As per the available literature reports, the super-delocalizability parameter can be calculated by extracting the bonding energy coefficient of the molecular orbital and the molecular orbital coefficient at a particular position (or atom) of the molecule from the Gaussian output file obtained from the population analysis. The output file contains a section where molecular orbital coefficients for individual atoms and atomic orbital contribution along with an eigenvalue. Since, the eigenvalue for HOMO are always negative (in the denominator), the super-delocalizability term should be negative. I can't figure out where I am going wrong. Can someone please suggest how to calculate the super-delocalizability parameter manually from the Gaussian output file (without using Multiwfn or UCA-Fukui)?
