I am trying to salvage old data, and one of my output files is in Molden format.
- I tried downloading Molden at its homesite but the link does not seem to work.
- Is there another way to access Molden format files?
Thank you very much.

I am fairly sure Molden can be downloaded. However, programs like JMol, and Chemcraft are usually cross-compatiblr with molden.
.molden
files, it is able to open .wfn
files. So if using ChemCraft (or any other .wfn
-compatible software that can't read .molden
files) is imperative, my answer might be helpful.

In case you're OK with converting, Molden2AIM may be a good alternative.
It is able to convert .molden
files into .wfn
files which are easier to handle in my opinion (the software actually does a bit more than just that, such as generating .47
files for NBO analysis).
If your .molden
files were generated by ORCA, you may also try an automated script that handles the details of using Molden2AIM for you.
