Dear all I am a newbie to openbabel. I am recently interested in QEq methods which can calculate partial charge based upon a certain input geometry. However i try to use a command which i found in the internet "babel -imol Au12.mol -omol2 Au12.mol2 --partialcharge qeq", but the result in Au12.mol2 shows partial charge on atoms are all zero. I am wondering are there some steps overlooked by me or is it the correct result predicted by Qeq method? It seems to me the results not physically reasonable because for clusters it shall be some charge dispersion which the numerical value might be small but can't be all zero. I wonder if the developer or users can test it for me and see if it is my problem or not ? Your kindness is much appreciated. I shall provide the Au12.mol file for your convenience.
