Subject: heterodiene with mopac

Dear CCLers


AM1 calculations (full geometry optimization) of the energies and Pz
coefficients of the HOMO and the LUMO of the heterodiene
3-methylene-2,4-chromandione were reported by Appendino<italic> et
al.</italic> (<italic>J. Org. Chem.</italic> 1994, 59, 5556-5564).

As an exercise, I carried out the same calculations with the QCPE
program MOPAC 6.0 (PRECISE, EF, full geometry optimization) implemented
within SYBYL 6.5 and found differences of signs of the orbital
coefficients. How to explain such a result? Did I forget an additional
keyword?

Thanking you in advance

Many thanks to all who replied to my e-mail last week, some people asked me to summarise the
responses and here they are (order of appearance is totally arbitrary):

1.) Mark Saeys

I know of two articles that compare different functionals for transition 
metal dimers, but I am not sure if they compare hybrid functionals-I know 
they conclude that pure functionals are more reliable than hybrid, because 
the HF part deteriorates the results.

Homonuclear 3d transition-metal diatomics: A systematic density functional 
theory study, Barden, C.J., J.C. Rienstra-Kiracofe, H.F. Schaefer III, J. 
Chem. Phys.113(2), 690-700 (2000)

An investigation of density functionals: The first-row transition metal 
dimer calculations, Yanagisawa S., T. Tsuneda, K. Hirao, J. Chem. Phys. 
112: (2) 545-553 (2000) 

2.) Marcel Swart
there is a paper by Ulf Ryde (I think this year), in which he 
compares Becke-Perdew and B3LYP
to MP2 geometries for model systems of the active site of type-1 
copper proteins.
I can't remember exactly in which journal etc., but I could look it up for you.

I needed to look it up myself, so here is the ref:
U. Ryde et al., Theor.Chem.Acc. (2001) 105:452-462

3.) RNDr. Jan Hrusak CSc.
You may have a look to the papers published by us few years ago. I do not
have them handy now, but if you look for some of the authors - i.e, Hrusak,
Koch, Holthausen you will find most of them.

4.) Luis Antonio
There are two papers that you might be interested:

    Chem. Phys. Letters 268 (1997) 345.
     J. Mol. Struct. (THEOCHEM) 430 (1998) 9.

    There you can find comparisons of B3LYP with other functionals. 

5.) Per-Ola Norrby
A good source would be "Computational Organometallic 
Chemistry", edited by Tom Cundari, avaliable from Marcel-Dekker. 
Specifically, chapter 4 by Diedenhofen, Wagener, and Frenking, does 
exactly the comparison you're asking for.

	You can find the book at this link:

Dear CCLers,

I am looking for on-line databases which maintain a collection of all the complex structures from PDB. Basically a complete list is desired. If all the entries are organized in a logic way, that will be a major plus.

I have checked "PDBSum" at http://www.biochem.ucl.ac.uk/bsm/pdbsum/ and "Relibase" at http://relibase.ebi.ac.uk/. Both of them provide some forms of useful information. I will appreciate it very much if anyone has other clues. I will certainly put back the summary.

Hi, dear CCLers,

Does anyone use spartan? Could you please give me some comments on the
software compare to gaussian. I am now using the demo version of
spartan, the support said it is full version with the time limit. While
I do geometry optimization on my peptide-like compound under MP2/6-31G*
or DF/DN*, if I constrain the dihedral angle of peptide (related) bone,
then it seems the program went into a dead cycle, and did not give any
further step energy output, or the energy became larger and larger. I do
not know what wrong with it. Could anyone who have used the program give
me some idea about that? Any reply is appreciated.

Thanks, have a good day.

William.

Dear CCLers,

I'd like to perform a Monte Carlo simmulated annealing for some small ligands. I would be grateful
if somebody can suggest a link as to where I might find a good protocol for performing the SA. I
would like use discover or discover_3 in in insightII but somehow I can't seem to be able to
generate the input files for simulated annealing. Any clues on how I can do it? I'll summarize the
answers.
