Abstract:
This is the data and associated new software required to run multi-state density-functional theory (MSDDFT) calculations by the GAMESS programme. Also, data and software needed to drive GAMESS based on output from the Gaussian-16 package is included. Sample input and output files are included, as well as Perl scripts and Fortran source code. A separate execution of the scripts is required to create the input specifications for each state to be included in the MSDFT, then after GAMESS is run more software is included to calculate the final state energies. The associated basic theory and results are described in "Multistate density functional theory applied with 3 unpaired electrons in 3 orbitals: the singdoublet and tripdoublet states of the ethylene cation" [1].

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
π Molecular Orbitals of 1,3-Butadiene
The simplest conjugated diene is 1,3-butadiene: a four-carbon system where each carbon is sp2-hybridized and has an unhybridized p orbital that contains an unpaired electron. According to molecular orbital theory, atomic orbitals combine to form molecular orbitals such that the number...

Stability of Conjugated Dienes
A comparison of the enthalpies of hydrogenation of dienes reveals that conjugated dienes release less heat on hydrogenation, rendering them more stable than their nonconjugated analogs.
