Dear all,

I'm very interested in calculating solution properties of molecules 
by means of SCRF in Gaussian 98. However, there are various 
models and I'm not sure of there merits. I've looked through the 
literature but have been unable to find a review article comparing 
the different methods. Does somebody know where to find such an 
article??

Hello all,

I have been conducting some geometry minimizations on some
1,2-diazacyclobutane structures using Gaussian98 with the GaussView GUI.
When I minimize the parent compound (1,2-diazacyclobutane with N-H bonds) at
the RHF631G* level, everything looks fine.  If, however, I minimize at the
RB3LYP6311+G** level, a similar structure to the HF minimization results,
but GaussView does NOT SHOW a bond between the two nitrogen atoms.  The bond
has apparently not broken since the molecule adopts a geometry as if its
still there (i.e., in the HF minimization the N-N, C-N and C-C bond lengths
are 1.45405, 1.47272 and 1.53174, respectively, while in the B3LYP they are
1.49052, 1.49351 and 1.53844, respectively).  Furthermore, if I start with
the HF structure and further minimize at the B3LYP level, the bond again
disappears!  If I start with the B3LYP structure and ADD a N-N bond and then
re-minimize, it again eliminates the bond.

Is there any significance to the presence or absence of the bond?  Why would
GaussView not put a bond into the structure?

Thanks and best regards!

Guassview merely add lines between two points in space. The question of
whether a bond is really there is not one to be addressed with the viewing
program. Perhaps bader bond-critical-point analysis may help answer the
bonding question. Does MP2 affect things? Keep an open mind, don't be fooled
by the pretty pictures alone.

Dear all,

Some dimness arised about the final docking results. After AutoDock
(AD) run, log file contains histogram:

1. Does it mean that the lowest energy (the 1st cluster) is the
global minimum of protein for that ligand ???

2. How interpret the clusters (with higher energy, i.e. less favorable
conformations) with larger number of individuals after many runs of GA
?????

Maybe, the best determinated site for the ligand in protein is the
derivation of lowest docked energy (LDE) and number of individuals in
cluster ???? I have 5000000 evaluations, 35000 generations and made
300 runs (grid spacing 0.6Å), but the 'best site' - i.e. with lowest
LDE - contains only 2 structures...... I thought increasing the number
of mentioned parameters, all structures should tend to accumulate at
the the clusters with lowest energy ..... ???

Could anyone share some thoughts ?

Dear members:
Here the summary for the question on complex exp(x2)dx. Thanks to all =
people

The original question:
Dear Members:
Can anybody point me to routines (or simply numerical algorithms) for =
solution of complex integrals of the form:

int (exp(x2)dx) , with limits between 0 and z, being z a complex number =
of the form a+bi.=20
The text in the paper says that this integral can be related to complex =
error function, however I was not capable to establish the relationship.

Thanks in advance

> From Robert Waterland:
Armando:

Equation 7.1.3 in  Handbook of Mathematical Functions by Abramowitz and
Stegun is

w(z) =3D exp(-z^2) (1+ 2i/sqrt(pi)*INT) =3D exp(-z^2)erfc(-iz)

where INT is the integral you are looking for,  i.e. int(exp(x^2)dx)
between 0 and z.

So the integral you want is related to the Complementary Error function
with complex argument.

Abramowitz and Stegun have a number of series forms for the Error =
function
which (I believe) can be used for complex arguments.  See section 7.5
examples 12 to 19 for use of tables and series for complex arguments.
There is also a table (Table 7.9) of w(z) for complex arguments =
(z=3Dx+iy)
where 0<=3Dx<=3D1 and 0<=3Dy<=3D3) so you can test the series formulae =
to see if
they work.

Please look in the "bible" - numerical recipes - you can download pages
in ps/pdf format from

http://www.nr.com/

For complex integration you might need also the
residue theorem - see a textbook for complex analysis.

Hope this helps somewhat,

Gerd

The complex error function of Faddeyeva and Terent'ev is defined as
w(z)=3Dexp(-z^2)(1+(2i/sqrt(pi))*int_0^z (exp(t^2)dt)). It is also =
expressed
as exp(-z^2)*erfc(-iz), where erfc is the complementary error function
(erfc z =3D 1 - erf z). There is a chapter about the error function in
the Handbook of Mathematical Tables by Abramowitz and Stegun. This =
chapter
was written by Walter Gautschi, who also wrote an efficient algorithm to
compute it to ten decimals (see SIAM J. Numer. Analysis 7, 187-198 =
(1970)).
An even more efficient algorithm has been published by Poppe and Wijers
(Fortran version in http://www.netlib.org/toms/680)

The real part of the complex error function is related to the Voigt
function (see, for instance, T. Sundius: J.Raman Spectrosc. 1, 471-488 =
(1973)).

Structure, Spectra, and Dynamics" Chem. Rev. 1999, 99, 2160.

helpful in this regard.

   And, for those interested in solvation models NOT in G98 (and also 
one that in theory IS to be implemented in Gxx at some future point),
comp.chem.umn.edu/solvation may prove of interest.

GaussView makes the call as to whether a bond exists based on 
the distance between the atoms in the archive entry or failing that 
the last geometry in the log file. Thus if the distance is slightly 
longer than gv expects for such a bond it is not shown.  If you wish 
to present images of the converged structure with the bond present 
you can do this be selecting bond length on the builder panel, 
selecting the two atoms, and then clicking on the bond type button 
in the panel that opens.  I hope this helps

Looks like the GEOMETRICAL check used by Gaussview for existence or not of a
N-N bond has a threshold between 1.45 and 1.49...

Quantum mechanically, however, add or remove whatever bond you like : as
long as you have the same nuclei in the same geometrical position with the
same number of electrons, it will change nothing : the concept of bond is
useless for the quantum mechanical molecule.

The question "is there a bond between these two atoms" is thus not a
straightforward one, and certainly geometry is a piece of information but
rather incomplete. The analysis of the topology of the electronic density
(AIM or Bader's theory) may also provide clues, but it is not the unique way
either...

We could even say that Molecular Mechanics, on the contrary, is a theory
completely submitted to the concept of "bonding", because "bonding" is
central to the definition of the energy (every energy term is defined with
respect to "bound atoms"), hence the limitations with reactivity : you just
can't break the bonds !

I would not consider Gaussview's display or non-display of a bond as having
ANY significance.  I think there is a distance cutoff below which the two
atoms are considered to be "bonded", probably based on covalent radii or
something like that.

Subject: CCL:Bonds vs No Bonds in Minimized Structures


Hello all,

I have been conducting some geometry minimizations on some
1,2-diazacyclobutane structures using Gaussian98 with the GaussView GUI.
When I minimize the parent compound (1,2-diazacyclobutane with N-H bonds) at
the RHF631G* level, everything looks fine.  If, however, I minimize at the
RB3LYP6311+G** level, a similar structure to the HF minimization results,
but GaussView does NOT SHOW a bond between the two nitrogen atoms.  The bond
has apparently not broken since the molecule adopts a geometry as if its
still there (i.e., in the HF minimization the N-N, C-N and C-C bond lengths
are 1.45405, 1.47272 and 1.53174, respectively, while in the B3LYP they are
1.49052, 1.49351 and 1.53844, respectively).  Furthermore, if I start with
the HF structure and further minimize at the B3LYP level, the bond again
disappears!  If I start with the B3LYP structure and ADD a N-N bond and then
re-minimize, it again eliminates the bond.

Is there any significance to the presence or absence of the bond?  Why would
GaussView not put a bond into the structure?

Thanks and best regards!

There's a webserver that gives you even a minimized conformation if you
just draw the structure

http://davapc1.bioch.dundee.ac.uk/programs/prodrg/prodrg.html

Just paste in something like

H-N-C=O
  |
  H

And you get the correct molecule including missing hydrogens.


Groeten, David.

I partially agree with you. We have just published a paper which shows
how the bond path, a line of maximum density linking two nuclei mirrored by
a line of maximal stabilization in space (maximlly negative potential
energy density), provides a unique answer to the question of whether
bonding exists or not.

We use an example from experiment where distance alone gives an
ambiguous picture while the bond path provides a clear cut answer
accompagnied by a host of other consequences. For instance, we find
significantly higher electron delocalization between two bonded
atoms (sharing a bond path) than between similar atoms separated by the
same distance but whithout sharing a bond path:

Hi,

for an extensive overview about reaction field solvation models, take a
look at:

C. J. Cramer, D. G. Truhlar, Chem. Rev. 99 (1999) 2161

and reviews/references cited therein. Hopefully this helps!

Hello,

I am wondering if anybody knows the AMBER parameters and atom charges for
the following DNA residue of 5'-terminal phosphate GUA:

        O1P    H5' H4'  O4'    dG
         |      |    \ /   \  /
H5T-O5T--P-O5'-C5'---C4'    C1'
         |      |     \     / \
        O2P    H5''   C3'--C2' H1'
                     / \    / \
                    O3' H3'H2' H2''
                    |

In addition, which atom type should O5T belongs to, OH or O2?

Thanks in advance.

Linjing

Dear Prof. Breton,

Dr. Robinson is right. Most viewing programs
do not analyze the electronic structure to determine
if there is a bond between two atoms. Instead they
may compare the distance to the sum of covalent
radii or look if the input file specifies the existence
of a bond between the atoms in question (molecular
mechanics).

I assume that GaussView uses the distance criterion.
Since the covalent radius of N is 0.74A, the NN
distances in your molecule are near the critical distance
for drawing a bond or not.

You may analyze the electronic structure of your
molecules with Bader's AIM method or Weinholds
NBO analysis. AIM analyzes the topography of
the electron density and defines a bond as a line
connecting two atoms that is a maximum of the electron
density in the planes orthogonal to each of its points.

The NBO analysis is a series of basis set transformations
that results in the best "Lewis structure". Each NBO
corresponds to a line (or lone pair) in a Lewis structure.
NBO finds the best resonance structure. It does not
necessarily find NBOs that preserve the molecular
symmetry (e.g. benzene).

Stefan

Dear CCLers
 I have a question about calculating frequency  in Dmol3. Now ,when I calculate frequency of a model which is large ,it always calculate all frequency.  It take much time. But I am only interested in a frequency between two atoms, how should I do . Thanks in advance.

Dear all,

first of all I have to excuse that I did not follow the whole discussion.
I only would like to add (if not already done) the ELF (electron
localization function) concept to the methods to analyse chemical bonds.
