Dear CCLer's
 
    I sent the following message several times to CCL. But I think that it did 
not delivered properly because I did not receive my message back until now. So,
here it goes again. Sorry if you receive the same message several times.
 
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Message Sent +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Dear CCLer's
 
    I am sorry if it is a little bit off topic.
 
    I was looking for references on the calculation of Lattice Energies of 
Metallic Salts (formed between Li+, Na+, K+, or Ag+, or Cu+ cation and Cl-, Br-,
N3-, or SCN-,....anion) using the periodic first-principle calculations. But I 
could not locate any reference. Would you please tell me some relevant 
references?
 
    I also interested in doing such calculations. Could somebody please tell me
the starting point of such calculations(softwares, Web page, book,,,)? 
 
    Thank you for your help in advance.
 
Chan.

With best wishes,
 
Chan

Dear List

I have couple questions about installing AutoDock 3.0.5. I read the install 
instruction, but I dont quite understand how can I use a pre-compiled 
executable. In the instruction said

To use a pre-compiled exectutable:
----------------------------------
Copy the executable for your hardware type and operating system to the 
desired place, usually where-ever you keep your other programs.

If you have problems running a pre-compiled binary, you may need to compile 
your own executable, for your specific machine architecture and operating 
system version.

I dont quite understand what the instruction means by "copy the excutable 
for your hardware type and OS to the desired place".

Anyhow, since I did not understand the first option so I tried the second 
option, which is to compile my own excutables:

To compile your own executables:
--------------------------------
(1) Change directory to dist_3.0/src, and all sub-directories, like 
autotors, autogrid, and autodock.
(2) Read any README files.
(3) Edit the Makefile in each to be appropriate for your architecture.  This 
may mean commenting and uncommenting various options.
(4) Type "make" at the Unix prompt, in each sub-directory.

I tried but I could only compile one sub-directories which is protonate. I 
believed my problem was that my workstation didnt have gcc so I downloaded 
>from the internet. However, it didnt come with the installation instruction, 
so I got the error massage "gcc doesnt install".

I would like to know if any of you know how to install gcc. By the way, my 
workstation is HP9000.

Thanks

ICCN 2001
---------
Advanced computational techniques in the nano and micro
regimes are paramount in the advancement of nanoscience.
ICCN provides a forum for the interdisciplinary blending of
computational efforts in biology, chemistry, physics and
materials, founded on inherently similar ab initio approaches,
applied towards traditionally distinct disciplines.

MSM 2001
--------
The largest gathering in the field worldwide, MSM is the premier
technical forum for presenting the latest research and development
in modeling and simulation methods, tools and applications in the
MEMS, microelectronic, semiconductor, sensor, materials and
biotechnology fields.

Venue
-----
The 2001 ACRS Joint Meeting will be held at the luxurious,
Hilton Oceanfront Resort.  This beach front venue is tucked
away on breathtaking Hilton Head Island, off the southeastern
tip of South Carolina, U.S.A.

In addition to the conference technical program, an exciting 
list of social activities are being planned to allow attendees
ample opportunity to enjoy this exquisite island location,
which enjoys a subtropical climate year-round.

It has been brought to our attention that four issues of  the Journal of
ComputationalChemistry, Volume 21, contain serious typographical errors.  Only
the print edition of  the journal was affected. The equations were correctly
represented in  the on-line edition of the journal in both PDF and HTML formats.

To redress this situation, we are reprinting the affected issues in their
entirety, and will send replacement copies to all subscribers, advising them to
destroy the first, incorrect copies. In addition, corresponding authors of
affected articles will be contacted directly, and provided with complimentary
reprints of their corrected articles  as well as on-line access to the Journal
for the remainder of 2000.

hi all,

i'm trying to find published QSAR-work wich used the allignment programm
GASP from Tripos. 

would be very nice if anyone can point me to relevant citations, or
maybe even his own experiences.

thanks a lot!

MDPI has financial problem to publish them for free. I

I too mourn the passing of an opportunity to create a grassroots
opportunity, but wish to point out a few things.

First, NOTHING kept anyone from starting such an effort at any time in the
past. In fact, the Chemistry Preprint Server form ChemWeb is NOT the first
such effort in chemistry. Way back in 1994 and 1995 (ancient history on the
web), a Chemical Physics preprint server was enacted originating from Brown
University utilizing the same code as the LANL preprint server. This effort
was essentailly a failure as few authors submitted.

Second, we will continue to wait for ACS to make any action with regard to
preprint servers. At the presidential plenary session at the ACS meeting
this past Sunday, Bob Bovenshulte indicated that ACS publications is
continuing to examine the idea. This concept has been under evaluation at
ACS for 18 months already, so one should not hold one's breath waiting for a
final determination. ACS journals generally hold a policy that submission to
a preprint server constitutes prior publication and therefore disqualifies
the article from publication in an ACS journal. This policy is however
determined by the editor of each individual journal and one should petition
the editors for clarification of their respective policies. I should note
that there is now general policy statement from Elsevier concerning this
issue either.

Third, there is no question that Chemweb is a subsidiary of Elsevier.
However, I question exactly what has been given to the Elsevier monopoly
here. When an author places an article into the preprint archive, the author
assigns no rights to Chemweb. The author retains the copyright and all
rights associated with the article. Elsevier cannot charge for access to the
article or reproduce it in any form without the express written consent of
the author. Chemweb (or Elsevier if you prefer) acts as the conduit for
access. Fairly subtle ad placement is the only source of income for Chemweb
for providing this service. (In the interest of full disclosure, I am on the
advisory board for the CPS.)

Lastly, my conclusion form the plenary session on online preprints was that
many people are unaware of what a preprint server is and what its
implications really are. Unquestionably, education of the chemical community
IS the first priority towards making any serious change to our publication
system. I concur with Steve Berry who argued at the plenary session that we
should be trying many different experiments, learning along the way,
adopting good things and throwing out those that fail. I view the CPS as
being one of the necessary experiments and hope that many more experiemnts
in publication (not just preprint severvices) will follow in the near
future.

Steve

Greetings CCLers,
	I noticed from a recent publication (Cundari, T.R. and 
Moody,E.W, Theochem 425 (1998) 43-50) on the calculation of 
formation enthalpies of 52 diatomic oxides, that the relative deviation 
>from experiment was most pronounced for ZnO and HgO, in both
cases, being larger than 100 %. In fact, the calculated enthalpies of 
formation had signs opposite to that obtained experimentally. It was 
also seen that all of the other oxides agreed to within 50 % relative to 
the experimental heat of formation. The calculations were carried out 
using MCSCF wavefunctions and ROHF method. Perhaps someone 
could please explain why ZnO and HgO behave in this anomalous 
manner and speculate whether the same is expected from the 
analogous CdO. I will summarise all responses which I receive.

Thanks.
