lamaGOET: an interface for quantum crystallography.

In quantum crystallography, theoretical calculations and crystallographic refinements are closely intertwined. This means that the employed software must be able to perform both quantum-mechanical calculations and crystallographic least-squares refinements. So far, the program Tonto is the only one able to do that. The lamaGOET interface described herein deals with this issue since it interfaces dedicated quantum-chemical software (the widely used Gaussian package and the specialized ELMOdb program) with the refinement capabilities of Tonto. Three different flavours of quantum-crystallographic refinements of the dipetide glycyl-l-threonine dihydrate are presented to showcase the capabilities of lamaGOET: Hirshfeld atom refinement (HAR), HAR-ELMO, namely HAR coupled with extremely localized molecular orbitals, and X-ray constrained wavefunction fitting.
