Dear Netters,

There is a phenomenon i don't understand:
The signs of wave-function-coefficients are of no physical relevance,
except their relative signs.  I've run a little CNDO/S-Program on a
HP700 and the same program on an IBM-RS6000. The absolute values of
the CI-coefficients where identical in both runs (at least within 
numerical tolerances). But the signs were different!!
The same effect could be seen for the signs of transition-moments.
The values and signs of any observables are not affected at all, as
expected.
Could anyone explain that?
Thanx                                     Michael E. Beck
                                          Cologne, Germany

Netters,

In a recent article on a catalyst, I saw a reference to the ZINDO program.

Has anybody got some info on this program ?

Thank you,

Near degeneracy of several states, the numbers (coefficients) are so 
close (at least within numerical tolerances - in your words) that 
different machines arranged the near degenerate states in different
orders.  Suggest: 1. Count the number of nodes to see if they are equal
or nearly equal; 2. Run for a system where near degeneracies are known
not to occur.

Michael E. Beck,   Simply put, a the product of a scalar times an eigenfunction 
is still an eigenfunction.  In the case of your experience, the scalar is -1.  
You found expectation values to be identical since -1*-1 = 1*1.

Subject: FF parameters for sulfonic acids?
To: CHEMISTRY@ccl.net
Date: Thu, 25 Aug 94 14:52:42 PDT
Mailer: Elm [revision: 70.85]


Im interested in modeling the behavior of sulfonic acids (especially
phenylsulfonic acids) in aqueous solution using a FF/MM approach.
However, I havent found any FF-parameters for sulfur(VI) yet - and I 
dont feel like reinventing the wheel and deriving them from scratch 
- at least I hope that some work has been done on that already and
I just havent found it.

So if anybody out there has experiences/parameters/references 
or any pointers to calculations of this type, Id be happy if
they could share them with me.

Subject: What do Molecular Graphics programs and MM programs do.


I am trying to understand the domain in which Molecular Modelling
codes operate.
What would be a minimum requirement for a program to be termed
as one which models a molecule.
1. Just display the molecule on a screen.
2. Optimise the geometry based on what kind of input ?
3. What kind of interactions are treated.
4. Do some kind of spectral analysis.
I wonder if some interested party who is knolegable about
such progarms would be kind enough to write to this list.
I see too many wrong responses to peoples questions
by too many non specialists ( I am not one therefore I am
asking a question )
This is just an observation not a guideline.
So please do not send me huge binaries by mail.
