No density file is written with --spinpol option

[zilviuz]

I am trying to write to disk the spin density for a free radical, but when I activate the spinpol option xtb won't do so. Here is my command line:

xtb --input xtb.inp --molden radicale_propile-opt.xyz --spinpol --tblite --uhf 2

and my input file (xtb.inp):

$write json=true spin density=true $cube step=0.200

Github won't allow me to attach my xyz file, so here it is:

8

C -3.29241 3.36721 -0.04559 C -2.74829 1.97439 0.26550 C -1.22804 1.95824 0.26911 H -3.33840 1.14811 0.45005 H -0.70234 2.82495 0.07553 H -0.72180 1.08056 0.46514 H -4.36209 3.34171 -0.03990 H -2.94816 3.67740 -1.01005

Kind regards,

Silvio

xTB is currently not able to write such a spindensity. I have a small project that can do this tbcube but it is not really user ready and has to be compiled by yourself.

I understand. But is it anyway possible to write molecular orbitals in Molden format from a spin polarised calculation? That way I could possibly obtain the spin density with MultiWFN.
