Hi Everybody,
we are using smiles extensively in our chemical databases (daylight, ORACLE)
as a key for fullstructure search.
There are also a few other Chemical Editors which can create SMILES:
Daylight has one,
there is a free one from Peter Ertl:
http://www.daylight.com/bernd-cgi/Novartis/download.cgi
ChemDraw
others.

Cheers,
Alberto

I'm curious: does anybody use (unique) SMILES for nomenclature
_and_ as a search key?

http://www.daylight.com/dayhtml/smiles/smiles-relatives.html

http://www.daylight.com/dayhtml/doc/theory/theory.toc.html

I'm interested in any pointers to sources devoted to parsing, creation 
and other manipulation of SMILES strings. So far, I'm only aware of 
Babel http://www.chem.ohiou.edu/~dolata/babel.html

TIA,

Eugene Leitl

    Do you want to simulate a charged defect in a crystal? If you want to
use a periodic crystal method you must introduce within the repetitive
cell a second defect that neutralizes the first one. A well known
alternative is to simulate the defect as a finite cluster embedded in
the potential provided by the lattice. There are different embedding
techniques described in the literature. If you want to use ab initio
calculations, look for references by: R. Pandey, Z. Barandiaran, N.W. Winter,
L. Pueyo, C. Pisani, L. Seijo, J.M. Vail, M.J. Gillan, etc. A short set of
references follow.

                        Best regards,

Dear Lars,

There are, indeed, several strategies to avoid such errors. 

1) Write a correct z-matrix is the best solution. I guess you have to include
an additional dummy atom.
2) Use another coordinate set, e.g. internal redundant coordinates (highly
recommended) or cartesians.

Regards,
Christoph

Dear All,

I want to make an optimization using AM1-CI to optimize the
first excited state. I heard that MOPAC can do this. Does anybody 
in this list already make calculation of this kind?

Is it possible to send me one input to make it using MOPAC?

Thanks,
