12. The numerical integration is performed using the quadrature technique related to the AIM algorithm as included in link604 of Gaussian 98 with IOP(44) set to 4. Local modifications were introduced in order to obtain the electron population inside the envelope. This procedure is different from the Monte Carlo algorithm also available in Gaussian and described in: M.W. Wong, K.B. Wiberg and M.J. Frisch, J. Comput. Chem.16, (1995) p.385.
