A quick POST- ACS Anaheim REMINDER......................................

Applications for CCG Excellence Awards are due April 9th, 2004
for the Philadelphia National ACS  Meeting in the Fall of 2004.  The
abstract deadlines for OAsys submission to
the COMP Division is April 16th, so we plan to announce winners by this
date.

Application for these awards is a two-step process. First, an
application for the Award must be submitted to the Treasurer of the COMP

 division for consideration by a panel of experts. The application
consists of an extended
(2-page) abstract of the poster or presentation along with a letter of
support from the research advisor, a two page CV, and a personal
statement. Electronic submission via E-mail attachment is preferred.
Secondly, an abstract of a poster or oral presentation in the
 COMP program must be submitted through the ACS OASYS system for online
submissions prior to the deadline for the meeting at which the awards
will be presented (Philadelphia, in this case).

Awardees are chosen on the basis of the quality and significance of the
research to be presented, as well as the strength of the supporting
letter and other materials. All graduate students are encouraged to
submit applications for the Awards. Students from the same research
group are encouraged to apply. Students from research groups that have
won awards at previous ACS meetings are also encouraged to submit
applications. Awards will be given only to those individuals making
presentations, and not to co-authors.

For questions, contact:

Prof. Curt M. Breneman; Treasurer, ACS COMP Division; RPI Department of
Chemistry; 110 8th St.; Troy, NY 12180

here is my summary for the following question:

Thanks to Pablo Victora Garcia, Chaitanya S. Wannere, Kadir Diri, and Serguei 
Patchkovskii. The main suggestion was that I might be short of disk space 
which was not the case. The problem was that I first did a geometry 
optimization and then I connected the NMR calculation with a Link1 command. 
No problem with singlets, but this doesn't work for radicals. Here Gaussian 
seems to look for something in the checkpoint file or somewhere else which is 
not there and comes up with the error message 
> Operation on file out of range.
When the first calculation is directly the GIAO then radicals run without 
problems.

Serguei Patchkovskii noted that NMR calculations require a different approach 
for closed shell and open shell molecules. The outcome of the GIAO 
calculation for radicals may therefore not be reliable.

Thank you all again

Rudolf.

=============SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT==============

Dear Computational Chemists and friends,

This message is to remind everyone that the FIFTH annual Emerging
Technologies in Computational Chemistry Symposium will take place at the

Philadelphia ACS National Meeting this Fall.  This COMP Division
symposium is sponsored by Schrodinger, Inc who generously provides a
$1,000 prizefor the best presentation of the afternoon as determined by
a panel of
experts.
Here's a copy of the announcement that's on the COMP Division website
(http://membership.acs.org/C/COMP):

=================

The Computers in Chemistry Division (COMP) of the ACS expects to hold
the fourth annual Symposium on Emerging Technologies in
Computational Chemistry at the American Chemical Society National
Meeting, Philadelphia, USA, August 22-26, 2004. The objective of the
symposium is to stimulate, reward, and publicize methodological advances
in computational chemistry.

The talks will be evaluated by a Panel of Experts based on the impact
the research will have on the future of computational chemistry and
allied sciences. The symposium will be ideal for presenting your latest
and best research on new techniques and software development.

Schrodinger, Inc., will again sponsor a $1000 prize for the best talk at
the symposium.

All are invited to participate. To participate, it is necessary to
submit a regular short ACS abstract via http://oasys.acs.org/ by April
16th, 2004. It is also necessary to email a long (~1000-word) abstract
to the organizer (Curt M. Breneman, RPI Chemistry) by the same date
(April 16,
2004). The talks must be original and not be repeats of talks at other
ACS symposia. The long abstracts will be evaluated, and those
individuals selected for an oral
presentation at the symposium will be notified by the end of April.
Applications for the Emerging Technologies Symposium that cannot be
accepted will be rescheduled in one of the other COMP sessions at the
meeting.

Inquiries and application materials should sent electronically to:

Prof. Curt M. Breneman
Department of Chemistry
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
Troy, NY 12180

See you in Philadelphia!

Dear All,

Is there any code that is capable of predicting (using a training set or 
not) the lattice energies for ionic substances?
The 1:1 compounds I have in mind are based on organic 15-20 atom cations 
and anions that are smaller, but also compounds with smaller cations are 
of interest.
I know that the relative lattice energies may be estimated by simple 1:1 
calculations of  ion pairs in gas phase, but is there another way to do 
this?

sincerely

/Patrik

Hi again,

I never calculated NMR shifts with Gaussian, but in the tests that come
with the source I can see restricted and unrestricted calculations (at HF,
DFT, MP2, ONIOM,...) of singlet and radical species, which I run when
I compiled it and finished succesfully.. So I know G03 can calculate NMR
properties of open-shell species, and I must assume that they are
meaningful.

I suggested a disk space problem because from those tests I can see that
the space needed for an unrestricted calculation ( .rwf file) is much
bigger than for a restricted one.

Rudolf, if you send me a sample of your input file, I would be glad to run
it and see what is the prblem.

Pablo

Hello Daniel

I had the same idea with Gaussian 03...and I've written a program to do
it. GaussSum from http://gausssum.sourceforge.net. I use it to create what
I call "Electron density difference maps", i.e. to subtract the G.S. electron
density from the E.S. electron density according to the results of a TD-DFT
calculation.

Instructions are included in the documentation, but if you find them confusing
I'll explain it better.

Daniel,

You can easily generate many types of surfaces in ArgusLab 4.0 using
cube-based data from both ArgusLab's QM methods and Gaussian 98 or Gausian
03 via the ArgusLab interface to Gaussian.

ArgusLab allows you to combine existing cube-based properties files in many
different ways: differences, mapped, mapped differences, etc.  Excited minus
ground state density differences are very easy to make.

ArgusLab is free for academics, commercial for industry and government.

Cheers,
Mark

Subject: CCL:Visualisation of Transition Densities


Hello Daniel

I had the same idea with Gaussian 03...and I've written a program to do
it. GaussSum from http://gausssum.sourceforge.net. I use it to create what
I call "Electron density difference maps", i.e. to subtract the G.S.
electron
density from the E.S. electron density according to the results of a TD-DFT
calculation.

Instructions are included in the documentation, but if you find them
confusing
I'll explain it better.

hi, folks:
   To my knowledge, the Ewald sum method can accurately deal with 
long-range interactions. But, I heard that this is only true for the low 
  dielectric constant situations. For the high dielectric constant 
system such as water, the Ewald sum is not accurate at all. On the 
contratry, the cutoff method is more accurate than the Ewald sum.

   Actually, I don't whether it is true or not. It is common sense that 
the Ewald sum is one of most accurate methods to evaluate long-range 
interactions. Therefore, anybody can refer me a literature for 
discussing Ewald Sum or Cutoff methods. Now, I totally confused that 
which method is more accurate for long-range interactions, Ewald sum or 
cutoff?

   I will appreciate for your suggestions.

   Jie
