Example: Aromaticity indices with QTAIM¶
The aromaticity indices Iring and MCI can be calculated with ADF. Calculation of these aromaticity indices invokes the QTAIM analysis automatically and uses its results so all accuracy considerations for the BADER key are also valid here. The rings should be specified using the AROMATICITY input block, one line per ring. The atoms must be listed in the order they are connected in the ring.
