What is the difference between zero-point and total energy of a molecule in the output of an ORCA FREQ calculation?
I am trying to find the enthalpies of formation for a couple organometallics in ORCA and as a first time user I am a bit bogged down in the terminology. The Gaussian manual has a section on these ...

How to reconcile conflict between assumed oxidation state and the most stable multiplicity from electronic structure calculations?
Consider either of the small, neutral molecules containing two Zn atoms below. If I were to determine the oxidation state of Zn from this molecule, I would formally assume each Zn to be Zn(I) in order ...
