Orbital-weighted Fukui calculation
Hi there!
I was wondering about the method that Multiwfn uses for Orbital-weighted Fukui index condensation into atoms.
This comes to my mind as I don't know what would be the difference when calculating OW-indexes with Multiwfn, and with the "TAFF" pipeline proposed by the authors in their paper (https://doi.org/10.1002/jcc.24699) which explicitly uses Topological Analysis. Does Multiwfn use the Topological Analysis proposed by the developers of the OW method?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Orbital-weighted Fukui calculation
Dear Samuel,
In main function 22, Multiwfn calculates condensed orbital-weighted Fukui function based on Hirshfeld atomic spaces, which is not relevant to topology analysis. (However, if you want, Multiwfn is also capable of performing topology analysis for orbital-weighted Fukui function)
Best,
Tian

Thanks a lot for your quick response!
Is there a section in the Multiwfn Manual which explains how to do the Topological Analysis? Or where can I learn about this approach.

Re: Orbital-weighted Fukui calculation
Multiwfn manual Section 4.2 provides many examples of performing topology analysis. Multiwfn is able to perform topology analysis on any real space function via main function 2.
