Subject: CCL:Summary:MM parameters for NO3-,CO3--,SO4--,PO4---,HPO4--


Hi all !

This is a summary of the replies to a question I posted earlier 
this week:

> Does anyone have MM parameters or references where parameters may be found
> (atomic charges, force constants, van der Waals) for NO3-, CO3--, SO4--,
> PO4--- or HPO4-- ? 
> All answers will be greatly appreciated.

Estimado Lars,
Here is what i found in "published force field parameters" in Rev.Comp.Chem.Vol6
(1995) :
amber  nitrate : Guilbaud, J.Phys.Chem., 97, 5685 (1993)
dreiding carbonate : Fan, Macromolecules, 27, 2383 (1994)
opls  sulfate : Cannon, J.Comput. Chem., 14, 995, (1993)
Unfortunately they are all from different force fields. Moreover, i dont
actually know these references so i cant tell if it is exactly what you need.
Please forward me the results of your query.
Amicalement,

Try looking at Appendix I (Published Force Field Parameters by Osawa and

There have been a couple of postings regarding this subject today,
yours an one from Sanjoy Bandyopadhyay asking for MM parameter for SO4--
and CH2/CH3. You'll probably have to compute charges fitting the
Electrostatic potential of your molecules according to a strategie like
RESP (gopher://www.ccl.net:73/11/software/SOURCES/FORTRAN/resp)
(see also the AMBER page at this regard
(http://www.amber.ucsf.edu/amber/amber.html). You may keep in mind also
that either GAUSSIAN.XX, GAMESS and MOPAC have options which allow to
compute the partial atomic charges according to this philosophy. 
The force constants and van der Waals parameters for CH2, CH3, PO4, CO3
may be taken from the Cornell et al. AMBER force field
(http://www.amber.ucsf.edu/amber/ff94.html)or from the MM3 force field
(http://europa.chem.uga.edu/cgi-bin/mm3para) (strike 8-9 blanks in the
form field to obtain a complete list). By the way we are trynk to keep
update a list of force field links on ur site and you may have a lok to
the molecular databases page on http://antas.agraria.uniss.it.
Hope it helps

for a force field for sufate, look at reference

I would be very interested if somebody can give you the reference to the
forcefield of nitrate, so please report this to the CClist or to me personally!

Best regards

Subject: G94: DFT + BQs = FAILURE



    Dear CCLers,

    In Gaussian 94 system (Revision B.3), DFT calculations with BQ's having no
basis set fail in link 502 (spurious integrated densities, consistency failure 
number 2 in CalDSu, etc.).

    Has anyone already come up against this problem/bug when performing BSSE 
calculations at DFT level? Do you know how to solve it?

    Your advice will be very helpful. Thanks in advance,


         Maricel

Dear Alexandre:
=09The reason MM3 gives warning about low vibrational
frequencies is your second explantion, i.e., its contribution
to the calculated entropy will be high and thus increase possible
inaccuracy of the entropy. Presently, the calculation of vibrational
entropy is based on the assumption that vibrational is harmonic.
However, as we know, the anharmonic contributions increase with
decreasing vibrational frequencies. Thus, the possible errors increase
with decreasing vibrational frequencies.
=09Generaly, low vibrational freqencies come from the normal modes
corresponding the torsional (rotational) motions. For some molecules,
for example CH3CCCH3, methyl groups rotate almost without barrier.
Therefore, the corresponding freqencies are extremly low. For some
ring compounds (five members ring, for example), the barrier between
different ring conformations are usually low even though the torsional
motions for ring atoms are constraind. The change between those ring
conformations are made via a mechanism "pseudorotation", its barriers
are as low as a rotational mode.
