Hi All..
I have generated= about 320 isomers of a given molecule by randomly rotating
along a cou= ple of bonds and minimized them to find a probable global minimum.
I fou= nd a couple of isomers which have more or less same energy (with a
diff= erence of <0.01 eV). Most probably a couple of isomers have converged to=
the same minimum.
So how can i convince my self that the isomers ar= e same or not ..? It might to
tough for me to compare visually all the = bond lengths and bond angles ..:(

with best wishes

Dear Dr. Hachmann and Dr. Kumar,
Many thanks for your very helpful replies and for the excellent ref= erences.

>=A0 Did you set up your delta-SCF as restricted open s= hell or unrestricted?
I used the default settings in Gaussian09 which is unrestricted for t= he cation, but I would appreciate any advise here. I notice that the delta = SCF values only differ by 0.07 eV but the orbital energies are significantl= y different (cation gas phase alpha HOMO and LUMO values of -6.48 eV and -6= .36 eV as compared with the unrestricted beta gas phase HOMO and LUMO value= s of -10.65 eV and -8.76 eV).

I had two follow up questions here.

1. Using R= OB3LYP results in degenerate alpha and beta orbitals?

2. Is it advised to do cation optimization with UB3LYP instead of B3LYP?=

Thanks again and very best wishes,

Sco= tt

Dear Scott,

The reply from Dr. Johannes Hachmann is really very useful.
The orbital energy of a cation is much lower than that of its
corresponding neutral molecule and again it comes =A0very near to the
case similar to neutral molecule in the presence of a polar solvent.
For some numbers you can see CPL 396 (2004) 43-48.

The U results may not give you a good quantum state, in particular if you have excessive spin contamination, while RO is not very flexible and does not allow for DODS, i.e., the R part cannot adequately account for the interactions with the unpaired electron. In my experience, U results tend to be better, but one has to be more careful how to interpret them. If you have very large spin polarization this indicates that your electronic structure is too complicated for a single-reference approach and you may want to try something more sophisticated than DFT. All bets are off then for the DFT results: you know that RO will be bad, while U results *may* still be ok (but somewhat artificially so). If you use U for the cation, you should try using U for the neutral molecule as well (don't forget to break spin symmetry in your guess!). If the molecule is complicated and the neutral one already shows spin polarization, you *may* get some error cancellation, since both species are treated on the same footing. I would then also use U for the respective geometry optimizations.

As far as I know this is not a trivial task! For neutral systems without electric field one can employ the following equation for a charged complex: E(binding)[AB+]= E[AB+] - {EA + E[B+]} However, for charged systems in external field the total energy is a gauge dependent property. Does anyone know an example in literature that someone measured the binding energy of charged species in electric filed? Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi Scott,

The decision between U and RO is tricky and in my opinion there is no golde= n
bullet - both approaches have their problems :). The U results may not give=
you a good quantum state, in particular if you have excessive spin
contamination, while RO is not very flexible and does not allow for DODS, i.e., the R part cannot adequately account for the interactions with the unpaired electron. In my experience, U results tend to be better, but one has to be more careful how to interpret them. If you have very large spin polarization this indicates that your electronic structure is too
complicated for a single-reference approach and you may want to try
something more sophisticated than DFT. All bets are off then for the DFT results: you know that RO will be bad, while U results *may* still be ok (but somewhat artificially so).

If you use U for the cation, you should try using U for the neutral molecul= e
as well (don't forget to break spin symmetry in your guess!). If the molecule is complicated and the neutral one already shows spin polarization= ,
you *may* get some error cancellation, since both species are treated on th= e
same footing. I would then also use U for the respective geometry
optimizations.

Hope this helps

Best

Johannes

Hi,

You can obtain B3LYP* functional as User-Defined Model = based on BLYP
functional. Consult the Gaussian 09 docs about "User-Defin= ed Model":
http://www.gaussian.com/g_tech/g_ur/k_dft.htm

The= values of the coefficients in the model are probably given in the
Marcu= s Reiher's original paper (DOI: 10.1007/s00214-001-0300-3)
where this fu= nctional has been first defined. Anyway, they are the same
as in the ori= ginal B3LYP, except the factor weighting the HF
exchange (which is 0.15, instead of 0.20).

Mariusz>

It will give you the the dispersion correction within 0.1 second. For most cases, I think a single point calculation is enough. Hi, I do not agree that in the most cases SP is enough. You could check papers by Grimme and others in which is clearly stated that, DFT without dispersion correction gives totally wrong geometries for certain systems. Personally I've studied several weak adducts bonded with weak hydrogen bonds, in which without addition of dispersion correction on geometry optimization level, you cannot get geometries that are stable enough to reproduce data from experiments. Of course this correction (on geometry optimization level) was not so important in similar adducts bonded with stronger H-bonds. It those cases addition dispersion correction on final geometry was enough to get relatively good energetics and thermodynamics. > Of course, if anybody knows how to run a DFT-D3 calculation on G09 with IOP, I also would like to know, thanks! > In newest revision of Gaussian (D.01) which has just arrived (released on 10 May 2013) there is new keyword implemented for dispersion correction which include two DFT-D3 correction variants. It is called EmpiricalDispersion=PFD, GD3 or GD3BJ and quote from release notes "explicitly request Petersson-Frisch dispersion [Austin12] or Grimme’s D3 dispersion [Grimme10] or D3BJ dispersion [Grimme11].".
