Abstract

A time-dependent method has been developed to solve the standard response equation for the calculation of dynamic molecular property densities, endowed with the characteristic of being origin-invariant, entirely in the atomic orbital basis at both HF and DFT level of theory. The method has been tuned in particular for the calculation of origin-independent electric dipole polarizability density and specific rotation power density. Some demonstrations are given for the hexabenzocoronene molecule and the Tröger base.
