Subject: CCL: LORG chemical shift for CH4



 Dear Netters,

I would like to know if somebody can give me information about 13C, 29Si and 1H
chemical shifts of Ch4 and (CH3)4Si. I need LORG data with 6-31G* basis set.
 Thanks,

     Hi Savant,

I fear that this system is too large for your machine. My experience with
MP2 frequencies is that they use excessively large amounts of disk space.
"Stingy" reduces the requirements only to some extent.
I recently ran a MP2 freq. job with 135 basis functions, which required
almost 2 Gb of scratch space (with the "stingy" keyword). Since yours is
a 198 bf system, you'll probably need a multiple of that.

A suggestion: look at what the sophisticated DFT methods tell you (use
BLYP or Becke3LYP or Becke3P86). The results are often very similar to
MP2 results.

Best wishes,

            Nico van Eikema Hommes

The following input is read in correctly. The output generated by
gfprint is incorrect: higher momentum functions are printed as if
they were s functions. However, gfinput prints it correctly and
the number of basis functions is what it should be.

Is the calculation an analytic frequency job? If so, then you don't have
enough disk space by a long way. If it is a single-point or gradient
calculation then you should have no problems. Have you specified MP2(Direct)?
If you have, and it still doesn't work, you could try MP2(FullDirect), to
avoid any external storage of integrals. You could also try specifying a
bit more main memory, %mem=4000000 if it is available.

I hope this helps..

Subject: call for papers ACS Fall 96.


Folks,
        I have volunteered to organize a symposium at the Fall 1996 ACS
conference
in Florida around the topic of 

                VALIDATION in COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY. 

The main interest in doing this is to learn how validation at different levels 
(algorithm, code, application etc) is being performed and how it can and does 
affect what we do.

        Already several authorities in the discipline have agreed to give
talks. I would
like to invite those who are interested in presenting a talk on some aspect
of this topic
to contact me as soon as possible but not later than the end of July 1995.
This will give 
me some idea of the number of talks etc. Deadlines for abstracts and so on
can be worked 
out later.

        Thanks in anticipation of a your prompt attention and help in making
this a success.

                     GAMESS-UK: Version 5.1
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The following features are now available in the latest release of Gamess-UK.

1. The range of ECPs available are significantly extended,
   following the work of Cundari and Stevens. These include
   ECPs and associated bases sets for the Lanthanides 
   (T.R. Cundari and W.J. Stevens, J. Chem. Phys. 98 (1993) 5555)

2. A variety of features are introduced to augment present
   capabilities for treating excited states. These include
   both conventional and direct-RPA (random phase approximation)
   calculations of transition energies and oscillator strengths,
   and a MCLR (Multi-configurational Linear Response) module
   (C. Fuchs, V. Bonacic-Koutecky and J. Koutecky, J.Chem.Phys. 
    98 (1993) 3121)
  
3. The treatment of correlation energy is enhanced through the
   inclusion of coupled cluster CCSD and CCSD(T) capabilities,
   due to Rendell and co-workers (T.J. Lee, A.P. Rendell and 
   P.R. Taylor, J. Chem. Phys. 94 (1990) 5463)

4. A significant effort has been made to enhance the quality of
   user documentation and support. This includes:

   a. Man pages and hypertext pages
   b. email discussion lists featuring fellow GAMESS-UK users.


A variety of additional features listed below are nearing
completion, and can be made available dependent on the demand
>from GAMESS users.

a. A wide variety of popular basis sets continue to be added
   to the built-in libraries within GAMESS. Recent additions include
   the generally contracted basis sets due to Dunning and
   co-workers (cc-pvdz, pvtz, pvqz and pv5z etc)

b. A graphical front end designed to facilitate usage of the code
   is nearing completion. With extensive model building and, at
   present, limited post-analysis facilities, this feature will again 
   provide for enhanced "user friendliness".

c. An increase in the range of parallel platforms available to
   GAMESS-UK is already in hand.  Funding under the ESPRIT 
   umbrella will ensure the availability of the code across
   a range of parallel platforms e.g. ports to the Cray T3D  and
   multi processor Power Challenge from Silicon Graphics are nearing
   completion.

d. We intend to interface the code to the ASYM40 package (L. Hedberg 
   and I.M. Mills, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 160, 117-142, 1993)
   to provide for enhanced Force Constant and Normal Coordinate 
   analysis

	Allan Beveridge

PS We will be setting up a page on the World Wide Web for Gamess-UK in the
very near future.

Dear coleagues:

  Enclosed is the summary of the discussion session "Software Sharing
for Quantum Chemistry and Material Science" that was held as part of
the 35th Sanibel Symposium on March 2, 1995 from 3:00 to 4:15 pm.

  Forty-five people participated in a very lively discussion chaired by
George Purvis from CAChe Scientific.

At the meeting, we agreed to continue the discussion on an e-mail
list. This e-mail is the opening message of that continuing
discussion and an announcement of the availability of the list.

          To send a message to the entire list, send e-mail to:
                      softstand@qtp.ufl.edu

          To be added to the mailing list, or for any other 
          administrative question, send e-mail to:
                   softstand-request@qtp.ufl.edu

We hope the discussion will be useful and lively.

Thank you for your participation,

                  Erik Deumens and Sam Trickey,
                  for the organizers of the Sanibel Symposium.

    SOFTWARE SHARING FOR QUANTUM CHEMISTRY AND MATERIAL SCIENCE

                        Discussion Session

                     Thursday, March 2, 1995

                      35th Sanibel Symposium

                         ****************
                         * INTRODUCTION *
                         ****************

Participants in the discussion session were given a handout that
George Purvis III used to lead the discussion. This handout is
reproduced below with annotations reflecting the comments and remarks
made by the group. The purpose of the session was to poll the software
sharing needs of the computational chemistry community and our
preferences for meeting those needs.  The chair led a brief discussion
of selected problems, benefits, requirements and implementation
alternatives.  New contributions were introduced from the floor by the
participants.  The preferences of the group were identified by a
show-of-hands balloting on each topic.

Four topics were discussed:
1. Problems to be solved by software sharing,
2. Benefits derived from solving these problems,
3. Requirements to be met by the solution(s),
4. Preferred method for implementation of any solution(s).

Many of the concepts and problems involved were introduced by the
three speakers of Monday morning's session on "Structured Software for
Quantum Chemistry". The speakers were, Roland Lindh (University of
Lund), Dave Bernholdt (Pacific Northwest Lab) and Benny Johnson
(Q-Chem). 

                           ***********
                           * SUMMARY *
                           ***********

In respect to topic 1, participants identified two top priority
problems that software sharing should address.  First, it should
remedy current problems with file incompatibilities and communication
between software packages.  Secondly, participants felt that
development of computational chemistry software was too time consuming
and that software sharing should speed up development of new
computational chemistry software.

No vote was taken on topic 2 as everyone agreed on the benefits.

The discussion and votes on topic 3 established that the solution to
the previously discussed urgent problems should be constructed with
mostly the computational chemistry software develepers in mind and not
primarily the computational chemistry end user.  Furthermore, a
software repository of object-oriented objects or modules is
considered desirable and any standards formulated should be
public. Any solution should be generally useable by the whole
community that includes authors writing in FORTRAN and C as well as
those writing in C++.  There was discussion on whether source code
should be public doamin or copyrighted. The discussion did not
converge, and no vote was taken.

In regards to implementation (topic 4), the participants preferred the
request-for-comment (the RFC method used in establishing internet
protocols) method for developing and reaching consensus on the
specification for software sharing. E-mail and committee were 
favored alternatives.


                          ******************
                          * THE DISCUSSION *
                          ******************

[Annotations are the lines beginning with #.]

# A vote was taken on which problem was perceived as the most
# important. Each participant had four votes to pick the four most 
# important problems. When a topic as noted as "not discussed" the
# issue was time, not significance.

PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED:

Establish files for transfer of information between applications
#         25 votes
Establish message protocol for transferring information between programs
#         16 votes
Module environment or libraries for rapid development of new QC software
#         28 votes
Platform dependence --- PC's, Mac's, Unix
#          8 votes
#
#
# The issue of portability versus maximum performance was discussed,
# the consensus was that both are important and should play equally
# important roles, but in the end performance dominates.
# Two solutions exist: 1. same code on all platforms
#                      2. different implementation on each platform
#                         with same functionality
#        A separate vote on what platform should be supported gave:
#                PC's         3
#                Mac's        2
#                UNIX         all the rest
Duplicated work
#          6 votes
Lengthy program development
#          9 votes
#
# The discussion added the following problems:
# Performance                      
#          10 votes
# Leveraging commercial software   
#          15 votes
# Simplify education and dissimination              
#          18 votes

BENEFITS:

Elimination of duplicated work

Rapid incorporation of new algorithms

# Education was added as a benefit. It was suggested (v. Ortiz)
# that the process of standardization could start with programs for
# education. Though primarily capable of doing toy problems,
# one could build on the toy programs to get performance.

Is anyone aware of either a) inclusion compounds of one or more sulfur atoms
in buckeyballs, or b) adducts of one or more sulfur atoms with buckeyballs?

Thanks.

Dear all CCLers:
	
I am now trying to construct the Fock-Dirac density matrix as an exercise
>from the Hartree-Fock wavefunctions (say, Clementi-Roetti type) to compute
the exchange energy or so. But the results I obtained are good only for 
closed-shell two- and four-electron systems, and very bad for other 
systems. I am just wondering why they behave like this. Any comments?

Thank you for your attention!

CCL,

I am attempting to calculate the order parameter in a series of lipid monolayer 
simulations using cerius2.  The order parameter is based on the angle between
a carbon-carbon bond in the alkyl chains of the lipids
and a plane corresponding to the bilayer normal.  Does anyone know of an easy
way to calculate this angle within cerius2 or with a corresponding macro?  In
cerius2 an angle always has to be made between three explicit atoms; an angle
measurement can't be performed between two atoms and a plane.
