Hi Netters!

Do you have information on the new HP machines C180 (CPU PA8000)?
Particulary, do you have benchmark information for Gaussian,AMBER, MOPAC,..
compared with SGI-R8000?

Thanks a lot!

Subject: Ionization Potential and Electron Affinity
Cc: cscwyt@leonis.nus.sg


Dear Colleagues,

I have two questions:

1. Which atom has the lowest first ionization potential ?
   I believe it should be either Caesium(Cs) or Francium(Fr).
   The first IP of Cs is 0.142 hartree.  Is there any experimental
   or theoretical value for the first IP of Fr ?

2. Which atom has the the largest electron affinity ?
   I believe it is chlorine atom.  The experimental value is 0.133 hartree.
   Is there any theoretical value ?




Best Regards,

Yat-Ting Wong

Dear all,

I'm interested in the geometries of complexes of carboxylic acids with one
or two water molecules. Can anyone provide me with references, coordinates,
etc....., either from experiment or calculations (preferably ab initio).

Important: The info should be about:
   (a) gas phase, not solution phase
   (b) NO amino acids, 
          only carboxylic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, ..

Please:
  Reply to me personally, I'll summarize then for the list.

Thank you very much!

RTK

Dear Netters,

	Would you please give me some hints for chemical shielding
calculation: 

1.  Absolute shielding is considered as the best measure of the quality of
calculated shielding tensor components.  Why not chemical shift anisotropy
and eta? 

2.  Since the experimental CSA and eta "contain" the effects of the
environment, should one choose the experimental geometry rather than
trying to optimized the geometry of the species when the absolute 
shielding scale is not available.

Many thanks,
Jerry
