Using GABEDIT to draw Lanthanide Complexes and run MOPAC2012

 
Please, download and install MOPAC2012.

While you wait for the MOPAC2012 password to arrive (it takes about three days), it is a good idea to practice drawing complexes in GABEDIT.

Thus, please, download, install, and learn how to use GABEDIT.

How to run lanthanide complexes Sparkle calculations with MOPAC2012

To run a Sparkle calculation in MOPAC2012, create a data-file with extension .mop which describes a molecular system and specifies the type of calculation that is to be carried out.

The lanthanide sparkles are represented by their respective element symbols like any atom in MOPAC.
