Hi CCLers

I know there are scales factors for frequencies and ZPE/Thermal.
But is there scale factor for dipole moment in the gaussian simulations?

Hi all,

     I am trying to locate an transition structure. I have a single point run
with the probable geometry of ts and it includes the expected imaginary
frequency as the lowest eigen value. However the full optimization of the ts
have failed to locate this frequency.
     With the check point file on hand how can i locate this transition
structure? 
     I would like to learn also about the EF option of the opt keyword.
I have run a `opt=ts,ef...` calculation but it has failed with the following
error after readin the guess from the check file.

Hi all

I'm trying to glean the structures out of some SDF files that I have. I 
have 3 databases that have structures in them, and I'm trying to get the 
structures out of them.  I've downloaded the SDF toolkit and the program 
CACTUS, but neither of those are helping me.  I can get both programs to 
read the first structure, but I can't get any further than that.

Any suggestions on how to do this, including any other programs that 
could be of help (free would be the best) would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Richard

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to calculate the reaction path from a transition structure of
a merocyanine molecule (37 atoms).
Transition point was verified by a Freq calculation, imaginary frequency
is 43 cm-1. 
The problem is that IRC calculation stops after very few points reporting
"Minimum found on this side of the potential". 
However, usual geometry optimization (OPT) starting at this point finds
the actual minimum far away.

My question is what is the criterion for a minimum in Gaussian IRC
calculation?

Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Petr Toman

Dear CCLers,

Recently, I've asked a question about calculation pKa values using ab initio
methods (see below). For the moment I've received 3 replies:

COSMO-RS is the only code I know that will deal with real solvents, beyond
the zeroth order dielectric continuum...
John McKelvey

I am very skeptical of the ability of any current ab initio method to
accurately calculate pKa's.  Consider acetic acid.  Its pKa is dominated by
solvent effects and is largely determined by deltas and not deltaH.
Wayne E. Steinmetz

we recently published a calculation scheme for pKa (pKb will follow soon,
prel. results can be obtained on request). We just calculated dG_diss based
on DFT/COSMO and added the statistical thermodynamics contribution from
COSMO-RS. We got a single very good linear correlation of dG_diss with pKa
for a very broad range of organic and inorganic acids. It is  probably the
most accurate "ab initio" prediction of pKa. Nevertheless there is a serious
problem with the slope of the regeression line which is discussed in detail
in the paper: 
A. Klamt, F. Eckert, M. Diedenhofen, and M.E. Beck, "First Principles
Calculations of Aqueous pKa Values for Organic and Inorganic Acids Using
COSMO-RS Reveal an Inconsistency in the Slope of the pKa Scale", J. Phys.
Chem. A., 107, 9380 - 9386 (2003)
Andreas Klamt

Orginal question:

Dear CCLers,
 
According to you, what is the best method to calculate absolute pKa values,
i.e. without first deriving some linear semi-empirical equation for a
training set, but to calculate pKa directly from the Delta G of the
dissociation reaction. I would like to calculate pKa values for some medium
sized molecules, NOT just in water, but in mixtures of water with alcohols
for which experimental data are very sparse.

I am aware that the calculated solvation energy for charged species can
contain relatively big errors, affecting Delta G and finally resulting in
errors of several units in the pKa value. 
According to some people, this problem can partially be overcome by applying
continuum models in which explicitly some solvent molecules are taken up. 
Is DFT accurate enough, which continuum model is best, etc...

Hello Richard,

you start with a SD File, right?
What do you want to do with the structures?
Are you searching for specific structures?

If you are using CACTVS, do this:

1. Start csts
2. Write the following code

set infile [molfile open your_sdfile.sdf r]
molfile loop $infile ehandle {
...
... do somehting with the structure ...
...
}

In the body of the loop you can define various methods like Hashcode
calculations, write the structures to other chemical exchange formats,
modify them and so on.

Bye
Frank

Hi all

I'm trying to glean the structures out of some SDF files that I have. I 
have 3 databases that have structures in them, and I'm trying to get the 
structures out of them.  I've downloaded the SDF toolkit and the program 
CACTUS, but neither of those are helping me.  I can get both programs to 
read the first structure, but I can't get any further than that.

Any suggestions on how to do this, including any other programs that 
could be of help (free would be the best) would be most welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Richard

Dear CCL#:
  
    I have met some discussion about the calculations of the weak interaction
systems with DFT(GGA) with the adsorption energy about 30 kJ/mol, such as
the physical adsorption. Both the supported and unsupported
opinions exist. Do anyone know the final conclusion? or recommend me some paper 
about this discussion. Thanks.


    Thank you for your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Richard,
You can try babel. you can seperate individual structures from a SDF 
database using this free program downloadable from the net.
