Hi all 
a small doubt.
The wavefunction obtained as a slater determinant under UHF is essentially not 
a eigen function of the spin operator s^2. so, higher the value of the <s^2>, 
it signifies the mixing of higher exited states contributed by higher spin 
states and the wave functions has lesser physical significance. right ...!!!
so my question is how much of <s^2> is OK , since during my gaussuian 
calcualtions i some times observe a <s^2> as much as 2.0

thanx in advance
pls let me know if i am wrong any way ..:)

Dear Prakash, 

the problem of the UHF is that it still neglects correlations. That means 
that when virtual excitations are included you will most probably get a 
wavefunction with lower energy for a clear cut expectation value of <s^2>. 
UHF tends to increase <s^2> because it considers not "completely paired" 
electrons. However even more unpaired electrons when treated in a CI way can 
give lower multiplicities than the maximum possible. So you can obtain a 
singlet with two unpaired electrons  \frac{(|ab>-|ba>)}{\sqrt{2}}, and this 
cannot be found with a single-determinant method like RHF, ROHF or UHF. 
Therefore high spin contamination can be an indication, but is to be treated 
with caution. A typical example is a molecule with antiferromagnetic 
coupling. 


It is always better to check it with an adequate method before making a 
statement. Besides the more unpaired electrons the more possible that UHF 
will converge to a high multiplicity value. For triplets a value of <s^2> 
around 2 is a strong indication, but a value of 2.5 still does not mean much 
if not checked with a CI (or CI-derivative) method. 

Cheers
George

A value of 2.0 is perfect, if you're studying a triplet.
If not, then you have a serious problem.

Dear All,
I need some reference data as benchmarks for my results.
Does any one know of articles where I can get data like: Heat of formation,
enthalpy, entropy, free energy, HOMO-LUMO energies, Ionization potential,
Dipole moment etc. of phenanthroline and its metal complexes (Fe2+, Pt2+,
Ni2+ etc.), preferably computed with semi empirical methods (AM1, PM3 etc.).
Experimental or data from any other computational methods would also be
okay.
thank you in anticipation.

Dear All:

I am interested in experiences with InChi to SDF or InChi to SMILES programs.  I am using OpenBabel 2.3.0 which is doing OK.  I am just wondering if there are other utilities out there.

Hi Everyone:

The Lanl2dz basis for Copper at the EMSL basis set exchange (pnl.gov) in GAMESS-US format versus 
the Lanl2dz basis for Copper using G09 are different.  I am copying the coefficients & exponents 
here for convenience, separated by asterisks.  Can anyone tell me why the Lanl2dz basis is not 
consistent with respect to GAMESS & G09?  We are getting different equilibrium geometries and 
eneriges as a result.

Thank you!!

The CACTVS toolkit (www.xemistry.com) has full support for computing and
decoding InChI strings (with or without AuxInfo) and InChIKeys (both
old-style and new-style). For SDF, this includes capabilities to produce
nice 2D layouts (critical for stereochemistry) which in our opinion are
clearly superior to Babel output.

For commercial customers, there is also a turn-key converter application
which includes full InChI I/O  support, plus support for many formats which
are not supported by Babel.

Hi Daniel,

Both Gaussian and Gaussview will run on CentOS; I've got it working on an
Altix XE310 in my lab. A word of warning, though; if you get Gaussview, it
will only run on CentOS or Redhat. It doesn't run on Ubuntu, or any other
open-source Linux flavor (easily, at least).

Be well,

Jason

Hello Den,

Ninja is an open source toolkit for parsing InChIs:

http://depth-first.com/articles/2007/01/12/decoding-inchis-an-introduction-to-ninja/

It can be used as a command-line tool to report the structure of an InChI. Ninja can also be used as a library for writing InChI parsers.

Ninja was developed from scratch using the InChI technical documentation. As such, it's the only implementation of an InChI parser that I'm aware of that's fully independent of the IUPAC InChI code.

Best regards,
Rich

You are referring to the "auto-optimize" feature in Avogadro. This will continue to apply a particular force field method. In part, this provides interactive manipulation for a crude "dynamics" method (e.g., convert cyclohexane from chair to boat). It also allows you to modify the molecule while optimizing.

In general, if the energy appears stable, you are likely in a local minima and can submit to MOPAC or another program.

If you don't like the interactive optimization, Avogadro also offers a more traditional "Optimize Geometry" which will take a set number of steps (e.g., up to 500) and will stop early if the gradient or energy converges.

Hope that helps,
-Geoff

ooh! A challenge!  Were it not for the hefty price tag I'd give it a go.  An
ubuntu thread that may be helpful:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=634578

In any case, Linux is Linux, so I can't imagine it's completely incompatible
with other flavors.  It may be necessary to install additional packages with
the proper library versions.

As a side-note, SUSE 10 is listed as a supported platform if an additional
package is installed.

All the best,
Jason
