Dear Jun Deng,
you will find a discussion of orientation axes and molecular shape in 
the volume by Michl and Thulstrup:

Josef Michl & Erik W. Thulstrup: "Spectroscopy With Polarized Light. 
Solute Alignment by Photoselection, in Liquid Crystals, Polymers, and 
Membranes", VCH Publishers, Inc., 1986 (ISBN 0-89573-346-3), 1995 
(ISBN 1-56081-910-3).

Yours, Jens >--<

Sixth International Conference and Exhibition
SELF-FORMATION THEORY and APPLICATION
Vilnius, Lithuania
26 - 28 November 2003

SCOPE

Conference continues the series of Vilnius conferences on self-formation
with international participation held every second year since 1983 with the
last one held in 1992. It is expected to be the first conference on
self-formation with European dimension.

Self-formation concept covers an irreversible evolution of the artificial
object followed by object complexity increasing. Although self-formation
encompasses mathematical methods for the artificial object evolution
approximation it also offers attractive technological possibilities in the
microelectronics, photovoltaics and other semiconductor applications.

Self-formation, predominating in living world, however still has little use
in technological world for artificial objects formation processes without
human or automatics intervention.  Therefore Conference is designed to bring
together fundamental and application driving research to open novel
promising self-formation applications areas and generate critical mass of
research resources to foster scientific excellence in the field.

Present Conference foresees to cover following topics:
.	Self-formation of the artificial systems
.	Self-assembling of the artificial systems
.	Simulation of self-formation
.	Evolution with complexity increasing (self-organisation, synergetics,
information, self-formation, genetics, etc)
.	Self-formation physics
.	Self-formation technology (photovoltaics, fuel cells)
.	Other applications (microelectronics, nanotechnology, molecular
electronics, etc.)

Try our open-source java package "The Chemistry Development Kit (CDK)".
The software is available from http://cdk.sf.net

An article about the software library has just appeared in the ASAP 
section of the Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Sciences
(http://pubs.acs.org/cgi-bin/asap.cgi/jcisd8/asap/pdf/ci025584y.pdf)

Note that this is a chemoinformatics toolkit, not a ready-to-use file 
conversion application (although there is a demo file conversion app 
included in the tests section).

Feel free to contact the developers mailing list cdk-devel@lists.sf.net 
with questions.

Cheers,

Christoph Steinbeck

Hi Dr. Herrmann,

Thanks for your suggestion.  I implemented it, but I have encountered this error
and I'm not sure what it means...
 Does it mean that GAMESS thinks my starting geometry is way
off?  It shouldn't be, I got the coordinates from a geometrically minimized
starting point from another program/method...   Do you have any suggestions as
to how this might be corrected or what the problem is?  I've inputed my initial
coordinates using angstrom which I believe is the default.
