experience in using the programs and consulting the manuals supplied with them is the only means of achieving proficiency. It is hoped that this training manual plus the accompanying exercises will help ease the initial learning curve.

 Each workshop, with exercises, should take approximately 3-4 hours to complete.


Workshop 1. Gaussview/Gaussian principal features and a sample building exercise and calculation

Workshop 2. Displaying Molecular Orbitals, Electron Density and Electrostatic Potentials

Workshop 3. Geometry Optimisation and Vibrational Frequencies.

Workshop 4. Energy calculations and inclusion of solvation.
