Subject: CCL:Re: program for superimposing molecules

Sorry for replying lately (my holidays finished yesterday).
The freeware ARMS runs on linux rather than windows,
but it does more than superimposing conformers and computing
RMSD: it outputs the common 3D motif. When the common 3D
motif contains all atoms of the conformer(s), it means
that the two conformers do not differ significantly.
So, you do not need any arbitrary RMSD threshold.
The freeware CSR do the same task, but works also for
any pair of molecules (different number of atoms).

Subject: CCL:Re: caged molecules

The chiralanes are highly bridged chiral molecules with non planar graphs
wihich actually have no IUPAC name. The simplest is C27H28.
Contact the webmaster of http://www.mazepath.com/uncleal/eotvos.htm
at organiker{at}lycos.com, and ask him the hin files.

Dear CCL users,

   I received this clear answer from Dr. Philip to my question about the D- 
and L-Arabinose. Dr. Philip
sent me an attached file with the clear answer. I thought It is worthy to 
pose his answer to the netters.
Many thanks to Dr.Philip.

   Regards,
Ibrahim

Hello,
I do not know exactly what kind of system are you looking for (in terms 
of number of atoms) but you might want to take a glance to some 
inorganic books focused on boron. There are some series of caged complex 
of boron (closo-, nido-, and arachno- boranes) that could be useful.
I also remember a post regarding molecules with funny structures related 
to architecture. I saved some mails from that topic and here they are (I 
hope they are not too many):


+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 I highly recommend you to browse the literarure authored by Leo Paquette,
he is an organic chemist who has built some "structuraly fair" molecules.
Look Figure 4 in his website:
http://www.chemistry.ohio-state.edu/cgi/brochure?Faculty=Paquette
More complicated simmetrical structures within his publications.
Hope it helps

the names "pagodane" and "housane" come into my mind.

There should be sort of a review
that was published recently on Chemistry - A European Journal. The author
should be Vincenzo Balzani.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You might want to look at "supramolecular" chemistry, where molecules 
are used as "building blocks" to
make more complicated structures.  Typically these are held together by 
hydrogen bonds or similar
interactions.
 
There are also articles on molecular versions of the construction 
toys, "Tinkertoys" and "Meccano",
perhaps others.  (These are analogies used by the authors of the papers, 
but do are not meant to imply
any connection to the companies that manufacture these toys or own the 
trademarks thereto).  These are
typically rigid molecules which react, forming covalently bonded structures.
 
Hope this helps,

 I don't know if this is entirely applicable but Jerry Atwood at University
of Missouri - Columbia has been publishing on large self-assembled
molecules that represent the Platonic and Aristolean solids which might
interest Architecture students. Can't recall the references off the top of
my head though.

Sounds like a tough audience.  Here are a few that come to mind and 
might help.

Hydrocarbons:  Tetrahedran, housane, basketane, cubane (just search on 
the names to get structures for but you c
Others come to mind but need a bit of imagination, for example, DNA 
looks like a spiral staircase.

Hope this helps.

Dear All

I am looking for frequency, ZPVE, etc. scaling factors for the =
B3LYP/6-31G method.  I have located and read Scott&Radom's paper, but it =
does not address this level of theory.  So, I am looking for an article =
(or other source) that addresses the scaling factors for this level of =
theory.

Thank you for any and all assistance.
