Subject: Free Workshop on High Accuracy Quantum Chemistry Applications




Schrodinger, Inc. is holding a free workshop in the Boston Area 
on May 15th, 1998.  

In this workshop you will learn about the most advanced quantum
chemistry tools:
        * structure optimizations
        * molecular properties
        * solvation simulations
        * levels of theory 

You will also learn to apply the quantum chemistry tools in
computational experiments:
        * conformational analyses
        * pKa predictions
        * reaction kinetics and thermodynamics

The course will be taught by Schrodinger scientists Dr. Jasna Klicic
and Dr. Sharmila Pai. 
 
You will also get a chance to work with the high-performance Jaguar
package in a hands-on lab session.

Workshop to be held at Silicon Graphics, 1 Cabot Road, Hudson, MA

Morning Lecture Session          9 am to 12 pm
Lunch (provided)                12 pm to  1 pm
Afternoon Lab Session            1 pm to  5 pm

Subject: adding alkali metal PM3 parameters to GAMESS
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"




  I need to add PM3 parameters for Li (and for Na, etc., if any exist) to
Linux GAMESS. 

  First of all, are there PM3 parameters for Na -- anywhere?  Or are there
only "sparkles"?

 Second, has anyone here on CCL actually added semiempirical parameters
to their copy of GAMESS?  (The GAMESS-users list has been quiet on the
subject.)  Would anyone be willing to
describe the procedure they used, step by step, from locating
parameters through getting them into GAMESS to running
GAMESS on these new atoms?

  For example, I assume that there is no way to add
parameters in an input file, as I would read in a general
ab initio basis set.  If I must modify the mpcdat.src file,
do the variables there correspond in an obvious way to a
parameter list I could get from the literature, or must some
of them be converted or calculated especially for GAMESS?

  Is GAMESS format in mpcdat.src identical to MOPAC parameter
file format?

  Am I likely to have trouble recompiling with an altered mpcdat.src?
What else do I need to modify to make sure GAMESS will recognise 
the existence of new parameters for the atoms in the input file?

  Thanks; summary will be posted.

Subject: CALC THREE AB IN MATRICES?



Sat April 18
Subject: T, V(He) and V(H) matrices of HeH+

Hello,

I am posting this in the hope that someone has a convenient program that
this could be quickly run through.

For illustrative purposes I need the T, V(He) and V(H) matrices for HeH+
using an STO-1G (the simplest possibe!) basis, for r(He-H) = 1.5117 bohr

The gaussians are

      phi(A) = (2alpha/pi)^3/4 exp(-alpha|r-R_A|^2

       For phi(He) alpha = 0.7739 and for phi(H) alpha = 0.4166

      As a check T + V(He) + V(H) should sum to about

                        ( phi(He|^|He)  phi(He|^|H))     ( -2.30   -1.32 )
              H(core) = (                          )  =  (               )
                        ( phi(He|^|H)   phi(H|^|H) )     ( -1.32   -1.65 )

  If someone has the means of quickly getting these three matrices I
would appreciate it.
  Thanks
    E. Lewars
