Although it is claimed that the RS6000 results are correct. According to 
my work. It is not true.

	Take Dimethylacetylene and try to do the frequency caculation, 
usually you will always get a saddle point. (it is D3H point group), 
finally I got a local minium, but it is a D2h point group.

	If you like, I can give you my input file and result.

Actually, there was a bug only on when running in parallel, only on
the Cray and only in Revision C (not earlier or later versions).  Cray
users of G94 should upgrade to RevD, or run frequencies using only one
processor.  The Berlin site was sent a RevD.2 tape on April 12.

Dear netters,

this is the summary to my recent question about computational methods
to calculate magnetic susceptibilities.
The collective wisdom of the net was again amazing, and I thank everybody
who took the time to answer!

This was my question:

I am interested in calculations of the magnetic susceptibility,
among other (static) magnetic properties. I know that the
susceptibility is calculated in the IGLO program. I also know
some references for this -- simply read about any IGLO paper.

(good starting points are the various reviews of the IGLO method,
e.g., W. Kutzelnigg et al, in: NMR Basic Principles and Progress,
                           Vol.23, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 1990,
                           p. 165
      W. Kutzelnigg et al, in: Nuclear Magnetic Shielding and
                           Molecular Structure (W. Tossell, Ed.),
                           NATO ASI Vol. C386, Kluwer, Dordrecht,
                           1993, p. 141
among others. The original references can be traced from the reviews)

My question now is, are there other implementations of the 
susceptibility? I am curious about all kinds of methods, ab initio
(like IGLO), DFT, semi-empirical ...

==============================================================================

And here are the answers:
==============================================================================

Steven Creve wrote

Yes there are!! You should contact Denis R. Salahub: the calculation of all
kinds of magnetic properties are implemented in his DFT-program: deMon.

This program uses SOS-DFPT (=sum-over-states density functional perturbation
theory) to calculate the second order properties in an IGLO manner.

I would really appreciate it if you would send a summary of the answers to me
or to the net, because I'm very interested in NMR & ESR parameters too.

Thanks in advance
Steven

steven.creve@chem.kuleuven.ac.be
==============================================================================
[Comment of G.S.:]
I knew the work of Malkin / Salahub / Kaupp et al. myself but I hadn't come
across anything about the susceptibility. Therefore, I doubt that the magnetic
susceptibility is one of the many properties in deMon (cf. also the letter of
Martin Kaupp below that doesn't mention anything like that) Maybe someone can 
update me with an appropriate literature reference about this point?

Hi!

I can recommend our program DALTON
(http://www.uio.no/~kenneth/hersiraba.html), which will give you 
magnetizabilities as the SCF and MCSCF level using London atomic
orbitals (GIAOs). The SCF results using basis sets of DZP quality
gives you results within 2% of the Hartree-Fock limit, which is
significantly better than IGLO (which uses completeness relations in
their derivations). We are not planning to distribute it freely before
1.January 1997, but if you are interested, we can probably provide you
with something.

Apart from that I guess you have the CADPAC program (DFT
magnetizabilities with conventional orbitals), the program provided by
Bader through the Gaussian94 code (I haven't seen calculations with
small basis sets, so I don't know exactly how good it performs), but
there exist a theory with supposedly better basis set convergence
version in the SYSPRO(?) (can't quite recall) by Lazzeretti and
coworkers. There is also the so called gauge invariant approach by
Geertsen. Bishop and Cybulski has also the possibility of calculating MP2
magnetizabilities using conventional orbitals.

If you are interested in any (or all) of these methods, please let me
know, and I will provide you with proper references.

Best regards,
Kenneth

[a few lines deleted]

As far as I know, the Oslo group (e.g. K. Ruud) uses SCF- and MCSCF-GIAO
extensively for susceptibilities as well. The same holds, I think, for 
Oddershede et al. within the LORG and SOPPA approaches.

Experience of Handy and coworkers with DFT (CDFT-GIAO) are discouraging (unlike 
what is known for chemical shieldings), probably as the susceptibility probes
the long-range behavior of the V_xc functionals. The reference is:
A.M.Lee,S.M.Colwell,N.C.Handy Chem.Phys.Lett.1994,229,225. Cf. their
paper on CDFT for shieldings: J.Chem.Phys. 1995,103,10095.

Catalogue format desired (list "1," "2," "3" or "4"):

*------------cut here/end--------------------------------------------*


Catalogue Format Options:
1.  19-Part email- can be read by EVERYONE (~525 K Total).
2.  For more advanced computer users:  attached text file ~525K - you
     must know how to download an attached text file and then be able to
     open it with your word processor.  If in doubt, don't ask for this
     version.  This isn't for internet *newbies.* Better to order option 1
     and spend a few minutes pasting them into one whole text document
     with your word processor, than to waste hours trying to figure how
     to deal with this option.
3.  For more advanced Macintosh computer users: compressed attached
     text file, created with a Stuffit(tm) self-extracting archive (.sea),
      ~133K.  Can be decompressed by any Macintosh computer user; no
     special expansion software or knowledge of Stuffit (tm) needed.  You
     just double-click on the file icon and it automatically expands
     (unstuffs). This is for more advanced mac computer users only, as 
     you still have to know how to deal with an attached file.  It will cut 
     your download time by 75%.   Expands out to the same ~525K file in 
     option #2.  See option #2 for more info on what you will need to be 
     able to do.
4.  For expert computer users: compressed attached text file, created with
     Stuffit(tm),  ~114K.  Can be decompressed by any computer user who
     has expansion software to decompress (expand) Stuffit(tm) (.sit) files.
     This is for more advanced computer users only and will cut your
     download time by 78%.   Expands out to the same ~525K file in option
     #2.  See option #2 for more info on what you will need to be able to do.



Hi fellow 'netters,

My name is Lewis Arons and I recently started using a magazine subscription
club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription deal with your
first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them.    They have over
1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country on a
subscription basis.   As for computer magazines from the USA, they more of a
selection than I ever knew even existed.  They have magazines for most every
area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles.

Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their
competitors and even the publishers themselves.  This is their price
guarantee.

Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half of
what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines.  On some
titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge.  They
feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas.   In the USA, people buy
magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes or
hours.  They are so cheap in the USA!   Well, this company would like to make
it the same way for their overseas members.  They are also cheaper than all
their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the publishers
themselves!   This is their price guarantee.  Around one-half their business
comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new members who only speak
limited English as a 2nd language.

Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and
cut-out all the middlemen.

They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey)
!)...if you completely fill out the form above.  It has lists of all the
freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories
and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell.

Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student.  I
don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my
part-time software business!  Please fill out the above form and carefully
follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail.

They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are less
than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other times,
just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet.  They
assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it.  

They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I
haved moved from one country to another.

They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from a
special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA.   They will
give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them
to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular
USA titles they sell.  

They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have
clients in around 45 or 46 countries now.  Outside the USA there is a charge
for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie subs) that
varies from magazine to magazine.  I have found their staff to be very
friendly and courteous.  They even helped me with an address change when I
moved from one country to another.
 
The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members"
(even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase
automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts
as a new member.   When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls you
personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes he has
one of his assistants call.  He is kind of quirky sometimes - he insists on
setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I sure wouldn't
want to have his phone bills!),  but you can place future orders (after your
first order) via E-mail.   

He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know
just as much as he does about this magazine stuff.  If you live overseas, he
will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he still
makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long distance
rates are cheaper then.  

He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing
members and he does virtually no advertising.  When I got set-up, they had a
2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they could
join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately when you
call. )  I think they are able to get back to prospective new members  the
same day or within a few days now, as they have increased their staff.  I am
not sure about this.........but if you email the above form to them, that is
the way to get started!

They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey)
!)...if you completely fill out the form above.  It has lists of all the
freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories
and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell.

They then send you email  that outlines how his club works and the list of
free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what he
sells;  and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly,
no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and
answer all your questions.

Once you get in, you'll love them. I do.


Sincerely,

Lewis Arons
