Abstract
An external geometry optimizer (BOptimize) is described that can be used together with a number of existing quantumโchemical codes (Gaussian, GamessโUK, Turbomole, ADF, Orca, Priroda, SpartanโPM3, Mopac) and allows flexible and general constrained optimizations. Some details of the implementation are discussed, and examples are provided of constrained optimizations that would be difficult or impossible to perform with existing optimizers. ยฉ 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract A method is developed for the combination of quantum chemical geometry optimizations and crystallographic structure refinement. The method is implemented by integrating the quantum chemical software Turbomole with the crystallographic software Crystallography and NMR System (CNS), using
