Hello,
I need to compute the exchange and correlation energy of some simple molecules separately. I was wondering how to print them separately in the output of NWChem as the dft module outputs the following energies.

Total DFT energy
One electron energy
Coulomb energy
Exchange-Corr. energy (together, I want to know each of their contribution)
Nuclear repulsion energy

Thanks in advance.

If use use the directive DECOMP in the dft section, you get the printout of the separate Exchange and Correlation energies at convergence, e.g.

dft
  xc b3lyp
 decomp
end
