Dear Prof. Lu,

Thank you very much. Now, I am able to calculate the BLA values.

Kind regards,
Praveen

Dear Praveen,

You inputted atomic indices in a wrong way. Multiwfn needs to determine the path (atomic chain) to be studied, however based on your input Multiwfn cannot infer a unique path. It is best to manually input all indices of atoms according to connectivity from beginning to ending atoms, for example, 3,2,1,6,9,8 ... 31,32,35,34,39,38

Tian

Dear Prof. Tian Lu,

I am trying to calculate the bond length alteration values for a thiophene system.

I used the optimized geometry with Multiwfn (200.18) for that. When I was asked to choose the rings and end atoms, I used appropriate details. For example, in the case below, I chose 1-39 and 3 and 38 as end atoms.

However, once I input the values, the calculations are not complete (I waited up to 5 hours). I tried using both Gaussian and ORCA log/output files as well as XYZ files. I have also tried using fchk as well as molden files converted from G09 and ORCA.

I am not sure whether I am doing things properly. Would you please kindly assist me in this regard?

Thanks and regards,
Praveen
