Title: About calculation of single point energy
Post by: saurabh_911 on August 10, 2016, 01:40:58 PM

Hello,

I am bit new to this. I have optimized the geometry of two structures using B3LYP functional program and def2-TZVP as basis set. I wanted to calculate single point energy of two structures and compare between the two, so using same sets I did the calculations. I have obtained the values of total energy as -1529.162040 and -1529.708705355. what would be the units of these values? if the units are hartree fock then it gives me a huge negative values. I want to compare them in kJ/mol and kCal/mol. Please guide me.

Thank you.

If no other units are specified the results are in atomic units (au).
You find the conversion factors in the literature or the www (search for CODATA).
