I have made a 111 surface of FCC metal with 3X3 atoms.
now i would like to  adsorb Si over it with different coverages.
how can i do that ..? (single Si prefres HCP site)
Can some one send me the coordinates for different coverages that you would have generated for ur studies.

thanx in advace

Hi all,

Do any of you know of any program (free?) that will convert fractional coordinates to cartesian coordinates?  If not in a program, is there a method that can be used to do it?  I spent most of yesterday searching for something, but I came up empty.

I have a few crystal structures in fractional coordinates (in papers, so I don't have them in electronic format) that I need converted to cartesian to compare them to some calculations that I have done.

TIA,
Richard

Hi Richard,

Can you find the fractional coordinates in the cif formate? If so, you 
can use Mercury to read the file and output the data as cartesian 
coordinates.

If not, the conversion is rather straightforward to do by hand. I can 
send you a short Word Document on how the conversion is done with 
knowledge of the unit cell vectors. Basically, the fractional 
coordinates show the fraction of each unit cell vector that contributes 
to the position of that atom.

   x_cart = *A*_x * frac_a  + *B*_x * frac_b + *C_x* * frac_c
   y_cart = *A*_y * frac_a  + *B*_y * frac_b + *C_y* * frac_c
   z_cart = *A*_z * frac_a  + *B*_z * frac_b + *C_z* * frac_c

where *A*, *B*, and *C* are the unit cell vectors and *A*_x is the 
x-coordinate of unit cell vector *A*.

best regards,
Saman

Open Babel supports a "free-form fractional" file format for exactly  
this purpose. You can convert them to whatever output format with  
babel. (I had exactly the same problem, which is why it's supported.)

Richard:
  This is very easy to do in BABEL.  You can find BABEL on in www, and
it is easy to set up in Windows or UNIX.
  Then just use a one line command:

  Babel -if sourcename -ox outputname

  Where -i means input, f means fractional
  and -o means output and x means xyz.


  In your second paragraph you mention a common problem with old crystal
papers.  It is a real pain to have to type in the xyz coordinates.  But
these can be found in sites like the Cambridge or the PDB at Rutgers.

Rajarshi,

This is a great development, and I'm sure it will be welcomed by many!
Congratulations!

A couple questions:

- Is there any specific reason for Apache license? Do you think it might
present difficulties for people who'd like to include this project in
their GPL code?
- smi2sdf program seems to include an empty "name" property in the sd
output, and mengine has an empty "title" property - it might confuse
some other programs.
- mengine seems to miss empty lines between the properties it adds, for
example:

> <MMFF94 energy>
103.559373
> <dipole moment>
2.838407
> <xLogP>
2.325000
> <Point Group>

I could be wrong, but it might also cause problems with some third party
tools...

Best regards and keep up the good work :)

Dear CCLers,

i am running a solvent calculation in Gaussian 03 with SCRF SCIPCM model
and THF as the solvent.


But the job gets killed saying:

"WARNING!  Serious error in surface integrals.
 Nuclear flux =     98.27 Qnuc =   100.00 Error in int =     0.00
 It is probable that some of the solute is outside the cavity and/or
 parts of the cavity surface cannot be reached from the origin.
 Try more integration points or a different set of integration origins.

 Surface Problems in SciFoc"

i have no clue..

how can i increase the integration points?

how much does the cavity include?

i will really be indebted for any advice.

Look at "multidimensional scaling" with google: it is the algorithm
converting a n*n distance matrix (well, the matrix is symmetric and
its diagonal elements are null) into a n*d matrix of cartesian
coordinates, assuming that the distances are measured in the
d-dimensional euclidean space.
Here you have to set d=3.
For those who are interested to use the method with distances
issued from a connex molecular graph, note that the multidimensional
scaling needs euclidean distances. Adding a constant to the
distances (as recommended in some books when the distance
is not euclidean) permits to run the algorithm, but the
coordinates generated for molecular graphs after projection
in a 3D space give a rather poor result.

In a common case(for example, data from NMR), the full matrix of
distance is not available. under this case, you should consider
distance geometry, there is a small review in the book of A.R.

I also remember concoord[1] can deal with this problem, but I am not sure.

Dear all,

POLCH 2.1 has become available via 

-->   http://mammoth3.gup.uni-linz.ac.at/~polch

POLCH is an implicit solvation program for proteins
( residues < 500). It is based on the Poisson-Boltzmann
approach and has the following characteristics,

a) all expensive parts of the calculation are carried out
   on the specialized computer chip MD-GRAPE-2

b) consideration of electrostatic as well as non-polar
   contributions

c) PCM-like decomposition into properly separated individual
   contributions

d) usage of Gaussian cube format for ESP maps (electrostatic
   potentials) for straightforward visualization with VMD
   or MOLDEN

e) support of several solvents, ie water, ethanol, n-octanol

It is still all very much in a premature stage and therefore 
any comments/suggestions/experiences are greatly appreciated.

best
sig

Thank you!

My understanding is that the Apache license is very permissive and  
that the code can be included in GPL and related code.

Did the input SMILES have a title - I think that maybe the reason

We'll take a look at these problems and see what's going on
