Hi,

I have got some X-Ray data file. I want to put the models' picture of
the molecules into my Microsoft Word document on my PC. Is it possible?

If it is possible, which PC software(Windows 95 / NT) can display these
files by moncrystal model.

Thank you very much.

One possible solution:

There is a molecule file comversion program Mol2mol
(see www.compuchem.com/mol2mol.htm).
It accepts general and major xray file formats and
can transfrom it into many chemical file formats,
thus practically you can move it into any modelling
program working under Windows and then forward it to
Word.

best wishes 

Tamas

Subject:  AM1 under GAUSSIAN ???




Dear Netters,
we have recently carried out a series of calculations
using MOPAC/AM1.  When we asked academic partners to do some ab initio 
calculations on the same set of compounds we were surprised to find, that 
there
seems to be an inconcistency between GAUSSIAN/AM1 and MOPAC/AM1,
concerning the heat capacity Cp. Does anyone know, if this is:
 -> a well known phenomenon/problem/bug
 -> a consequence of a different implementation (deliberate) or
 -> one of the great mysteries of life?

For your orientation I have appended parts of the MOPAC and GAUSSIAN output
of calcs for the CO2 molecule.


Best  Regards

Lutz Ackermann

Transforming the Energy given by GAUSSIAN from Hartree to kcal/mol, one
gets -79.8653 kcal/mol, which is close to the Heat of Formation calculated
from MOPAC (at 298K), -79.829 kcal/mol. The entropy is also very similar 
between
the two programs, but the heat capacity differs a lot ( 7.411 CAL/MOL-KELVIN 
in
GAUSSIAN vs. 9.4247 CAL/K/MOL in MOPAC!!???

Hello,

Where could I find information on methods of calculating what happens 
to a molecule (of about 20 atoms) when a certain ammount of energy is pumped 
into it instantaniously, which states are excited, which fragments it will 
probably break into? 

Thanks

Subject: semi-empirical parameters for Mg


Dear Netters,
My friend would like to know something about semi-empirical 
parameters of Mg.
The PM3 understimates the bond lenght Mg-X (for example in Mg-Cl2
the PM3 computed distance Mg-Cl is 1.887, while the experimental one
is 2.186.  In some complexes the Mg-O PM3 distance is about 1.87 but
the experimental ones are about 2.10.
Are there AM1 parameters for Mg atom or refined from original
reference of PM3 ( J. Comp. Chem. 1991) which works better for
these kind of systems ?
Thanks in advance

Of course, this makes that sphere of waters, with all it's limitations (see my
contribution from last Saturday).

Is there anything similar for other shapes, e.g. dodecahedrons or truncated
octahedrons?

I have seen a problem like this once. I feel that the structure optimization
of GAUSSIAN is much better tham of MOPAC. In fact, the problem I have seen
is about structure optimizaton and, while most times MOPAC made just a
little change on the structure (but reaching a local minimum fast), GAUSSIAN
moved completely the structure, taking more time but reaching much better
structures.

Dear CCL,

I've looked at the CCL archives for info on this question, but the most
up-to-date advice is important.

I'm going to set up a PC/Linux system for doing quantum chemical
calculations (probably using Q-Chem and Red Hat Linux 5.0), and the
question is, What sort of hardware should I buy?  Rather than ask for
answers to this broad question, I'd like to suggest a system and solicit
criticisms of it. Here goes: 

I plan on getting a dual-cpu PentiumII 333Mhz motherboard (these have the
usual 512K L2 cache), 128Mb SDRAM, and two ultrawide SCSI drives (as large
and as fast as can be supported-- any recommendations here?).  Graphical
capability is less of a concern, because I won't be using graphical
interfaces to the QM software.  Tyan and Supermicro supply the
motherboards, and I'd probably go to Adaptec for the SCSI drives.

A system built around an Alpha chip is also a possibility, but I'm not
sure whether the Alpha is going to be developed any further, and I don't
know about compatibility issues between software, Linux, peripherals, and
the Alpha chip.  Also, I will probably have to install WindowsNT or '98 on
this system in order to use the usual word processing/spreadsheet stuff,
but I don't think this works with the Alpha architecture.

Any pitfalls I should be aware of, or special devices I should consider?
I'll certainly get the proper power supply and cooling fans for the
system.

Best wishes to all,

Dale

Dear CCLers,
Our University as recently started installing a new SGI Onyx2 server.  =
I'm am part of a committee who's immediate goal
to establish user polices for this large server (or mini super computer, =
I haven't decide what class it in).  If anyone on the list has experince =

meeting:

1)  What criteria should be used in issuing an account?
2)  What groups (user groups) can be made so that future CPU priorities  =
can established?
3)   What guidelines can be established for submitting computationally =
intensive jobs
4)  Other areas we haven't considered.


Our idea is to produce a one to two page document that can be given to =
new users outlining the polices.  Does anyone have such a document?  If =
so, attach a copy and email to me if you don't mind.  I'd like to get as =
many ideas on as many issues as possible.
