Greetings,

It seems that G98 uses mpich to parallelize tasks. Is there any tutorial, 
document,... that I can use so as to add "parallelized" modules to Gaussian 
system ?

General question :

How does Gaussian dynamically add processes to the "master" process ?

Thanks all.

Dear listers,

Does anyone know some information for the interaction
between one DNA duplex and another DNA duplex? 

Any experience on the simulation or reference reminder
will be very appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.

It really depends on what exactly you mean with "pharmacophore."  The 
concept has been used differently by different people.

For example, some medicinal chemists equate Pharmacophore with a common 
scaffold among a given set of molecules.  For this, several algorithms such 
as maximum common sub-graph approach are available.

If you mean alignment of a given set of molecules, there are many alignment 
programs available (e.g., that will minimize the RMS for a given set of 
atoms, or maximize the overlap of steric and/or electrostatic fields).  Of 
course, more relevant ones involve overlap of common chemical features (as 
opposed to topological features) such as HBond donor/acceptor.

Pharmacophores from receptor active sites require more sophisticated 
programs and there are very few available.

Finally, looking at the wording of your question, you may be simply wanting 
a 3D-database searching program.

At any rate, I don't know if any of the above are available in Linux 
clusters today... would be interested to hear what you find out.

Dear Listers,
I always meet difficulties of selecting reference wavefunction for
correlation methods such as MP2 when dealing with some singlet molecules.
For some singlet molecules, RHF wavefunction is unstable. Thus, it is
possible to get a stable UHF wavefunction by using the Stable function of
Gaussian98 etc. However, I often found that the MP2 or PMP2 energy based on
this stablized UHF reference wavefunction is higher than that based on
unstablized RHF reference wavefunction. So what reference wavefunction I
should use to deal with such molecules? Had we optimize the MP2 wavefunction
too (I am doubting if any program can do this.)?

Any comments?

Li Zhenhua

HI,

I often encounter that problem too.

The RHF wave function is generaly unstable because the system
has a strong multiconfigurational character. It results quite
often in a small HOMO-LUMO gap and then gives rise to near-degeneracy
problem. That is the reason why the RMP2 energy is so low.

The UHF solution is stable but has a very strong spin contamination
(<S^2> is close to 1). Then the UMP2 energy is higher than the
"exact" MP2 energy for the singlet. Moreover, du to self-interaction
term the HOMO-LUMO gap is large and thus the correlation correction
is small.

The PHF isn't better since the orbitals are not optimized. Then the
PMP2 energy presents "break points" on the potential energy
hypersurface.

I even wonder if the projected orbitals still satisfied the Brillouin 
theorem. I will check this last point.

What I did to deal with that problem is running "minimal" CASPT2
calculations on a small model system and check which MP2 (RMP2 or UMP2)
is the closest to the CASPT2 results. If the spin contamination is 
about constant for any geometry of the PES, then UMP2 gives quite 
accurate results.

Otherwise, you could use the EHF method of I. Mayer. (I.J.Q.C 7 (1973)
583)
I still do not understand why such a beautiful method is not implemented
in QM packages like Gaussian or Gamess or Jaguar or .... 

I would be very glad to read any other comments you will receive on 
this subject.

Hope this helps.

Dear CCLers,

I am calculating the energy band gap of Bithiophene using DFT functionals
- BLYP, B3LYP, B3P86. According to Lathti, P. M., Obrzut, J., Karasz, F.
E., Macromolecules, 1987, 20, 2023, the energy band gap is 2.7eV. In my
result i got 2.68, 4.06, 4.10 eV, repectively. Why is it that BLYP gives
an answer near to experimental value while the hybrid functionals
overestimates the energy band gaps?

Your answer and any suggestions to this problem are highly
appreciated. Thank you.

A query regarding open shell CASSCF frequency calculations.  This uses
the

2001)
on an IBM RS/6000 (AIX 4.3.3, 4x 375 MHz Power3 procesors, 4 Gb RAM).

We have a problem whereby Molpro always stops without error message when

numerically calculating CASSCF frequencies - closed shell calculations
are fine
for the same molecule.

The above calculation, and other similar calculations were always found
to
stop, with the last few entries in the .out file going something along
the
lines of the following:

Incrementing variable OZ12 by   .010 BOHR  to     .0100 BOHR
Incrementing variable HX13 by   .010 BOHR  to   -5.7059 BOHR
Incrementing variable HY13 by   .010 BOHR  to   -1.3893 BOHR
Incrementing variable HZ13 by   .010 BOHR  to     .0100 BOHR
Incrementing variable HX14 by   .010 BOHR  to    4.7763 BOHR
Incrementing variable HY14 by   .010 BOHR  to   -3.0731 BOHR
Incrementing variable HZ14 by   .010 BOHR  to     .0100 BOHR

Total number of displacements:    71

Incrementing variable CX1 by   .010 BOHR  to   -2.1814 BOHR




at which point all calculations and molpro processes cease.  We have
calculated
UHf frequencies without problems.

Our questions are:

1)  Has anyone had a similar experience with doublet state CASSCF
frequency
calculations, and if so, how were these problems overcome?

2) Is the above some problem with Molpro itself, or an aspect of the IBM

RS/6000 - we have tested the frequency calculations on several
RS/6000's, all
with the same fault.  Could this also relate to a problem with the
Fortran
compilers (though we have tested installations with both versions 6 and
7 of XL
Fortran)?

3) Is there something wrong with the above input file?

Any info greatly appreciated!

Dear Susanne,

usually I do numerical frequencies in C1 symmetry as 
the molecule symmetry can be reduced when the variables are incremented. 

Good luck,
Stephan

Let me just simply say that product support for Gaussian is excellent!
Of course, one has to pay a maintenance fee to receive such support, 8^).

"Initiative" is a very small part of setting up and maintaining such
a mailing list. If you have been on this list long enough, you have 
learned from Jan, our benevolent list administrator, that the CCL 
requires people time and money to keep running. I very much prefer to
see the Gaussian people focus their time and effort on introducing 
new capabilities to the Gaussian product rather than funding and 
manning a support mailing list. I, too, get tired of seeing Gaussian
newbie questions, but the delete key works just as well for these 
questions as those for Autodock, Charmm, GAMES, .....

    Properties with Computer Aided Chemistry.
   (includes QSAR/QSPR and Reaction Modeling)

     Thursday, April 19, 2001, 10:00am - 11:30am
     Marriott Suites, 6155 N. River Road,
     Rosemont, IL 60018 (Chicago area)

ABSTRACT: The prediction of biological, chemical and physical properties 
such as reaction rates, UV-Visible & IR spectra, water solubility, vapor 
pressure, polymer properties, carcinogenicity, environmental fate, etc. 
will be illustrated with CAChe, an easy-to-use computer aided chemistry 
package for the experimental chemist that runs on a desktop PC. 
Pharmacophore design, prediction of reaction pathways, thermodynamics and 
kinetics will also be discussed as well as quantitative structure-property 
relationships (QSPR & QSAR).

Please contact Heidi at hklein@cachesoftware.com or
(503) 746-3603 to register, or if you would like to be
notified of future CAChe seminars in your area. These
free seminars are sponsored by Fujitsu.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed"



Dear CCL' ers,

I wonder whether anyone can point me to philosophical or mainly 
discursive accounts of the nature of density functional methods in 
computational chemistry.

I am also interested in accounts of the historical development of the field.

I have a number of conceptual issues which I am trying to resolve 
while in the process of writing an article.

I would be interested in review articles and/or books or even 
unpublished material by members of this list.  In addition anyone 
willing to discuss these issues with me is invited to contact me off 
list.

Finally, for those interested in this general area I would recommend 
the  very clear article on self-consistent field methods by Peter 
Gill in the Encyclopedia of Computational Chemistry edited by von 
Rague Schlyer.



thanks in advance,

eric scerri

To all CCL members:	
	This is a note inviting you to participate a the Photonics West 2002
Symposium's conference on Integrated Optics VI: Devices, Materials, and
Technologies this coming January, in San Jose, California.   While this may
not seem to deal directly with molecular modeling, there is interest in
presentations concerning modeling as it applies to light emitting device
development (as well as any research in application of this theory that you
may have).

This international symposium gives you the chance to show your research in
the field of light emitting devices, materials and integrated optics to
scientists and industry leaders from around the world.

If you have any interest or any questions that you would like to ask, please
let me know, or see our websites:
http://spie.org/Conferences/Calls/02/pw/

Call for Papers:
