Have a look at the documentation for the 'R contributed code' at the website
http://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/CRAN/src/contrib/PACKAGES.html.

Especially look at the PDF's for cclust and clust.

Each cluster procedure has references... Also a hclust procedure must be in some
of these modules... that one is for hierarchical clustering.

yours sincerely,

Egon Willighagen

Make sure that your chosen method doesn't violate the ultrametric 
inequality rule. I use Geometric (cluster centred), minimal variance,
agglomerative clustering [1] can be applied to an rms difference-distance
matrix and the number of significant clusters identified by Mojena's
Stopping Rule No.1 (p < 0.05) [2].

I hope this helps

Subject:       SOMO of the radical 
Priority: normal
X-mailer: Pegasus Mail/Windows (v1.22)
Message-ID: <A817B15F6@wchuwr.chem.uni.wroc.pl>

Dear CCLers,

From N linearly independent basis functions of the radical (S=1/2) 
one can construct N alpha and N beta orbitals:
N alfa = (n-1) CORE + 1 SOMO occupied + (N-n) VIRTUAL
N beta = (n-1) CORE + 1 SOMO unoccupied + (N-n) VIRTUAL
where n denotes the number of electrons. 

Unrestricted DFT wavefunctions of the radicals are usually 
constructed using identical (or almost identical) spatial orbitals 
for different spins (alpha, beta) in the case of CORE and VIRTUAL
MO.
Lowest energy (occupied) alpha-spin SOMO and highest energy 
(unoccupied) beta-spin SOMO can be also very similar to each other 
but sometimes they are strongly asymmetrical. A knowledge of 
the SOMO contour can be helpful in the analysis of the spin density 
distribution as well as the values of the calculated hyperfine coupling 
constants for the radicals.

My question is:
When SOMO occupied (alpha) and SOMO unoccupied (beta) are 
dissimilar which of them (or what combination of these SOMOs) 
can be used to aid spin density analysis?
In some cases I have observed that the spin density contours were 
similar to the highest energy beta-spin SOMO (unoccupied!!) contour
 rather than to the occupied alpha-spin SOMO; and what is the 
energy (in Hartree) of that SOMO when:      
E(lowest energy VMO)= -0.06916(alpha) -0.06008(beta)
E(highest energy SOMO)= -0.12635(beta)  
E(lowest energy SOMO)= -0.26301(alpha)
E(highest energy DOMO)= -0.24908(alpha) -0.24319(beta)?

I will summarize.
Thank you in advance.

Adrian

Dear cclers,

I'm doing the work of side chain construction at the protein-protein
interface. The computational result was suffered from the incompleteness
of the rotamer library, which is backbone independent and contains more
than 300 elements. Can anyone tell me where can I get a more detailed
library? Thanks in adance!

Hi,

For the method we use in our xcluster program (single-link 
hierarchical clustering), see:

	Shenkin, P. S.; McDonald, D. Q., "Cluster Analysis of Molecular
	Conformations", J. Comput. Chem. 1994, 15, 899-916.

There's a reference in this paper to an excellent book on cluster
analysis;  however, I don't have a copy of the paper with me at
this moment, and I don't recall the author's name offhand.

	-P.

Here is the summary for computational ways to calculate the refractive index
of materials.

As with other molecular properties, there are empirical (bond additivity)
and "more" rigorous methods.  Some have been incorporated into commercial
code.  There are also several recent, relevant articles on the topic.

Thanks to all that replied.

	I did not work on refractive index itself, but I can comment
briefly on the Ratner et al article. I think in general that the
refractive index is accurately obtained from accurate polarizabilities. =
My
following comments are all on 'accuracy of polarizabilities' and thus =
may
be not exactly what you want to know about!=20
	a. They calculate frequency-dependent polarizability for one
non-zero freq. In my previous work I only calculated the static =
(freq=3D0)=20
polarizability.=20
	b. Neglect of e- correlation may work for benzene but is not
accurate enough for many other molecules.
	c. the average polarizability is easier to get right than the
anisotropy of the polarizability.
	d. Accurate geometries (rather than assumed model geometries) lead
to more accurate polarizabilites.
	e. Additive models of polarizability were earlier a part of my
papers, listed below (not mentioned by Ratner, et al.).

	For discussion of methods for polarizabilities of azoles, please
refer to:

> "Polarizabilities of aromatic five-membered rings: azoles," Journal =

in which we advocated using a specially optimized basis set for
polarizabilities (labelled 'C') which had 5s3p2d basis functions for C =
and
N. We advocated using the MP2 level of theory to recover the bulk of
electron correlation effects for such routine molecules. In subsequent
work, we calculated polarizabilities for oxazoles, azines, and 87
boron-nitrogen containing monocycles, all using the MP2/C level in =
order
to obtain a consistent database of reasonably accurate =
polarizabilities.
The method used is 'finite field'.

The refractive index is directly related to the polarizability of a

high-level basis sets because the "outer regions" are important.  One =

needs to think about how to average the polarizability since it is, in

like, "Dielectric Properties and Molecular Behavior," N. Hill, W.E. =

Hi,

the SCHAKAL format is quite easy:

TITL some title, e.g. the name of the output that provided the
geometry
CELL 1 1 1 90 90 90 ### these are the unit cell dimensions,
                                   ### lengths and angles
ATOM N1 -0.27637072297 1.13190217285 0
ATOM H2 0.5 2. -1
                ### more lines for atoms with the ATOM keyword, an
                ### atom name and three fractional coordinates. (The
                ### program comes from crystallography.) If you use
                ### the cell dimensions as above, fractional and
cartesian
                ### coordinates have identical values.

There is some fortran code for a variety of cluster methods, at

http://win-www.uia.ac.be/u/statis/programs/clusfind_readme.html

It supports the book Kaufman and Rousseeuw, Finding Groups in Data, Wiley,
1990.

Hi,

Last year in May there was a vivid discussion on the CCL about using
XML/CML for storing chemical information. I recently checked up the
website http://www.xml-cml.org and it seems quite dead... 
The only software available is a bunch of java classes and the CML DTD
(DocumentTypeDescription).

If I would like to read or write CML/XML files from my programs written in
C or Fortran do I have to write a complete library to do it? If I would do
that, would others be interested to use it in their software? To extend
the library? 

Groeten, David.

The website doesn't contain that much information indeed... their are several projects
ongoing though... their is one about using CML in publications, one about storing
NMR data in CML and ofcourse JChemPaint and Jmol that read and write CML (for 2D and
3D structures and 3D animations).

The site is not dead!  We will very shortly be mounting a  CML schema,
which can be used to validate CML documents, and we currently have
an article in the process of being refereed. Once (if!) accepted, this
will address several of the issues raised above

Dear CCLer's;
Could anybody give some information about C2?
C2 can have triplet or singlet state and I would like to know which is
more stable and what is the energy gap between two states? 
Thank you in advance.

yours
