Advanced ORCA Calculation
Goal
Enable advanced ORCA quantum chemistry calculations by constructing a custom ORCA input file from scratch. This skill covers methods and features not available through the SCINE wrapper, including multi-reference methods, excited states, relativistic effects, advanced SCF settings, NMR/EPR properties, and more.
[!IMPORTANT] For standard DFT single-point calculations (energy, gradients, Hessian), use the singlepoint skill instead. For geometry optimization, use the optimization skill. This skill is for cases where those wrappers do not expose the needed method or settings.
1. Prerequisites
- Conda environment:
orca-agentwithaseinstalled (SCINE not required for this skill) - ORCA binary: The environment variable
ORCA_BINARY_PATHmust point to the ORCA executableexport ORCA_BINARY_PATH=/path/to/orca - ORCA documentation: Consult the ORCA 6.1 tutorials for method-specific input syntax, keyword blocks, and recommended settings
2. Workflow
Step 1: Understand the user's request
Identify the target method, property, and system. Determine which ORCA keywords and blocks are needed. If unsure, consult the tutorials linked above for the specific method.
Step 2: Write the ORCA input file
Create a .inp file following ORCA input syntax. Every input file should include:
Mandatory elements:
- A keyword line starting with
!specifying the method, basis set, and job type - A
*xyzfileentry referencesing an external .xyz file
Strongly recommended elements:
%pal nprocs N end: parallelization (always set this to avoid single-core runs)%maxcore M: memory per core in MB (e.g. 4000 for 4 GB per core)
Example — TD-DFT excited states:
! B3LYP def2-TZVP TightSCF
%pal nprocs 4 end
%maxcore 4000
%tddft
NRoots 10
MaxDim 5
end
* xyzfile 0 1 molecule.xyz
Example: DLPNO-CCSD(T) single point:
! DLPNO-CCSD(T) def2-TZVPP def2-TZVPP/C TightSCF
%pal nprocs 8 end
%maxcore 4000
* xyzfile 0 1 molecule.xyz
Example: Geometry optimization with frequency calculation:
! B3LYP def2-TZVP D3BJ Opt Freq TightSCF
%pal nprocs 4 end
%maxcore 4000
* xyzfile 0 1 molecule.xyz
Example: CASSCF multi-reference:
! CASSCF def2-TZVP
%pal nprocs 4 end
%maxcore 8000
%casscf
nel 6
norb 6
nroots 3
end
* xyzfile 0 1 molecule.xyz
[!TIP] When using an external
.xyzfile with* xyzfile charge mult filename.xyz, the.xyzfile must be placed in the same directory where ORCA runs (the--output_dir).
Step 3: Run the calculation
# Env: orca-agent
python .agent/skills/chem-dft-orca-advanced-calculation/scripts/run_orca_input.py \
--input_file calculation.inp \
--output_dir research/my_project/advanced_calc
The script will:
- Validate basic input structure and warn about missing
%pal/%maxcore - Copy the input file to the output directory
- Execute ORCA and capture all output
- Parse the final electronic energy from the output
- Save a
calculation_results.jsonsummary
Step 4: Parse results
For standard energies, the runner script already extracts the final energy. For other properties, use the dedicated parser:
# Env: orca-agent
python .agent/skills/chem-dft-orca-advanced-calculation/scripts/parse_orca_output.py \
--output_file research/my_project/advanced_calc/calculation.out \
--property energy orbitals
Available --property options in the parser:
energy: Final energy, nuclear repulsion, dispersion correctionorbitals: Orbital energies, HOMO/LUMO, gapfrequencies: Vibrational frequencies, imaginary modes, IR intensitiesthermochemistry: ZPE, enthalpy, Gibbs energy, entropyall: Parse everything available
Step 5: Manual output inspection
For properties not covered by the built-in parser (excited-state energies, NMR shifts, spin populations, natural orbitals, etc.), read the ORCA calculation.property.txt file directly.
3. Common Use Cases
| Method | Key ORCA Keywords | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-step SCF convergence | ! GuessMode=CMatrix | Some SCFs are difficult to converge, solving it multiple steps, converging first on a small basis set and loose criterion and launching it again with the desired parameters |
| TD-DFT excited states | ! B3LYP def2-TZVP, %tddft NRoots N end | Use TDA for faster approximation |
| CASSCF/NEVPT2 | ! CASSCF def2-TZVP, %casscf nel N norb M end | Active space selection is critical |
| DFT + NMR | ! B3LYP def2-TZVP NMR | Shielding tensors in output |
| DFT + EPR | ! B3LYP def2-TZVP EPR/ORP | g-tensor and hyperfine couplings |
| Relativistic (ZORA) | ! B3LYP ZORA def2-TZVP SARC/J | For heavy elements; use SARC basis sets |
| Scan/Relaxed scan | ! B3LYP def2-SVP Opt, %geom Scan ... end | Potential energy surface scans |
4. Output Files
calculation_results.json: Summary with energy, SCF convergence, return code, and any input warnings<input_stem>.property.txt: Structured ORCA output file of all properties<input_stem>.out: Full ORCA output file, only suitable for debugging errors- Various ORCA-generated files (
.gbw,.densities,.engrad, etc.) in the output directory parsed_results.json(if parser was run): Structured extraction of requested properties
5. Constraints
- Input correctness: The agent is responsible for writing a valid ORCA input file. The runner performs basic validation but cannot catch all syntax errors, ORCA itself will report those in the output.
- SCF convergence: Always check that the SCF converged. If it did not, try
SlowConv,VerySlowConv, or adjust%scf MaxIterand damping settings. - Memory: ORCA can be memory-intensive for correlated methods. Set
%maxcoreappropriately (rule of thumb: total available RAM / nprocs, leaving some for the OS). - Disk: Post-HF methods (CCSD(T), CASSCF) can generate large temporary files. Ensure sufficient disk space.
- ORCA binary:
ORCA_BINARY_PATHmust be set and point to a working ORCA installation. - Environment: All commands require the
orca-agentconda environment. - Parallelization: ORCA uses OpenMPI internally. Do not run multiple ORCA instances on overlapping core sets.
- Output parsing: The built-in parser covers common output patterns. For uncommon methods or output formats, the raw
.outfile must be inspected directly.

# Advanced ORCA Calculation
## Goal
Enable advanced ORCA quantum chemistry calculations by constructing a custom ORCA input file from scratch. This skill covers methods and features not available through the SCINE wrapper, including multi-reference methods, excited states, relativistic effects, advanced SCF settings, NMR/EPR properties, and more.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> For **standard DFT single-point** calculations (energy, gradients, Hessian), use the [singlepoint skill](../chem-dft-orca-singlepoint/SKILL.md) instead. For **geometry optimization**, use the [optimization skill](../chem-dft-orca-optimization/SKILL.md). This skill is for cases where those wrappers do not expose the needed method or settings.
## 1. Prerequisites
- **Conda environment:** `orca-agent` with `ase` installed (SCINE not required for this skill)
- **ORCA binary:** The environment variable `ORCA_BINARY_PATH` must point to the ORCA executable
```bash
export ORCA_BINARY_PATH=/path/to/orca
```
- **ORCA documentation:** Consult the [ORCA 6.1 tutorials](https://www.faccts.de/docs/orca/6.1/tutorials/index.html) for method-specific input syntax, keyword blocks, and recommended settings
## 2. Workflow
### Step 1: Understand the user's request
Identify the target method, property, and system. Determine which ORCA keywords and blocks are needed. If unsure, consult the tutorials linked above for the specific method.
### Step 2: Write the ORCA input file
Create a `.inp` file following ORCA input syntax. Every input file should include:
**Mandatory elements:**
- A keyword line starting with `!` specifying the method, basis set, and job type
- A `*xyzfile` entry referencesing an external .xyz file
**Strongly recommended elements:**
- `%pal nprocs N end`: parallelization (always set this to avoid single-core runs)
- `%maxcore M`: memory per core in MB (e.g. 4000 for 4 GB per core)
**Example — TD-DFT excited states:**
```
! B3LYP def2-TZVP TightSCF
%pal nprocs 4 end
%maxcore 4000
%tddft
NRoots 10
MaxDim 5
end
* xyzfile 0 1 molecule.xyz
```
**Example: DLPNO-CCSD(T) single point:**
```
! DLPNO-CCSD(T) def2-TZVPP def2-TZVPP/C TightSCF
%pal nprocs 8 end
%maxcore 4000
* xyzfile 0 1 molecule.xyz
```
**Example: Geometry optimization with frequency calculation:**
```
! B3LYP def2-TZVP D3BJ Opt Freq TightSCF
%pal nprocs 4 end
%maxcore 4000
* xyzfile 0 1 molecule.xyz
```
**Example: CASSCF multi-reference:**
```
! CASSCF def2-TZVP
%pal nprocs 4 end
%maxcore 8000
%casscf
nel 6
norb 6
nroots 3
end
* xyzfile 0 1 molecule.xyz
```
> [!TIP]
> When using an external `.xyz` file with `* xyzfile charge mult filename.xyz`, the `.xyz` file must be placed in the same directory where ORCA runs (the `--output_dir`).
### Step 3: Run the calculation
```bash
# Env: orca-agent
python .agent/skills/chem-dft-orca-advanced-calculation/scripts/run_orca_input.py \
--input_file calculation.inp \
--output_dir research/my_project/advanced_calc
```
The script will:
1. Validate basic input structure and warn about missing `%pal`/`%maxcore`
2. Copy the input file to the output directory
3. Execute ORCA and capture all output
4. Parse the final electronic energy from the output
5. Save a `calculation_results.json` summary
### Step 4: Parse results
For standard energies, the runner script already extracts the final energy. For other properties, use the dedicated parser:
```bash
# Env: orca-agent
python .agent/skills/chem-dft-orca-advanced-calculation/scripts/parse_orca_output.py \
--output_file research/my_project/advanced_calc/calculation.out \
--property energy orbitals
```
Available `--property` options in the parser:
- `energy`: Final energy, nuclear repulsion, dispersion correction
- `orbitals`: Orbital energies, HOMO/LUMO, gap
- `frequencies`: Vibrational frequencies, imaginary modes, IR intensities
- `thermochemistry`: ZPE, enthalpy, Gibbs energy, entropy
- `all`: Parse everything available
### Step 5: Manual output inspection
For properties not covered by the built-in parser (excited-state energies, NMR shifts, spin populations, natural orbitals, etc.), read the ORCA `calculation.property.txt` file directly.
