Dear CCL,

We need to estimate the cpu time needed to perform some large DFT
frequency calculations with Gaussian 94.  Does anyone know how to estimate
this, given the number of basis functions, number of normal modes, etc.?

Thank you,

You can use Molecule on a PC as well, provided that you use a Mac emulator
called "Executor" from ARDI. The latest version of Molecule, 1.3.2, runs
fine with it. Check out our WWW page for details:
       <http://www.ccc.uni-erlangen.de/info/Molecule/>
This page also gives a link to the Executor homepage.

I agree that this is not a shareware solution, but the licensing scheme for
Molecule is reasonable enough that your supervisor might want to get it (see
the WWW page) and ARDI also offers educational discounts.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,

        Nico van Eikema Hommes

Dear CCL members,
	I am trying to run an MP2/3-21G* frequency calculation on a
silica-alumina cluster (5 T-atoms) using G94 on a SGI workstation; the
checkpoint file is from an earlier MP2/3-21G* OPT run. After having some
problems related to the memory allocation, I increased the memory using
%mem=xxxxx, and now with the same checkpoint file, I get the following
error: (keyword used:  # MP2/3-21G* freq geom=check test)

----------
 One-electron integrals computed using PRISM.
 The smallest eigenvalue of the overlap matrix isnan
 Projected CNDO Guess.
 Unable to orthonormalize alpha OCCUPIED orbtials!
 Error termination via Lnk1e in
/usr/local64/apps/chem/gaussian/g94/l401.exe.

 File lengths (MBytes):  RWF=    7 Int=    0 D2E=    0 Chk=    6 Scr=    1
----------

	It must be mentioned that this error did not appear in the earlier
attempts (when the only error was due to insufficient diskspace). Could
you offer any suggestions?
	Another related question: With the same memory allocation, the
MP2/3-21G* OPT ran without any diskspace problem, but the FREQ calculation
doesn't. Any comments?
	Please e-mail to me directly with your suggestions, and I can post
a summary to the list later.

	Thanks.

Cheers,
Sriram

Hello Eduardo,

Regarding your interest in free software for inorganic chemistry, I'd like
to suggest the Chime plug-in for Internet browsers.  Although most use so
far has been for depiction of organic structures, the program works quite
well for displaying inorganic compounds as well.  Chime can be downloaded
at http://www.mdli.com/chemscape/chime 

In our 'cool examples' page, we list some applications of Chime to
inorganic chemistry( see, in particular, the examples at Masaryk and
Stanford Universities.)

Any questions can be addressed to 'chime-feedback@mdli.com'

Regards,
Mitch Miller

Indroduction to the ICMSB'97
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The first International Conference on Molecular Structural Biology (ICMSB=
)
took place in Vienna in September 1995, and was very well received by all=
 who
took part, including over 200 participants from more than 20 countries
wordwide.
The organisers are pleased to announce the Second ICMSB, which will take =
place
>from the 10th to 14th September 1997, and will feature internationally re=
nowned
speakers. The conference, which will focus on topics covering a number of=
 the
most exciting areas in the field, will be opened by one of the
pioneers of molecular structural bioloby, Dr.Max Perutz. The following fo=
ur
days of the conference will include sessions on Structure and Prediction,=

Macromolecular Interactions, Catalysis and Design, and Folding.

Vienna - A Unique Conference Location
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The conference will again be located at the Bundeswirtschaftskammer in Vi=
enna.
The city is a particularly attractive location for a conference, with its=

combination of historical buildings, green parks, and modern architecture=
=2E
Some of the most famous city sights include Sch=F6nbrunn Palace and the H=
ofburg,
former homes of the Habsburgs, St. Stephans Cathedral, and the colourful
Hundertwasser House. Also unique to Vienna is the Prater park, with its e=
ndless
green avenues and its funfair, featuring the "Riesenrad" (ferris wheel). =
Of
course, no trip to Vienna would be complete without a visit to one of the=
 many
traditional Viennese cafes, for a piece of the famous Sachertorte.

                           VIENNA, AUSTRIA


                           Organized by the
                       Austrian Chemical Society
                  Working Group Biophysical Chemistry


Indroduction to the ICMSB'97
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The first International Conference on Molecular Structural Biology (ICMSB=
)
took place in Vienna in September 1995, and was very well received by all=
 who
took part, including over 200 participants from more than 20 countries
wordwide.
The organisers are pleased to announce the Second ICMSB, which will take =
place
>from the 10th to 14th September 1997, and will feature internationally re=
nowned
speakers. The conference, which will focus on topics covering a number of=
 the
most exciting areas in the field, will be opened by one of the
pioneers of molecular structural bioloby, Dr.Max Perutz. The following fo=
ur
days of the conference will include sessions on Structure and Prediction,
Macromolecular Interactions, Catalysis and Design, and Folding.

Vienna - A Unique Conference Location
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The conference will again be located at the Bundeswirtschaftskammer in Vi=
enna.
The city is a particularly attractive location for a conference, with its
combination of historical buildings, green parks, and modern architecture.
Some of the most famous city sights include Sch=94nbrunn Palace and the H=
ofburg,
former homes of the Habsburgs, St. Stephans Cathedral, and the colourful
Hundertwasser House. Also unique to Vienna is the Prater park, with its e=
ndless
green avenues and its funfair, featuring the "Riesenrad" (ferris wheel). =
Of
course, no trip to Vienna would be complete without a visit to one of the=
 many
traditional Viennese cafes, for a piece of the famous Sachertorte.

Subject: Faraday Discussion

Faraday Discussion No: 110
CHEMICAL REACTION THEORY
University of St Andrews, Scotland
1-3 July 1998

CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

This will be the first Faraday Discussion devoted purely to the theory of
chemical reactions, one of the most rapidly developing areas of theoretical
chemistry. Predictions on the dynamics of the reactions of small molecules
can now be as reliable as experimental measurements and the accuracy of
calculations on more complicated problems ranging from reactions of organic
molecules to reactions on surfaces and in solution is improving at a very
fast pace.

The committee specially welcomes theoretical or computational papers in the
following areas:

*   ab initio calculation of accurate potential energy surfaces for
chemical reactions
*   scattering theory for the accurate treatment of the reactions of small
molecules
*   extension of theory to dynamics and kinetics of larger molecules
*   reactions of molecules on solid surfaces and in solution

The papers chosen for the Discussion will be concerned with theory or
calculations that can be tested by comparison with experiment.

St Andrews University on the east coast of  Scotland is over 500 years old
and is a beautiful place to hold the meeting (especially in July). The
accommodation facilities there are excellent. There are good connections to
St Andrews from the international airport at Glasgow and also from
Edinburgh.

Contributions are invited for consideration by the Organising Committee.
Titles and abstracts of about 300 words should be submitted no later than 1
JUNE 1997 to Professor D C Clary, Department of Chemistry, University
College London, London WC1H OAJ (email: d.c.clary@ucl.ac.uk).

Full papers for publication in the Faraday General Discussion 110 volume
will be required by February 1998.
