# prop

`psi4.driver.``prop`(*args, **kwargs)

  Function to compute various properties.

  Aliases: | prop()
  Returns: | none.

  Caution

  Some features are not yet implemented. Buy a developer a coffee.

  - This function at present has a limited functionality. Consult the keywords sections of other modules for further property capabilities.

  Parameters: | name (string) – `'ccsd'` || etc. First argument, usually unlabeled. Indicates the computational method to be applied to the system. properties (array of strings) – \(\Rightarrow\) `[]` \(\Leftarrow\) || `['rotation', 'polarizability', 'oscillator_strength', 'roa']` || etc. Indicates which properties should be computed. Defaults to dipole and quadrupole. molecule (molecule) – `h2o` || etc. The target molecule, if not the last molecule defined.
