Hi, everyone. I learn NWCHEM for a long time, and now I meet a problem which I can not solve foe myself. I want put a charge (electron or hole ) in a certain atom, how can I do that? Thank you for reply.

Hi,

You can force the electronic structure so as to put a particular charge on an atom or functional group using the constrained DFT functionality. See http://nwchemgit.github.io/index.php/Release62:Density_Functional_Theory_for_Molecules#CDFT_... for details. Is this what you want?
