Hello OpenBabel developers,

Greetings!

I am coding to read the coordinates from gaussian log file using OpenBabel 
libraries. Having the coordinates, I calculate molecular electric moments up to 
quadrupoles.
To compare my results to QM, particularly for quadrupoles, I need to have the 
"Standard Orientation” as Gaussian does Population analysis in the Standard 
Orientation.

My question is that when I use OpenBabel to extract the coordinate, does it 
return the Standard Orientation?

You can try to use GetConformers to access all the coordinates that Gaussian prints, however it is only of either the standard orientation or of the input orientation. This you can check by comparing to the log file manually for a few cases.

Thanks,
