Dear All, I have two small molecules that are identical. One geometry is the ground state and the other is the first excited state. I have their fchk file, from gaussian 09. I am trying to figure out how to superimpose these two molecules using open babel. The catch is: I wish I could loose accuracy as minimum as possible. I mean, I wish I could extract the two geometries from the fchk file keeping as many decimal digits as possible and then generate two new geometries with as many decimal digits as possible. How can I do it? Which format allow me to use the largest number of decimal digits?
I have looked into the obfit code but I have another question. How the two molecules should enter? One after the other? Any separation? just cat molecule1 molecule2 > moleculefit? Besides, I wish all atoms could be used in the alignment. Which SMILES should I use?
