During the initial stages of direct scf integrals are calculated with
pretty loose tolerances and cutoffs to speed things up.  However, this
can lead to problems sometimes.  Gaussian detects this and tightens up
the integral evaluation if necessary.  Did the job eventually converge?

           Hola,
           El mensaje que tienes se refiere a un calculo directo, por
defecto el Gaussian en un calculo de este tipo reduce la precision de
calculo la integrales bielectronicas que incluye en el proceso scf, hasta
que se alcanza una convergencia en la funcion de onda determinada a partir
de entonces cambia a precision normal En tu calculo el programa no alcanza
la convergencia con el primer criterio (en el capitulo 4 del manual dice
que el primer paso se termina despues de 21 iteraciones se alcanze o no la
convergencia) y cambia al criterio estricto. Puede que aun asi se alcanze
la convergencia en el SCF pero bastantes veces da problemas. Como primera
opcion, si la funcion de onda no converge es usar SCF=NoVarAcc con lo que
se realiza todo el calculo con alta precision desde el principio.
           Espero que te sirva de ayuda.

Nothing to worry about.  The program just tells you that the cheap
way of doing it didn't work, and that it is therefore switching to the
more accurate (but more time-consuming) method.  Happens often.

    Hola de nuevo:
    Es normal que tarde bastante, por el trozo de salida de tu primer
mensaje supongo que tienes algun metal de transicion en la molecula (el
programa hace una densidad de prueba (guess en ingles, nunca se como
traducirlo) con un Huckel en vez de con un INDO que es lo normal para
molecular organicas. Ten paciencia yo te recomendaria que en tu entrada
pusies #p en vez de #n con lo uqe te sale mucha mas informacion, en
particular sobre los ciclos SCF, puedes ver como va la conergencia y si
vale la pena esperar, tambien puedes tratar varios algoritmos de
convergencia como VShift (que separa artificialmente el HOMO del LUMO una
cantidad determinada y es conveniente en los metales de transicion donde
estos orbitales suelen estar muy proximos (esto no tiene ningun efecto
sobre los orbitales finales es solo para el principio de las iteraciones)
tambien puedes usar quadratic Convergence (qc) que suele converger mejor
pero que tarda mucho mas.
    Bueno nada mas, que los duendes de los ciclos SCF no se porten muy mal
               Carlos

Cheolho,

    Any X-Windows terminal emulator should work with Cerius2.
The "Cerius2 Installation and Administration Guide" lists a
number of them on pp 31-32.  I have personally run it from a
Windows 3.1 PC using Hummingbird's Exceed 4.

Good luck,
Paul Soper

Cheol Choi,
I also use Cerius2, and I have been using MacX 1.2 on my power mac. This has 
worked ok with Cerius2 version 1.6. However,  I am currently having a problem
with the new version  -  Cerius2 2.0. 
Good Luck,

Dear Mr. Choi,

You can use any X-terminal for Cerius2. Cerius2 will run in X-window mode
automatically.  However, for Quanta, it's best to buy an SGI indy and use it as
an terminal. If you can get your MSI representative to give you a floating
license, then with you newly aquired indy, you can run Quanta on your machine
with the existing license of Quanta.

Hope the above help.
By the way, I sell Quanta and C2 in Korea.

Sincerely,

Sang

Dear Dr. Choi,

   I don't know of anything which supports DGL other than another SGI
workstation.  However:

   Cerius2 can be run in X11 mode to display on X-terminals even if they do
not support DGL; you should try to arrange a trial of the X-terminal
software before purchasing any since not all software completely supports
the X11 protocol.

   QUANTA will not run on a remote display even if it is DGL-capable.  The
program will run extremely slowly and some portions do not work.  MSI does
not support remote display capabilities for QUANTA on any platform.

       Bob Funchess

Dear Cheolho Choi,

Thanks for your message. My e-mail has been down for the last 3 weeks so I
apologize for the delay in responding.

Cerius2 does support X-terminal emulation but Quanta unfortunately does not.

We do not have any plans to make Quanta accesssible at this point as
evenetually Quanta's functionality will be incorporated in a new
architecture similar to C2 that will support x-term communication.

A solution could be visit our home page and download a free copy of our
WebLab Viewer.  This Viewer is free and allows you to import  Quanta's
files into the program for viewing only.

The other option is to switch from Quanta to Insight and purchase the
module called AXXESS that allows a user to drive Insight from an
x-terminal.


Thanks,
Amanda

Sorry.
I think I made a mistake in sending a summary. 
This is a summary of the answers. 
Thanks,

    Any X-Windows terminal emulator should work with Cerius2.
The "Cerius2 Installation and Administration Guide" lists a
number of them on pp 31-32.  I have personally run it from a
Windows 3.1 PC using Hummingbird's Exceed 4.

Good luck,
Paul Soper

        Reply to:   RE>CCL:X Server for Quanta and Cerius2 ?

Cheol Choi,
I also use Cerius2, and I have been using MacX 1.2 on my power mac. This has 
worked ok with Cerius2 version 1.6. However,  I am currently having a problem
with the new version  -  Cerius2 2.0. 
Good Luck,

Try Vista eXceed (I am not sure how you would get it).
It is not public domain but I don't think it is too
expensive.

Regards


Mark



Dear Mr. Choi,

You can use any X-terminal for Cerius2. Cerius2 will run in X-window mode
automatically.  However, for Quanta, it's best to buy an SGI indy and use it as
an terminal. If you can get your MSI representative to give you a floating
license, then with you newly aquired indy, you can run Quanta on your machine
with the existing license of Quanta.

Hope the above help.
By the way, I sell Quanta and C2 in Korea.

Sincerely,
Sang

Dear Dr. Choi,

   I don't know of anything which supports DGL other than another SGI
workstation.  However:

   Cerius2 can be run in X11 mode to display on X-terminals even if they do
not support DGL; you should try to arrange a trial of the X-terminal
software before purchasing any since not all software completely supports
the X11 protocol.

   QUANTA will not run on a remote display even if it is DGL-capable.  The
program will run extremely slowly and some portions do not work.  MSI does
not support remote display capabilities for QUANTA on any platform.

   Regards,
       Bob Funchess

Dear Cheolho Choi,

Thanks for your message. My e-mail has been down for the last 3 weeks so I
apologize for the delay in responding.

Cerius2 does support X-terminal emulation but Quanta unfortunately does not.

We do not have any plans to make Quanta accesssible at this point as
evenetually Quanta's functionality will be incorporated in a new
architecture similar to C2 that will support x-term communication.

A solution could be visit our home page and download a free copy of our
WebLab Viewer.  This Viewer is free and allows you to import  Quanta's
files into the program for viewing only.

The other option is to switch from Quanta to Insight and purchase the
module called AXXESS that allows a user to drive Insight from an
x-terminal.


Thanks,
Amanda

Dear ccl:

 I posted a message inquiring programs which can do implicit solvent model
while
performing energy minimization & molecular dynamics. Here is a summary of the
responses I have got.  Thanks to all who replied!

MacroModel/BatchMin has GB/SA solvation, which will probably do what you need.
See the URL below for info. on cost and availability, and also for
literature references to GB/SA.

An excellent program FANTOM written by Werner Braun and co-workers can do
that. Please, refer to the following web page for information:

http://www.hbcg.utmb.edu/faculty/braun/fm_home.html

FANTOM is free of charge for academic users.

Hi,

Have a look to the TINKER program which is free:
http://dasher.wustl.edu/tinker/

It has a GB/SA module!

Feng,

  I saw you message on the Computational chemistry BB. Since you have CHARMM
you should consider the ASP (atomic solvation parameter) method of
Wesson and Eisenberg. It is implemented in both the academic and MSI
versions of CHARMM. Unfortunatly the documentation for it is almost
nonexistent. A grep in the /quanta/data/doc subdirectory will confirm
it's existance, but not much else.

  Another good package you might want to consider is Jay Ponder's
TINKER. It includes Still's GB/SA method. Possibly some others.

Dear Feng,

Xplor has a simple and fast excluded volume implicit solvent model,
although this may not yet be in the official version. But there's
just a small piece of code to add, which you can probably obtain
from Axel Brunger. The original reference for this model is
Colonna & Sander, 1990, Biophys.J. 57:1103, and Chris Sander has
published more recent papers using it. It's similar to an accessible
surface area, but faster.

There are a couple very effective implicit solvation models that I know of
and can recommend, but they are both implemented for semiempirical QM
methods, rather than molecular mechanics.  COSMO by Klamt in MOPAC and SM2
(or SM5 now?) by Cramer and Truhlar in Amsol have picked up some pretty
subtle geometric effects that are completely missed by simpler SCRF models
(which assume only a spherical cavity.)  Is your system small enough to
model semiempirically?

Hello everybody,

yesterday I posted 2 questions about Spartan.  A large number of people 
responded; my thanks to all of them.  The original questions and summary of 
replies follow.

Cheers

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

1)   "How to start a Spartan job from a non-graphical terminal ?" 

The proper command is 

spartan -x jobname &

One needs not worry about the Spartan path or env. variables.  Do not use 
sp_abinitio etc.; spartan will take care of that.  jobname should be a 
directory containinng files _spartan, input, and propin.  They can be 
created from either interactive version by setting up (but not submitting) 
a job, or by a text editor if you know the proper format.

In an unlikely case when you start interactive Spartan by a command other 
than spartan, you probably need to use that command instead:

interactive-spartan-alias -x jobname &
 
======================================================================

2) "Why PURED keyword did not work on Fe atom with 3-21G ?"

As I was told, the keyword was intended to work on diffuse functions of 
main group elements, but not on d-elements.  This does not apply to 
STO-3G, where PURED will work with d-elements.

Dear Ernest:

  Thanks very mych for your message.  We are currently looking for
mostly MM programs, eben though an AMSOL calculation might be
possible (~200 atoms, possible?) for our system.

Dear colleagues,

I am sorry, if I repeat someone's recent question. Can you advise
the IR data bases on internet or good data collections in easy
available books? I am particularly interested in small organic and inorganic
molecules. Normally, I find them via citations in theoretical papers
in QCLDB, but it does not work all the time.

Thanks,

Anatoli Korkin

	In response to my recent post on determining polarizabilities,
I'll summarize with the following.  Thanks to all the respondents.

  The GAMESS program can calculate static linear polarizabilities and
hyperpolarizabilities with the runtype=FFIELD, or you can use runtype=TDHF
to get either static or time-dependent polarizabilities and
hyperpolarizabilities.  Or, when doing an analytic hessian calculation,
set POLAR=.TRUE. in the $CPHF group and you will get the static linear
polarizabilities.  All these methods are available at the ab initio
Hartree-Fock level, and I believe that FFIELD is also available with the
semiempirical methods (AM1, PM3, MNDO).  GAMESS can be obtained free of
charge (including source code) from Mike Schmidt:  mike@si.fi.ameslab.gov

Hope this helps.  Paul

See Miller (JACS *112*, 8533 (1990)) for such a method.  We've
implemented this in our ChemPlus QSAR Properties module, using additional 
parameters from Bondi (_J. Phys. Chem._ *68*, 441 (1964)) and Shannon and 
Prewitt (_Acta Cryst._ *B25*, 925 (1969)) to handle at least some 
organometallics.  For example, I optimized ferrocene with ZINDO/1 in 
HyperChem and calculated its polarizability with ChemPlus as 14.50 A^3.

It sounds like you may be looking for a fast, approximate method.  If,
however, you are willing to include ab initio approaches, the commercial
program PS-GVB put out by Schrodinger Inc. (http://www.psgvb.com) will
compute linear and first nonlinear polarizabilities at the HF level very
quickly.  Not quickly compared to evaluating an empirical analytical
function but quickly in comparison to the same level of theory found in
other commercial codes.  The program in general has been fine-tuned to
handle the complications which arise from transition metal calculations as
well (like in the initial guess of the wavefunction and range of effective
core potentials available).  You can also hand-pick a series of uniform
zero-frequency fields to apply to the molecule of interest to do
calculations of higher order polarizabilities via a finite field
procedure.

   For ab-initio HONDO, by Michel Dupuis, IBM, Kingston is best.  Also try
Gaussian or GAMESS. Semi-empirical try ZINDo, Mike Zerner, Quantum Theory
Project, Univ. of Florida. I am separately sending you my CNDO-EB-CHF +
data and output.

DGauss is a commericial density functional program that can compute 
static optical polarizabilities. It is a part of the UniChem molecular
modeling package that is offered by the Oxford Molecular Group. It will be
able to predict polarizabilities for organometallics as well as organics,
and, since it computes these using analytic 2nd derivatives, it will
compute them relatively efficiently.  If you'd interested, I can send
additional information regarding UniChem & DGauss.

    Gaussian 94 can compute polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilities at
HF, DFT and traditional correlation levels. For the HF and DFT methods
these are analytic, for MP2 and beyond they are a mixture of analytic and
numerical.

Dear Friends:

	We are looking for any way of Calculating "Formation Constant for 
Complexes" between Organic Macrocycles and Metal ions using Molecular 
Dynamics and Quantum Mechanics.

Please send me any kind of information about these problems. 
How can I get those Formation Constants???.

I will summarize all the answers.

Thanks a LOT!!!
