Hello.  I don't know if this is the right group to ask this question,
but here goes...I am doing some research and I need a chelation agent
for soil remediation.  I have 350 mg of Cadmium per kg of soil,
100 mg of Silver per kg of soil, and 100 of Copper per kg of soil, and
must be removed to the following levels:  15 mg Cadmium, 15 mg Silver,
and 15 mg Copper.  Is there a chelation agent that can do this?
Are there any references that I can turn to?  I appreciate any help
regarding this matter.  Thanks!

Although I do have a working version of MM3 on my Macintosh Quadra,
it is not yet ready for public consumption.

I estimate that it will take another two months to test and
polish MM3 for the Macintosh.

Subject: Orbital energies in AMPAC
To: chemistry@ccl.net
Date: Mon, 24 Jan 94 10:30:27 GMT
Mailer: Elm [revision: 70.85]


Dear All       
	I am trying to calculate accurate orbital energies for a series of
molecules using AMPAC2.1 under AMSOL. At the moment I am trying two possible
way of obtaining the first excited state orbital, ie the LUMO. 

	a) To use the keyword EXCITED (eqivalent to OPEN(2,2), SINGLET, ROOT=2)
and then record the HOMO energy reported, which I think should be equivalent to
the HOMO of the ground state. This should allow for any geometry changes that
occur during excitation.

	b) To calculate a very accurate ground state an to take the differences
in the eigenvalues reported, for the two middle orbital energies.

The problems I have run into are simply that the EXCITED state calculations are
difficult to converge, and I have initial gradients in excess of 100Kcal/Ang.
The second method is easy to converge, I get some nice Gradients, but the
differences in the eigenvalues for the HOMO and LUMO given seem to be much too
large.

Eg. Benzene     
	Ground State Calculation (Ionisation potential = 9.652 eV)
	Excited State Calculation (Ionisation potential = 3.275 eV)
	Eigenvalues for Groundstate (-9.652 and 0.554 eV)

method a) gives the UV transition as 194.4 nm, method b) gives the UV transition
as 121.5 nm. The experimental is 203.5 nm.

	Can someone give me pointers to the better method of calculating these
orbital energies. I would exclusively use method b) as it it gives results
closer to the experimental, but as mentioned, the excited states are difficult
to converge, and very time consuming to calculate.

Yours in hope Andy.

Whoops method a) as shown below should read ", which I think should be 
equivalent to the LUMO of the ground state." Sorry for any confusion. I am of
course trying to calculate the lamba max (UV transitions) and hence need
accurate orbitql energies.

Subject: MM+ in new HYPERCHEM


I know, HyperChem is a very good program, but
when I used MM+ in the new version 3.0 of HyperChem I got the following:
                 O
compound:   R1-N-C-N-R2       R1=R2 (identical topology and charges)
               H   H
results (single point of energy for part of molecule): 

      MM+ (bond dipoles)  MM+ (atomic charges)  AMBER   OPLS
------------------------------------------------------------
R1       -1.                     -5.             -37.   -40.
R2       -3.                   -437.             -39.   -46.

Results for MM+ (atomic charges) are in obvious way incorrect.
Since I have another compounds with atom types that only MM+ can cope with, 
I will be glad to hear from you how to resolve this problem.

HIN file for the molecule is available upon request.

During a recent conversation with Norimasa Yamazaki (Tokyo), who ported
ORTEP for Unix platforms, I was told that he has a new version which can
handle 400 atoms and run on a Macintosh.  I didn't gather additional
details, but, if you are interested I can find out more.

  Hello,
  Dear Netters,

  I would like to know which ab initio MCSCF programs are well vectorized
  to run on a CRAY. ?
   ( My experience is that GAMESS is middly vectorized so far,
     Gaussian92 CASSCF is not very sophisticated,
     I going to try SIRIUS soon also on a CRAY).
  I have heard that COLOMBUS is very well
  vectorized and available by anonymous ftp but where ?

  What I am looking for is :
  A very well vectorized direct MCSCF program, with very good
 convergence properties for the excited states ( if possible,
 with molecular gradients which should allow geometry optimization )

Subject: C6H5O2: Geom Opt with "difficult systems"


Benzoic radical has been causing some problems, due to
pathological coupling between doublet states and geometry causing
optimisation of the latter to go haywire. I have often found that if a
geometry is adjusted in a "chemical sense", the problem can often be
solved. In this case, starting with an orthogonal (C2v) geometry for
the radical and then doing a reaction path to twist it to planarity presumably
removes the sigma/pi degeneracies that were causing the problem.
The final energy by the way is -10.8 kcal/mol, about 10 lower then
previously obtained, and a gradient norm of <0.8 can be obtained using
MOPAC-93. The EF option in this event does not appear to work, but
BFGS is just fine (gradient problems?)

Subject: Request: Prog or code to convert xyz f. const to int.


Netters-
	I'm trying to write a little program to convert force constants from
xyz co-ordinates to internal co-ordinates without having to worry about
redundencies.  This code would assume the force constants in xyz and b-matrix
already exist.  (They come from hondo 8.2)  I'm also interested in programs
that are freely available that do this already.  Due to my limited funding,
I'm not currently able to get the proper programs from QCPE that do this.
I do not need to generate the vibrational frequencies, just convert force
constants from one format to another.  

	I know that the following should work:
		F(int) = B x F(xyz) x B-1
where B is the b-matrix, and B-1 is the transposed b-matrix.  However, I
noticed that in hondo, they seem to use the inverse B matrix instead.  I
would like to use the 'normal' b-matrix for such work.  Also, to be able to
convert the units within the program.  If such a program exists in the public
domain, please send me information on it.  If not, I would like suggestions
on how I can write such a program.  Once written, I will be more than happy to
put the source code in the public domain, giving credit to those who help.
My current work is in C, but current fortran code is also useful.
		Virtually,
		Edward Wolpert

Hi, 

I have the mail about the problem with charges in MM+.

I was wondering how do you get charges at all ?

Columbus is available from ftp.tcg.anl.gov in /pub/columbus.  The last
version of SIRIUS I played with was reasonably vectorized.  That was
5+ years ago so they have probably done a great deal of optimization
on it by now.

The Columbus MCSCF is not direct but will meet most of your other requirements.

Subject: Rank Data in QSAR Summary


I've summarized responses and further "diggings" of my own concerning 
the request I posted earlier about using ranked bio-data in QSAR...

>Dear Netters,
>Do any of you QSAR practitioners out there know of any literature references 
>(or personal experiences) using ranked bio data in QSAR studies? I am

It turns out that after a *serious* scouring of the literature I was able
to find several references on the use of the Rank Transform in QSAR...

A paper covering the "fundamentals" of the Rank Transform for use 
in regression is:

*	R.L. Inman and W.J. Conover, Technometrics, 21, 499, 1979.

>From this article a "bottom-line" finding is that ALL parameters, both
dependent and independent variables are ranked to do regression. (This 
can easily be accomplished using a program like SAS.)

Applications of the Rank Transform to QSAR problems were refered to in 
an article by P. Magee for the QSAR Newsletter (written for the International 
QSAR Society, Winter 1993). This article was abstracted by the author, 
(P. Magee) from "Rational Approaches to Structure, Activity, and 
Ecotoxicology of Agrochemicals", W. Draber and T. Fujita eds., CRC Press,
Boca Raton, FL, Chapter 3, (1992). 

Other public literature cited in P. Magee's article included:

*	A.R. Bell, R.A. Covey, D.I. Relyea and P.S. Magee, "Proc. Br. Crop
	Prot. Conf.-Weeds", (1), 249, (1987).

*	M.A.Pleiss in "QSAR in Design of Bioactive Compounds", M. Kuchar ed.,
	J.M. Prous International Publishers, Barcelona, Spain, 403, (1984).

done with multiple ranks.

Dear Netters,
Does anyone know about the workshop on Quantum Chemical Methods held once
a year (probably in Gainesville, but I am not sure). I need the dates and
the address. I will let everybody know about this, once I have the answer.

Is there an online submission process for abstracts for posters at upcoming

Is there an online source for abstract forms?
  
Is there an online source for abstract instructions?
  
Is there a FAST real-world source for abstract forms?  They're like

looks like an income tax sheet.
  
  Thanks,
