[molpro-user] Calculation of the properties of the outermost electron of an atom

[sasha medvedev]

 Hello, Tatiana Korona.
Thanks for your advise.

I also noticed in the molpro mailing list (  http://www.molpro.net/pipermail/molpro-user/2014-March/005880.html ), that one can look at contribution of 
each orbital to the matrix element of a one-particle operator with the help of the property program.
