Dear Netters,	 
I am interested in knowing if anyone has written program(s) 
to write Z-matrix for LARGE MOLECULE..using Z-matrix of SMALL 
FRAGMENT(s)..which may /may not be same..e.g.    

A simple one..  
P-NITROANILINE = NO2 + BENZENE + NH2 + DUMMY ATOMS   


But the interest is in
very large molecules ..    
THANKS

Subject: Queuing .bat file for GMMX


Dear Colleagues;

     Has anyone out there ever written a functional .bat file for queuing
runs for the programme GMMX?  GMMX is a sort-of DOS implementation of the
conformational searching subroutine of MacroModel, and is sold by Serena
Software of Bloomington, Indiana.  The file that I wrote. named "qgmmx.bat",
appears at the end of this letter, but does not work without periodic inter-
vention on my part.  I would liike to have a .bat file which just lets me
queue the compounds for which I wish to do a conformational search and does
them automatically so that I can go off and do other things meanwhile.

     It should be assumed that I have already prepared the relevent .inp files
using the "gmmxinp" command for compounds a, b, c, etc. (see "qgmmy.bat", be-
low).

     I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has successfully written
such a .bat file.

     Thanks in advance to all responders.


Sincerely,

Hi,

Some interesting approaches to this problem have been suggested by DeTar:
for example, see J.Org.Chem. 56, 1463 (1991) and accompanying
articles. Also see DeTar, Ninzet and Darba, J.Org.Chem. 50, 2826 (1985);
ibid., 5298 (1985); ibid., 5304 (1985).

Basically, in DeTar's approach
a series of isodesmic comparisons is made to define the "formal 
steric enthalpy," which is then used to obtain 
heats of formation. The method, which is quite general, can even
be used in conjunction with ab initio methods and contains no
adjustable parameters, which is nice.

I hope this helps -
rqt

I found the following references helpful:

Straatsma, Berendsen and Stam, Mol. Phys. 57(1), 89 (1986);
Allen and Tildesley, Computer Simulation of Liquids.

You might also like to have a look at a paper of mine:
Topper and Truhlar, J. Chem. Phys. 97, 3647 (1992).

I hope this helps -
best, rqt

I break up the trajectory into 5 smaller trajectories and calculate the
RDF's and number of first solvation shell neighbors for each of the smaller
trajectories.  Using these 5 subsets, you can calculate the deviation or
error.  This method is similar to the standard way of calculating the error
in the averages obtained from and MD or MC simulation.

Hope this helps

Best regards,
Eric

Is iron typed in the MM2 implementation for Spartan?  Allinger did assign
50 to the metals in general, but it seems as though the assignment is
not being made in the software. 

I obtained the MM2 parameters for iron porphyrins from Munro et al.,
J.Am.Chem.Soc., 1992, 114, 7218.  I wrote them into my parameter file, and
then I attempted to do a calculation on iron octamethyl tetraphenyl
porphyrin.  The software gave me an error message:  it said that the iron
was untyped.  It seems that Spartan did not recognize the type-50 atoms in
the parameter file. 

Have any of you attempted a MM2 calculation on a metal complex, using
Spartan?  If so, did you have a problem with the metal atom typing?  Were
you able to get around the problem?  Thanks in advance. 

p.s.  Thanks to all of you who gave me informations on the PM3 parameters
for iron!  As for the multiplicity problem, I have followed the people's
suggestions and checked the charge of the molecule and the number of
electrons.  They looked fine, and therefore I'm still stuck with the
problem.  This afternoon, I'm going to show the problem to a friend who is
very familiar with Spartan.  I'm hoping that we'd be able to find the
solution then.
