Subject: Matrix element  <ground state|d/dq|excited state>


Dear Netters,
Here is one more question concerning computation of matrix elements.  
I want to compute matrix element <ground state|d/dq|excited state>,  
where d/dq is a spatial derivative over a particular cartesian (or  
internal) nuclear coordinate. Is there any program that computes such  
matrix elements?

 Satyam,

My Email bounced (Seems that you've used up your disk quota!), so I'm
replying to the list.

There is a plethora of ECP's for 3rd row transition metals around, and
our group has made some, too. These are of the Huzinaga type
(Bonifacic & Huzinaga, J. C. P. 60, 2779, (1973)), with the nodes kept
for the valence orbitals and the subvalence shell described by frozen
orbitals. Some applications to iridium-containing systems:

$Ir$, and $Re$ --- a systematic comparison.''

Subject: SCF-Convergence problems
To: chemistry@ccl.net

Mailer: Elm [revision: 70.85]



My original request detailed problems obtaining an SCF for a partially optimised
system. The replys I have got are detailed below.

My original Plea for help...
I am running AMPAC v2.1 and have run into problems with SCF convergence. I have
a large, ~60 atoms, molecule which converges OK if carry out a geometry
optimisation on all coordinates. The problem arises when I try to constrain the
optimisation by flaging some of the bonds, angle and torsions to not be
optimised.

        Has anyone experienced this problem with Semi-emp, or QM methods in
general, and has anyone any possible ways to overcome the problem. I would like
to avoid doing a full geometry optimisation for the molecule due to its size.

Andy.

Hi, Andy,

I would appreciate if you let me know (or summarize to CCL) the
answers you get. I started to work on methods to improve convergence
in various contexts. I am not familiar with AMPAC, unfortunately.
Perhaps you could send me some more details?

Best regards

Herbert

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Greetings...Most cases of difficulty I've run into in MOPAC were cured by level
shifting...doe AMPAC do this as well ?

John McKelvey
Wastman Kodak

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Does your AMPAC have the "EF" optimiser ?   If so and it is like the one o
in MOPAC then you can compute the Hessian at the beginning.  That helps a lot.

If you care to send me your original Z-matrix I could take a shot at it, out of scientific curiosity.

John

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 Dear Professor Allen,
 
   If you could send me trhe data file, I'd be happy to take a look at it 
 and see what the difficulty is.  I'll also run it through AMPAC 5.0 and 
 check what the new program does as well.  Please send both data files 
 and the output file for the run that failed.
 
    Andy Holder

##############################################################################

	For the record, AMPAC ver2.1 has SHIFT, PULAY and CAMP-KING convergers
and neither was sucessful in producing an SCF after 200 iterations. As for EF
I have not come across this method.

	I have passed Andy Holder a copy of my input file and as far as I know
he is still looking into it. I have since managed to optimise the the full
structure, and have a gradient of 2.7 Kcal/Ang, I am further refining the
structure to get the gradient even lower.

Hi Steve,

the following could be interessting for you:

   Jure Zupan, Johann Gasteiger,
   "Neural Networks for Chemists, An Introduction",
   VCH Verlagsgesellschaft, Weinheim, 1993.
   ca. 300 pages

The authors not only discuss the basics of neural networks, but also
give 11 different examples of their application to chemical
problems.

Regarding Steven Schafer's request for info on neural nets in chemistry:


The number of papers discussing chemical applications of neural networks is 
approaching 1000.  The Zupan and Gasteiger book suggested by Dr. Wagener is
an excellent source.  Three recent reviews may be faster to acquire than a
book, their refs are given below.  I would suggest a search of CAS-online
for a more complete list.
Good Luck.

AB    A review with 136 references.  Computational neural networks are a new
computational paradigm, inspired by the brain's massively parallel network of
highly interconnected neurons. The interest in computational neural networks
(CNN) derives mainly because they offer a new general paradigm for model
building and function approximation, and not because of their relationship to
models of brain function.  Neural networks are considerably different from
other computational methods in that functional relationships are not programmed
in but are learned directly from data.  This ability to adapt to new data,
along with the "model- free" nature of neural networks allows them to excel at
constructing very general, complex, nonlinear mappings between sets of
input-output pairs, even with noisy data. In fact, CNNs can construct mappings
of arbitrary accuracy for all reasonably well- behaved functions.  In addition
to their mapping ability, neural networks are also useful for pattern
recognition/classification and self-organized clustering. A survey of the
rapidly increasing number of applications of neural networks in chemistry will
highlight some of their properties and limitations, and show what their impact
may be in computer-aided chemistry.

Subject: "d" functions and the MNDO hamiltonian


                                                     15 April 94
Dear Netters:

Given the recent discussions concerning semi-empirical hamiltonians,
and with Walter Thiel's  permission, I pass along the response to
an inquiry I made to him in early March concerning the status of
his paramerisations for MNDO/D.  The work already published by him 
on MNDO/D speaks for itself, and I feel it raises a question as to
duplication by other researchers. 

So.......

Dear John, 
                                                       11 March 94
 
Our distributed MNDO93 (UniChem) version contains MNDO/d parameters
for Na,Mg,Al,Si,P,S,Cl,Zn,Ge,As,Se,Br,Cd,Sn,Sb,Te,I,Hg (18 elements,
but only trivial metals). I still have to write up most of the
corresponding papers - only the Cl,Br,I paper has appeared, and the
Si paper is in press.
 
We have preliminary parameters for Ti,Cr,Mn,Fe,Ni,Cu,Zr,Hf and plan
to decide on the final formalism and parametrization within the
next 6 months. The transition metals have been more difficult than
the main-group elements (no surprise), and we just want to be sure
to do a good job (hence extensive tests).


Best Regards,

Walter Thiel

  Greetings Fellow Netters:

  Does anyone have (or know of) available molecular models for Ca++ channels?

  Thanks in Advance
