In principle you need to calculate free energy change upon proton
dissociation. This implies calculating free energy of an acid and its
conjugated base - you need to perform calculations for two different
molecules.
For the general protocol of calculating pka read eg.

Dear CCLers,

I am trying Periodic boundary conditions on polyaniline using the PBC keyword in Gaussian 03. I am interested in visualising the highest occupied crystal orbital (HOCO) and lowest unoccupied crystal orbital (LUCO) for polyaniline in GaussView. The HOCO and LUCO for polyaniline are not located at K=0. Using pop=full in Gaussian 03 gives orbital coefficients for gamma point only. Does anybody have any idea how to calculate the orbitals at a different K-point from the Gaussian 03 output.


Thank You

Srikanth Kambalapalli

    Hi,

I will appreciate very much if somebody lets me know what are the units 
of the following output fragment from Gaussian

\DipoleDeriv=-0.9812321,0.,0.,0.,-1.7018432,-0.2426153,

Are they directions, cosinuses?

Best regards,

Orlin,

The dipole derivative should be a matrix with nine elements.  If the dipole vector is (a,b,c) and the nuclear displacement vector (for a particular atom) is (x,y,z), then the dipole derivative is the matrix:

[ da/dx  da/dy  da/dz ]
[ db/dx  db/dy  db/dz ]
[ dc/dx  dc/dy  dc/dz ]    

Note: The d's are *partial* derivatives.  (I can't use the proper character.)

Hello,

recently I performed DFT/B3LYP calculations for the N2O decomposition on 
an oxygen bridged binuclear  iron complex in ZSM-5 having the structure 
Z[FeOFe] where Z represents a small cluster consisting of two 5T rings 
carved out from the zeolite lattice. Calculations on different spin 
potential energy surfaces revealed that the strucuture with multiplicity 
of Ms = 9 has the lowest energy.
Now, I would like to estimate how the consideration of antiferromagnetic 
coupling would affect my relative energies in the catalytic cycle. I 
think, first I have to estimate the coupling constant J  from  
performing a broken symmetry calculation with my system. Does  anyone  
has experience in setting up such a calculation with TURBOMOLE?
However, if I have succeeded in obtaining the coupling constant, how can 
I use it to estimate how it changes the relative energies of my 
catalytic cycle?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Many thanks,
Niels Hansen

Does anybody have any idea how to calculate the orbitals at a different K-point from the Gaussian 03 output.

Gaussian supplies the values of HOCO and LUCO, by default, where they 
have the smallest numerical difference so it's not necessarily given at 
the gamma point. You have to take a look at the band structure output to 
see how the bands look like and then think about what you want.

At the moment you can't visualize orbitals at different k points (this 
is a problem I presented to their development team a while back)  but I 
think you can see the coefficients if you request #p and pop=full along 
with iop(5/33=3) (beware! massive amounts of output)

You must use IOp(5/103=N) to request that the energies of the N highest 
  occupieds and N lowest virtuals at each k-point be printed.  If N<=5 
these are on one line per k-point, if N>5 then the occupied and virtual 
energies are printed on separate lines.

Hi All,

I'm doing a ONIOM calculation with addredundant keyword for PES(potential  
energy surface) scan. It stoped at step 14, point 9. Then I restarted the  
calculation with opt=restart. The restarted calculation looks good because  
it started at step 15, point 9, and the QM part and MM parts seem to be  
already finished. But it still gave out a strange error message "Operation  
on file out of range". I tried many times but got the same error message.  
Could anybody who knows the problem please diagnoses it and gives me some  
suggestions? Thanks a lot! In the following there's some more detailed

Hi,

Anybody can tell me how to transfer pbd file to zmatix using the funtion
using Guassion03. I try to do it with the function of NEWZMAT, but it always
meets errors as follows,

"Atom  36 needs variable   3=   1.1044460150 but is    1.0971932032
 Input z-matrix variables are not compatible with final structure.
