ResumoWe present a Fortran implementation of four-index integral transformation in the LCAO-MO (linear combination of atomic orbitals–molecular orbitals) framework that exploits symmetry. Electron correlation calculations, such as configuration interaction (CI) calculations, usually require electron repulsion integrals to be transformed to a molecular orbital basis from a basis using atomic orbitals. In large molecular systems it is vital to exploit the sparsity of integrals in making this transformation. By exploiting symmetry, the sparsity of integrals is fully utilized, the size of intermediate file is minimized, and the computational cost is reduced. The present algorithm is simple and can readily be added to existing quantum chemistry program packages.Title of program: SYM4TR (symmetry adapted 4-index integral transformation)Catalogue identifier: ADUWProgram summary URL: http://cpc.cs.qub.ac.uk/summaries/ADUWProgram obtainable from: CPC Program Library, Queen's University of Belfast, N.

By exploiting the sparsity of molecular integrals, the computational cost and memory needed for the transformation are minimized.Method of solution: The sparsity of molecular integrals is exploited. The program treats only nonzero integrals. The length of running indices in DO loops is reduced using the block-diagonal form of the MO coefficient matrix. In the present program, the point group is limited to D2h and its subgroups.
