Abstract

The use of symmetry coordinates (SC) in geometry optimization is discussed. A computer program incorporating the use of sc, together with analytical calculation of the gradient and quadratic acceleration, is described. Also reported are careful test results on a series of small molecules and typical results with a long series of molecules up to quite large size (40–60 atoms).
