The purpose of this experiment is to become somewhat familiar with perhaps the most famous ab initio electronic structure program available and to learn a little about the usefulness of molecular electronic structure calculations.

A PC running G94W and a printer.

See the instructor for a detailed description of output from G94W.

Run file 2_01 which is the input file for a single point energy calculation on Propene. Determine the following information from the output:

• What is the standard orientation of the molecule? In what plane do most of the atoms lie?
• What is the predicted Hartree-Fock energy?
• What is the magnitude and direction of the dipole moment for propene?
• Describe the general nature of the predicted charge distribution.
