Subject: j param in AM1


Dear CCL'lers,

I am working with the AM1-Hamiltonian in Mopac 6.0 implemented in the
Tripos software SYBYL. While minimizing Iodophenole I recognized that the
atom J had a POSITIVE partial charge of 0,137. Is this correct or could
this be due to the fact that the atom J is only incompletely
parameterized within AM1? (From the page 3-6 in the MOPAC-manual I
concluded that this would not be the case). Could you please help me how
to prove the parameterization of J and tell me where to find the file
where atoms are parameterized.

Many thanks in advance.

Dear CCL's:
  We are looking for information about the system Co-Cu (Cobalt-Copper,  
 the diatomic molecule). Mainly, We need  optimized distance,
vibrational frequencies and magnetic moment, but any additional
information is welcome. Some recent experimental or
theoretical paper or book will do.
  We know the book by Gerhard Herzberg "Molecular spectra and molecular 
structure", but it is very old so we would like to get newer data.
  Thanks in advance.

Subject: BASIS SET OPTIMIZATION--HOW?



1998 June 15

Hello,
Could someone please outline (just outline) how the ab initio basis sets
of popular programs like Gaussian are optimized nowadays (best alphas and
contraction coefficients): are these varied for a set of small molecules till
the values which give the lowest energies are found? Or are they optimized for
*atoms* ?
  Thanks

   Prof. Masamura,

    As I described before nearly linear segments are described as a pair of
linear bends in place of a valence bend and dihedral which become ill defined
at the linear  geometry.  These start out as bends in a pair of orthogonal
reference planes, typically chosen so one is 180.0.  As the molecule optimizes
the structure may move away from linear and so the two angles are measured
to remain orthonal, i.e. the reference planes effectively change.

   Clearly this has moved to a nearly 20 degree bend and you should look to
the cartesian coordinates for these three atoms to get the exact valence
angle.  One quick way to do this is to read the structure back into G94 with

%kjob l202
%chk=mychk
#  HF ChkBas Geom=AllCheck

which will stop after evaluating the symmetry and structure printouts for the
final geometry.  If you have a graphical interface which can read this final
structure you can use it to measure this angle as well.

        Dear ??? (I couldn't see your name?)

>L(4,12,13)=175.0254
>L(4,12,13)=187.3401     <=== I think L(4,12,13) = D(4,12,13,X) ?

        These are linear bends.  I'm not exactly up to date on the details,
but I believe that when an angle is close to 180 degrees, you cannot use
the last dihedral, so instead you use two angles to position "4".  This
works, because the program internally keeps track of keeping them
orthogonal.

>D(14,13,4,3)=19.8277    <==== I can not understand: A(13,12,4)=180 ?

        You cannot have a dihedral including an angle close to 180, so when
you have an intervening linear bend, only the first and last atom are used.

        These situations are common with acetylenes and allenes, and also
with some metals.

        Best regards,

Hi ep7,

L-angles are used, when the angle of an atom-triple is close to 180
degrees. The pair of L-angles belongs to two perpendicular planes (which
intersect in a line 'parallel' to the atomic triple).

I can't say anything about your peculiar dihedral angle, but since this
output seems to be in redundant internal coordinates, there should be
enough other dihedral angles that are ok.

Masao,
    Use the newzmat utility:

newzmat -ixyz -ozmat filename.xyz filename.com

Then enter the charge and multiplicity (default 0, 1) when prompted.   The

    Good luck.
