Subject: MOPAC-Charges: Summary


Dear CCLers

some weeks ago I asked for the charges calculated in MOPAC:

> MOPAC calculates "NET ATOMIC CHARGES" in a really simple manner: 
> atom electron densities are calculated as a sum of the diagonal elements of 
> the density matrix, and net atomic charges are then calculated by subtracting
> this value from the core charge.
> I know, there are much better methods for charge calculation (ESP...), however,
> can anybody tell me, whether this method has a special name, or can give me a
> literature reference ?

I got several different answers, however, the MOPAC charges are of Coulson type.

Subject: CCL:G: Orbital contrib. to molecular prop.'s


Hi !

I am calculating electric field gradients (in cadmium complexes) using
Gaussian94 (and MolCas). It is, of course, possible to get this molecular
property once the total wavefunction is known, but I would like to get a
bit more detailed information, and my question is : 

  "Is it possible to split the total electric field gradient into
   individual molecular orbital contributions using Gaussian94 ?"

(I am using this in a context where it is sufficient to use to SCF orbitals).

			Thanks in advance, Lars Hemmingsen

Dear CCL'ers,

        A while back I asked this question:


	I am trying to model the interactions of intercalated molecules

	in lamellar phosphates of Ti. I am looking for molecular mechanics

        parameters (van der Waals parameters at least) for this compounds.  

        Does anybody know where I could obtain these parameters or

	a method to calculate them ?


        I had these two answers, thanks a lot for spent some of your

	time in answering my question.

Cc: D.Turner@sheffield.ac.uk


Hello

I trying to find out general opinion as to which molecular mechanics/
force-field software provides the most reliable IR-range vibrational
frequencies. I am interested in MM-based methods since I am looking
to do rapid calculations on sets of small organic molecules, as typically
encountered in pharmaceutical/agrochemical applications. I am NOT
interested in proteins, polyscaccharides or other large polymers.

Due to the nature of the application (QSAR studies) I am more concerned with
relative rather than absolute accuracy of the calculated frequencies.

Thus far MM3(94) has been suggested to me.

Thanks in advance for any help

Dear CCL'ers,

I have just a little question about HyperChem, since I am not too much
familiarized with this package, but with Ampac and Mopac.
Is there any possibility of reading the Am(Mo)pac density matrix with
HyperChem in order to avoid a single point calculation each time I need
to work with spin or charge surfaces plots? 
I suspect the answer is affirmative (via using a script file, maybe),
but I don't know how to handle it, so could anybody help me, please?

Thanking in advance,

Jose

When using CHARMM or AMBER for molecular dynamics, the system is usually
heated to the required temperature, ran in an equilibration period, and
only then is the actual production run.  However, in Discover, there is
no heating phase.  The system is instanteously heated to the required
temperature and equilibrated before the production phase.

Why the difference in the two approaches?  What is Discover doing
differently from CHARMM and AMBER so that a heating phase is not
required?

The Web as a new operating system metaphor is also the objective of the
X-Window consortium, and perhaps even  Apple OpenDoc/Cyberdog.
Thus what Paul Weber writes seems pretty much on the ball!

Somehow I doubt we will end up with only one.  But I
fully endorse the need to search for standards. Perhaps I
should note that IUPAC is convening a new committee,
CPEP (printed and electronic publications) which takes
Internet standards as one of its major briefs.  It
will only respond to what the community wants (I
hope). If people want to go  "off-line" from this forum to
discuss these issues, do post to
chemime@ic.ac.uk

>Watch the Web for more big developments soon!

Do  I take this to mean that with conventional chemistry software
markets perhaps stagnant or certainly not expanding as fast as in the
past, the "Internet" is viewed by all as the great new white hope?
We can all only benefit it this is so!
