Hi Sandeep,

There has been debate before about the implimentation of dynamics in
MOE. If memory serves Amber is often the preferred choice for MD of 
polypeptides. However, the analysis tools in MOE are very useful. Allow 
the calculation to run with some heating and try to use an end cooling 
step. Make sure MOE writes structures to a moe.MDB file during the 
simulation, it will get quite big, but MOE will handle it. That way you 
can check dihedral angles, trans amide bonds, volume, and other 
descriptors as you go. MOE may still lack some rigour in some 
implimentations like dyanmics, but as tool that can serves as 
qualitative/quantitative test for ideas in my opinion, it rocks!

Dear Members:

I am trying to do MD calculations on a 28 residue peptide using MMFF94X 
forcefield as implemented in MOE to assess its conformational 
flexibility. I was wondering if somebody has experience of using MMFF94x 
forcefield for peptide simulations and how does it compare with other 
forcefields, say, AMBER or CHARMM? Another related question whether to 
do implicit solvation or explicit solvation simulations? I mean which is 
better and usually what should be the time scales for such simulations?

Any advices shall be greatly appreciated.

Yours sincerely,
Sandeep Kumar

Hello everyone. I'm trying to run some SCRF calculations with G03.D01 to generate charges for later

The first error typically results when using radii=pauling and the second error occurs when using 
the default radii (UA0). For the past week I've played with various parameters (PCM method, OFAC, 
TSARE, etc.) but end up getting one of these errors. I'm becoming tired of 'playing' with these 
numerous and varied parameters (it's all like black magic!) and am curious to know whether others 
have come across such errors and, if so, how they managed to work around them. Thank you in 
advance.
Best wishes,
Greg

Dear Caroline,

If you are interested in population analysis in the excited states, you must use a two-step jobs like the one below:

%nproc=1
%mem=100MB
%Chk=HCl_cis

# CIS(Nstates=4)/STO-3G Test
 
 Input created by Zoa v2.0 HCl_cis
 
0 1
Cl -0.000030 -0.645000 -0.000250
H 0.000030 0.645000 0.000250
 
--Link1--
%nproc=1
%mem=100MB
%Chk=HCl_cis
%NoSave

# CIS(Root=3,Read)/STO-3G Density=Current Pop=NPA Test
 
 Input created by Zoa v2.0 HCl_cis
 
0 1
Cl -0.000030 -0.645000 -0.000250
H 0.000030 0.645000 0.000250

In this way you will get the populations for third excited state.

If you need populations for the first excited state, you can use a single-step job. Just include Density=Current keyword.

As far as I know it is not possible to get the density for time-dependent calculations (TD keyword).

I hope it help, although my answer may be incomplete.

Best wishes,
Igor Avilov.

Dear All

I am calculating the electron affinity of carbon monoxide using =
B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ by evaluating E(CO, neutral) - E(CO, negative).
I am getting a negative value of -100.2 kJ/mol.
The literature experimental value is 127.9 kJ/mol (I guess positive).

Is this correct?
Can electron affinity be negative?

I will appreciate in case someone can help.

Your method and basis set seem more than adequate.  Electron affinity can
indeed be negative.  However, in this case we know that is not true.  I have
had much success calculating EA's using both DFT and MP2 - with a few
exceptions.  A key thing to check is whether or not the multiplicity is
input correctly.  For this case, I might see if MP2 or even HF describes
this system better.  In fact, for this small of a molecule - one ought to be
able to run a CCSD(T) calculation in a fairly short time.

Dear Dr. Ponnadurai Ramasami,

> I am calculating the electron affinity of carbon monoxide using =
> B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ by evaluating E(CO, neutral) - E(CO, negative).

Do you use the same geometry for the neutral and anion? Normally there 
is some geometry relaxation upon electron attachment. When you use 
optimal geometries of neutral and anion, then you can calculate 
adiabatic electron affinity (AEA), which is defined

AEA = E(N .. N) - E(A .. A),

where the E(N .. N) and E(A .. A) are energies of the neutral and anion 
calculated at their optimal geometries corrected with the zero point 
vibration energies (ZPVE). It is important to take into account usually 
non-zero (and sometimes significant) contributions from ZPVE.

> I am getting a negative value of -100.2 kJ/mol.
> The literature experimental value is 127.9 kJ/mol (I guess positive).

That is probably AEA, but I am not 100% sure.

> Is this correct?

I do not know, check the geometries.

> Can electron affinity be negative?

If the adiabatic electron affinity is negative, then it means that the 
E(A .. A) is higher than E(N .. N). That is of course possible.

Best regards,


Rafal Bachorz

I did a frequency calculation for carbon monoxide.

or
#P b3lyp/6-311++G(2df,2pd) opt=3Dtight freq=3Danharm maxdisk=3D2gb


However for this diatomic molecule, the anharmonic constant does not =
appear in the output, although it appears for a triatomic molecule.

Can anyone help?

Dear Didier,

It is relatively easy to write a program for this with the use of JChem API.

See example code at the end of this discussion on our forum: 
(atomrearranger.java)
http://www.chemaxon.com/forum/ftopic519.html

And you can create the atom ordering using substructure search:
http://www.chemaxon.com/jchem/doc/guide/search/index.html#searchmem

The sign should at least be correct; the CO anion is not stable. The 
following paper might be of interest:

A. Dreuw, L. S. Cederbaum, "Long-lived high-spin states of small anions: 
6PI state of CO-", Phys. Rev. A 59 (1999) 2702-2706.

Hi Ramasami,

You may be interested in the following book chapter:

"Calculation of Electron Affinities. A Roadmap"
T.H. Dunning, K.A. Peterson and T. van Mourik
in The Dissociative Recombination of Molecules with Electrons, Ed. S. L.
Guberman, (Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, New York, 2002).

Here we compared the accuracy of different methods (CISD, MPn, coupled cluster
methods) and basis sets for the electron affinities of CN and O2. The electron
affinities converge slowly with basis set, so large basis sets (with diffuse
functions) are important. CCSD(T) gives electron affinities that are (almost)
within chemical accuracy. Although DFT methods were not included in this
investigation, based on the inconsistent results obtained with CCSD and MP2
(MP2 underestimates in one case and overestimates in the other), I would not
expect B3LYP to give consistently reliable results for electron affinities. As
also recommended by Soren, for a system of this size it would be best to use
CCSD(T), or CCSDT if feasible, in combination with a basis set like
aug-cc-pVQZ/5Z.

Hope this helps,

Tanja

Beware that the EA calculated by DFT in most cases is _not_ a
well-defined quantity. For most systems the extra electron in anions is
not bound, _if_ a sufficiently flexible basis set is used. For
(augmented) DZ and TZ type basis sets, this shows up as positive HOMO
energies. If the HOMO is positive, the electron is not bound, and if you
add enough diffuse basis functions, the extra electron detaches from the
molecule. In other words, you can get essentially any result you want by
choosing the basis set.

There are a few exceptions, like CN- and perhaps also F-, where the EA
is sufficiently large that the extra electron is bound, but CO-
certainly does not belong to this class.

With this being said, there is a large body of computational evidence
showing that methods like B3LYP with a DZ or TZ type basis set augmented
with diffuse functions (like aug-cc-pVDZ or 6-311+G**) does a fairly
good job at reproducing the experimental EA results. The reason is that
the limited basis set constrains the extra electron to be in roughly the
right physical space, and the functional does a reasonable job at
estimating the energy of this confined electron density. This gives you
a reasonable estimate for the right physical reasons, but not for the
right theoretical reasons.

Check your HOMO energy for the anion. If it is positive, you are relying
on 'good' results due to error cancellations and a lucky choice of
functional and basis set, and sometimes your luck runs out.....

Frank

Your method and basis set seem more than adequate.  Electron affinity
can
indeed be negative.  However, in this case we know that is not true.  I
have
had much success calculating EA's using both DFT and MP2 - with a few
exceptions.  A key thing to check is whether or not the multiplicity is
input correctly.  For this case, I might see if MP2 or even HF describes
this system better.  In fact, for this small of a molecule - one ought

Dear All

I am calculating the electron affinity of carbon monoxide using =
B3LYP/aug-cc-pVTZ by evaluating E(CO, neutral) - E(CO, negative).
I am getting a negative value of -100.2 kJ/mol.
The literature experimental value is 127.9 kJ/mol (I guess positive).

Is this correct?
Can electron affinity be negative?

I will appreciate in case someone can help.

Ramasami

Hi,

I tried to use Gaussian03 to do geometrical optimization of a phosphate anion and then to calculate its charges. 
I used for the geometry calculation HF/6-31G(d) Opt NoSymm and HF/6-31G(d,p) Opt NoSymm and then for the charge HF/6-31G* pop=mk iop(6/33=2) and HF/6-31G** pop=mk iop(6/33=2) respectively.
I had an output for the geometry calculations, but not for the charges.
I would like to ask you what the multiplicity is for system given that electrons delocalised.
Also, what basis set shall I use?

Thank you,

Emi Psachoulia

What kind of command line you used? I mean method and basic set?

Dear All,
I am in the process of calculating the potential energy curves of the lowest lying excited state of neutral vanadium oxide, and I was wondering if there's any way to determine the electronic configuration of the excited states. I've been using the pop=npa keyword, but this only details the ground state of the complex. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Caroline Norris

Hi.  In the chemistry WebBook (http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/) 
the EA is listed as 1.3261 eV (or 127.95 kJ/mol) but there is an 
annotation by John Bartmess (Univ. Tennessee) that G3(MP2) 
calculations predict the anion to be unbound by > 1.5 eV (> 140 
kJ/mol).  Your calculation also predicts the anion to be 
unbound.  There is a paper by EPF Lee et al. [CPL 336(5-6) 479 
(2001)] concluding that the anion is unstable.  So your result 
appears qualitatively correct.  The actual value you get will depend 
strongly upon the basis set.  Try it!  Add (in Gaussian, keyword is 
"extrabasis") a diffuse s-function with exponent of 0.0001 to the 
basis set on one of the atoms.  The calculated EA should get close to 
zero; the diffuse function mimics a continuum function, allowing the 
added electron to avoid the molecule.

Electron affinity, as a thermodynamic quantity, must be non-negative 
(unless, arguably, a metastable anion is long-lived; see Lee's paper, 
or papers by L-S Wang about multiply charged anions).  But sometimes 
resonances in electron scattering are loosely described as states of 
negative electron affinity.

Regards,

Karl

CCLers,
In the past some people from this list have expressed an interest in SARvision, our chemoinformatics software. Some of you are already users. We have just had a new release, version 2.4. If you are interested, you can get a demo of the product by visiting our website www.chemapps.com and clicking on the Products tab. There is an active link to download the demo. The demo is fully functional for 2 weeks. There you can also find a link that outlines what is new in this version. 

SARvision is a desktop software application that identifies chemical motifs present in chemical datasets and organizes available biological and biochemical data, such as those that may result from high throughput screening, according to the scaffolds it identifies. The program facilitates R-table generation and facilitates data reporting as well.  The user can quickly navigate chemical information and create tables with the data available that can be exported into applications such as Microsoft Word and Excel.  Among the new features, we have comparison of the scaffold content of different libraries, added graphical capabilities to plot properties by scaffolds 

A Linux version (without GUI)for scaffold identification is also available if you let meknow you are interested. SARvision is used by chemoinformaticians, medicinal chemists, high throughput screeners and even patent agents.

Thanks!

Hugo
