Dear All, 
 
I am looking for references describing intra or inter-molecular Hydrogen bonds (life time for 
example) observed in small organic molecules, peptides or nucleic acids during ... some 
experiments (for instance during molecular dynamics simulations). 
 
Thanks, best regards, Francois

Dear Laurence, dear Yong,

although I have not too much experience in searching TS, but based on 
all my COSMO experience -  I strongly disagree with the opinion that it 
makes any sense to use simple spherical or ellipsoidal cavity Onsager 
models for TS search in solution. The solvation energies strongly depend 
on the size, orientation and position of the cavity relative to the 
molecule, that these kinds of cavities anyway only make sense of quite 
spherical or ellipsoidal molecules. For all others you could as well use 
a random number generator, with the only difference that the sign of the 
dielectric energy correction will always be right.  This is so much more 
true for TS, which tend to be very "non-spherical", and the degree of 
deviation from a spherical shape changes strongly along the reaction path.

For TS search in continuum solvation models everything else than a good 
molecular shaped cavity is useless. I am not absolutely convinced that 
the way of smoothing between atomic spheres with auxiliary spheres as 
done in PCM (GEPOL) is optimal, because each of the auxiliary spheres 
has the wrong curvature (convex), while in the interpolation region 
(crevices) we need a concave surface. In our more advanced COSMO 
implementations in TURBOMOLE, GAMESS (not yet officially released), and 
MOPAC98/2000/2002 we have a better interpolation for those regions, 
which become of special importance during reactions.

Another point of importance in the application of dielectric continuum 
solvation methods to TS is the choice of radii for the cavity 
construction. United atom definitions and atom-type based definitions 
are quite useless, because the atoms loose their clear bond partners and 
atom types during a reaction. In our COSMO and COSMO-RS 
parameterizations we only use element specific radii, which should keep 
valid during a reaction. This set of radii is also available in 
Gaussion03 now.

The fact that DFT might not be optimal for TS at all is a different 
issue. Use of more refined schemes like COSMO-RS (COSMOtherm program) 
for corrections beyond the dielectric level (including hydrogen bonding) 
may be required as well.
So I agree, that TS search in solution is still a very demanding area of 
research, and no turn key solutions exist here. But going back to the 
Onsager level is the wrong direction!

Dear Steve,

Probably MOLPRO is the right choice. I would recommend to follow
the approach of 2001 paper by Ram. CASSCF optimizations and MP2 corrections
can be done using Gamess which is a little bit more user-friendly program
(on my
opinion). But MRCI - it's MOLPRO business,.. and it's not easy.
Best regards,
Olga

Dear CCL list:

I am reluctant to use this list for any reason that differs from
scientific exchange, but I feel that all my colleagues must be aware of
the recent news regarding to my country.

It have came to me the horrendous information that the ACS, compelled by
the US government, has forbidden to authors of (by this precise order)
 Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, or Sudan  to publish on their journals. This,
> from my point of view, is the ultimate violation of the rights of the
people that devote their life to the development of science. No
political reasons are valid to exclude anyone from the scientific
community, mostly if those are from third developed countries who are
the ones who required all the help that they can get. In the case of my
country they are no reason to declare such blockade, cause we are not a
thread to anyone: instead of this they are thousands of Cubans in a lot
of countries helping in fields like health care, agriculture, education
and many others that are vital. My country is also the place of birth of
lots of prestigious scientist like Tomas Romaig, Felipe Poey, Carlos J.
Finlay, Pedro Kourm, and many others that have make serious advances in
different fields of knowledge. This is a dark precedent to the new
generation of researches in my country, that sincerely appreciate the
tremendous scientific capacities of the American science, and once again
must feel excluded without reason. Be then this mail a note of
disappointment and protest.

Best Regards,
--

I am interested in the comments about seeking solvated Transition
Structures.

We recently completed a study of SN2 displacements in sugar analogues using
B3LYP and both Onsager and IPCM solvation - the manuscripts are under review
now for J Phys Chem A (the story of this research project is a very long and
convoluted one and I won't get into it here).

However, we did not have any particular difficulty in locating first-order
saddle points using Onsager solvation.  We did this work with Gaussian 98,
which meant that we could not do geometry optimizations using IPCM (and the
SC-IPCM didn't work).  We simply took "gas phase" structures as starting
points, and ran either Opt=TS or QST3 calculations from there using the
Onsager solvation model.  We then did single-point energy calculations using
IPCM solvation at the Onsager geometries, assuming that the actual
geometries would not be greatly different even though the energies would.

The results we obtained using this approach seemed to us to be quite in line
with expectations.

I would be very interested in hearing how others have fared using IPCM,
SC-IPCM or other higher-order continuum solvation models for geometry
optimizations with Gaussian 03.

List:

Pardon my doubting Thomas nature.  Can anyone confirm this.  I have no
doubt that the current gov't of the US might pull something like this
and, unfortunately, I can figure out the reasons why the ACS might bow
to the demand.  However, this would truly be a black mark against ACS. 

Thanks.

Dear CCL list:

I am reluctant to use this list for any reason that differs from
scientific exchange, but I feel that all my colleagues must be aware
of
the recent news regarding to my country.

It have came to me the horrendous information that the ACS, compelled
by
the US government, has forbidden to authors of (by this precise order)
 Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, or Sudan  to publish on their journals.
This,
> from my point of view, is the ultimate violation of the rights of
the
people that devote their life to the development of science. No
political reasons are valid to exclude anyone from the scientific
community, mostly if those are from third developed countries who are
the ones who required all the help that they can get. In the case of
my
country they are no reason to declare such blockade, cause we are not
a
thread to anyone: instead of this they are thousands of Cubans in a
lot
of countries helping in fields like health care, agriculture,
education
and many others that are vital. My country is also the place of birth
of
lots of prestigious scientist like Tomas Romaig, Felipe Poey, Carlos
J.
Finlay, Pedro Kourm, and many others that have make serious advances
in
different fields of knowledge. This is a dark precedent to the new
generation of researches in my country, that sincerely appreciate the
tremendous scientific capacities of the American science, and once
again
must feel excluded without reason. Be then this mail a note of
disappointment and protest.

Best Regards,

Hi,

While I understand your reaction to being excluded from ACS journals, I
would suggest that you should avoid ACS publications anyway due to their
restrictive copyright policy that prevents authors from posting their own
publications on their own websites.  The APS is much more liberal, as is
the completely free http://www.plos.org/ effort.

This was published November 24 in Chemical and Engineering News:

----
ACS imposes moratorium on some foreign papers

The American Chemical Society has imposed a moratorium on publishing
journal articles that are written by authors in Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya,
or Sudan. Robert D. Bovenschulte, president of the society's
Publications Division, writes in a memorandum to ACS journal editors
that "this action, which I hope will be temporary," has been taken "with
great reluctance." The moratorium follows a ruling by the Treasury
Department, whose Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) "advised that
papers from these nations may be published but only if no editorial
services are provided," Bovenschulte writes. Such services could be
deemed to violate U.S. trade sanctions against the countries. The
Treasury Department ruling was prompted by actions of the Institute of
Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which is attempting to obtain
a license from OFAC that will allow IEEE to edit articles by authors in
the affected countries. If IEEE, which Bovenschulte notes has "taken the
lead with the government on this problem," can obtain such a license,
"ACS can then use that precedent to make the same case to OFAC and so
obtain our own license."

This information is correct. Actually, it does not only affect ACS, but
*ALL* US scientific societies with a publishing branch. ACS is not the
first to suffer - it all started with the IEEE:

Can you verify an official source/reference/link for this news?  If it is 
true, I think it is absolutely disgraceful and totally misguided.  Although 
repeating the obvious probably, scientific publication should be based on 
merit, quality and originality alone.  And such a measure, surely is 
counter-productive even from a political point of view:  Today's world will 
progress only by supporting knowledge leaders and cultivators in these 
countries.  Are am I missing something here?

Original Q:
If I run relaxed Potential Energy Surface (PES) scan under Gaussian 98, the
Z-Matrix card error always comes to me.
......
 Error on Z-matrix card number   11
 angle Alpha is outside the valid range of 0 to 180.
 Conversion from Z-matrix to cartesian coordinates failed:
......

I explored on this issue. There are two possible situations related to this.
One is the Z-Matrix definition on ring system. The other is the torsional
angle reaching 0 degree. (Please let me know if I am wrong.)

This happens to me all the time. Check the angle on atom 11. It's probably
either greater than 180 degrees, or negative. If that's not it, check the
torsion for that atom. It doesn't matter if the torsion is big or
negative, but it the middle angle of the torsion is out of bounds, it will
cause an error (so if it's defined A-B-C-D, both A-B-C and B-C-D have to
be between 0 and 180 degrees, but A-B-C-D can be anything.

Generally this problem is solved by adding a dummy atom.
Example
if I have a triatomic molecule ABC and I want to see how the
energy changes as I change the angle ABC from 90 degree's
through 180 degree's inclusive every thing works fine until the angle
hits 180 degree's. Then the program crashes with the error
message you describe. The solution is to make up a new molecule
   X
ABC
where the angle ABX=90 degree's and X is bonded to B. if you then
scan a new angle XBC from 0 to 90 degree's then no problem will
be encountered.  For more complicated situations you'l have to be
a little more inventive, but in general the principle is the same.
Hope this helps,
All the best

>>>>>>>>>>
Funny, I have just been wrestling with the same problem myself! I
suspect the second option you mentioned, namely: The Z-matrix only
accepts angles between 0 and 180 degrees, so of course one first has to
make sure there are no 0 or 180 angles in the initial molecule
specification. However, this is sometimes not enough, since it can
happen that an initial structure with an angle close to the cutoff
values gets optimized to a structure where the angle does indeed
"overstep the bounds", causing Gaussian to crash! The solution would be
to redefine the problem atoms in terms of less "dangerous" angles (i.e.
angles which could potentially become less than 0 or more than 180 in
the course of the optimization), using dummy atoms if neccessary, or
simply adding a ModRedundant section and doing the PES scan in redundant
internal coordinates.

Good luck!

>>>>>>>>>>
In my experience, g98 only allows Z-matrix angles to be between 0 and 180
degees.  Some other programs, e.g., mopac, permit them to be between 0 and
360 degrees.

The solution is to redefine your z-matrix.  If you are using WebMO Pro,
there is a z-matrix editor that does exactly that!

I hope this can help to build our problem-soving database.

Dear Joslyn,

Molden can display molecular orbitals generated by Gaussian, Molpro and =
probably the other popular programs. However even the windows version of =
Molden requires an x server. There should be some trial versions of free =
x servers. Alternatively, Cygwin is free and has an x server.
Gopenmol should also be able to plot orbitals.
The program that I like for Gaussian outputs is Gausview, however it is =
not free.
You can check the web sites for these packages for the details. There =
might be many other programs as well, these are the ones I know.
Regards,

Kadir

In our work, we mainly use Molden.  It is free.  It is available on many
platforms (including Windows).  Additionally, not only can it display
orbitals, but Molden can also export orbitals into POV-Ray, VRML, or
it's own OpenGL viewer.  To use it on Windows, you will need an
X-Windows Server for Windows.  

http://www.cmbi.kun.nl/~schaft/molden/molden.html

I have also heard that Chem3D can display orbitals from a Gaussian
formatted checkpoint file, though I have never done so myself.

But WE have a choice as to whether we want to continue being part of a

Hello all!

Has anyone done casscf calculations with Gaussian 03 or 98? I want to =
compare my Molpro and Molcas results with Gaussian, however when I have =
large number of configurations, Gaussian does not print them (even the =
most important ones!), although it does print them if the number of =
configs is small. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if yes, =
is there a solution?=20
Thanks in advance!

Dear Joslyn,

ArgusLab 4.0 (currently in beta release) integrates well with Gaussain 98
and Gaussian 03.  You can easily view surfaces from cube files generated
with Gaussian.  ArgusLab is free for single-user academic faculty, staff,
and students.

You can download it at  http://www.arguslab.com

Hello all,



Does anyone know of viewing program that can display molecular orbitals from
Gaussian output? I am looking for something that runs on windows and
preferably is free.



Thanks,

Joslyn Kravitz

WebMO is a free web-based interface to several computational chemistry 
programs:  Gaussian, Mopac, Gamess, and Molpro.  The professional version, 
WebMO Pro, has a windows-based molecular orbital viewer, MOViewer, that 
allows you to view MO's that were calculated by any of the supported 
programs.  MOViewer also displays isosurfaces, electrostatic potentials, 
and electrophilic/nucleophilic frontier surfaces.

For general information, see the WebMO homepage at
      www.webmo.net
A working demo (no download or installation required, since WebMO is 
web-based) is available at
      www.webmo.net/demo
Color brochures are at
      http://www.webmo.net/download/WebMO_Brochure.pdf
