[CP2K-user] Charge effect on PDOS

[Sun Geng]

Hi Devyesh,

I think there is no universal tool to analyze bond strength. 
The suitable method depends your question in hand.
Charge difference, PDOS etc is general tool inferring the 'chemical bond'.

On the other hand, check this paper,
Introducing DDEC6 atomic population analysis: part 3. Comprehensive method 
to compute bond orders, by Thomas A. Manz
which can calculate the "bond order", to quantify the bond strength. 
The program chargmol is compatible with CP2k.

Best,
