It may be of interest that there are a number of results of Weniger and
Meissner regarding this type of anharmonic oscillator that are online
available via our server at
 
http://www.chemie.uni-regensburg.de/preprint.html

These are based on perturbation theory (Weniger. Beware: the usual
perturbation series as sketched in one of the responses in the summary
is strongly divergent. This, however, does not mean that it is useless.
The problems can be handled.) and the generalized Bloch equation that
can be solved iteratively (Meissner). 

There is also a poster of Meissner at ECCC3 ---accessible via
http://hackberry.chem.niu.edu:8000
http://www.chemie.uni-regensburg.de:8000 (mirror) --- 
that summarizes some of his results.

Subject: CCL: Summary:Atoms In Molecules for transition metal complexes
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit


Dear CCLers

Thank you to all who have helped me with their comments, suggestions and 
literature citations concerning Atoms In Molecules of Transition Metals.

Before I come to the summary, I must apologize for my statement, that the
AIM command in G94 cannot handle d functions -- of course it can as Douglas Fox
from Gaussian Inc. and Pierre J.-L. Plourde from the Dalhousie University,
Halifax correctly stated. To my knowledge it just cannot handle f functions 
which may be present in basis sets for TM's.

The summary follows

Magnus Kessler

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

SUMMARY:
The question was:

Dear CCLer's

I would like to do a bonding analysis with Bader's "atoms in molecules"
(AIM) concept on transition metal complexes. Two questions arise:

1. Which software is capable to do such an analysis. (According to the
   manual, AIM in G94 Rev. B3 cannot handle d-electrons; BTW the
   AIM functionality seems not to be implemented in G94 Rev. B3)

2. Has anyone made any experience with AIM analysis on transition
   metals?

Any information will be greatly appreciated

Thanks a lot in advance


Magnus Kessler


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

From Douglas J. Fox:

   The AIM implementation in G94 can handle s, p and d functions and this
is as documented in the User's Reference.  I would be curious what page
of the manual you found the comment that lead you to believe that d functions
could not be dealt with.

   The AIM functionality was not present in Rev. B.3 (...)
[but in newer versions, MK]

   I am not aware of much work with AIM and transition metals.  These
methods are numerically quite delicate but they are quite insensitive
to the nature of the underlying elements so if there were not numerical
problems I expect they will work quite well.

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

From Pierre J.-L. Plourde:

        According to version 5.0 (Jan 95) of the G94 manual, G94's
implementation of AIM can handle s, p and d functions, but not f or
higher.  Having done AIM calculations on a couple of systems, I know it is
implemented in G94 Rev B.2, and I would assume it is as well in B.3,
though I may be wrong on that count.

From Carles Bo:
 
 For the latest AIM program version ask Prof. Bader group. You can reach
them from  http://www.chemistry.mcmaster.ca/faculty/bader/

 I don't know if G94 can do AIM analysis, but you can produce
 an WFN file which is the input to Bader programs.


2. Has anyone made any experience with AIM analysis on transition
 metals?

   We have analyzed many molecules containing transition metals.
   If our experience can help you, don't doubt to contact me.

From Fernando Martin:

I am a pHD student of professor Bader and it was brought to my attention
that you are having trouble doing an AIM assessment of transition metals.
You seem to be using the routines in g94. Unfortunaltely they seem to be
limited in what they can do and sometimes don't even work. I am also not
sure by what you mean as "bonding analysis". Do you want to find the
critical points, integrate for atomic properties, ...?. Let me know in
more detail what you are up to. The students that have circulated through
this lab have created routines that might be of help to you, these are
free of cost, all we need is an e-mail address to send them to. If you
are interested in the programs, let me know.

From Ian Bytheway:

I would suggest that you get hold of either the AIMPAC suite of programs
from Prof Bader (bader@mcmail.cis.mcmaster.ca), or MORPHY from
Dr Paul Popelier (pla@umist.ac.uk). I use MORPHY to locate critical points
in rho and del2rho, as well as to produce plots. The proaim part of AIMPAC
is useful for calculating integrated atomic charges, although I believe a
soon-to-be-released version of MORPHY will do this.

Using either of these packages requires a wfn file, which can be generated
from a g94 run with output=psi specified, and a file name at the end of the
input (see the manual for specific details).

I've appended a list of papers of mine which you might find interesting
and relevant. Some deal with AIM analyses exclusively, while others have
AIM as only a small part of the overall study.

I hope this information is of some use, please feel free to contact me
again if you'd like more info!

From Preston J. MacDougall:

   I did my Ph.D. with Richard Bader, and part of my research involved
transition metal complexes.  My thesis was not published, but I copies
available.  Some later work was published in Can. J. Chem., vol. 67,
p. 1842 (1989), and in Trans. Amer. Cryst. Assoc., vol. 26, p. 105 (1990)
(Many crystallographers get these Transactions).
   Others have performed AIM studies of transition metal complexes.
M. B. Hall, G. Frenking, M. Benard, C. Bo, are some who have published
interesting papers using AIM on a wide range of systems.  Richard Bader
has recently published some papers in Inorg. Chem. concerning transition-
metal complexes.
   About software, Professor Bader distributes the programs that run off
of .wfn files that all recent Gaussian versions output (since G92).
Including d functions (f functions are probably handled by the software
that Bader distributes).  I have forwarded your posting to his group,
they usually respond quickly.
   Good luck, and I'm sure you will find the analysis very helpful in
your studies!

Dear CCLers

I have calculated the energy (HF) of a set of protonated molecules and compared
them with the ones of non protonated species. After inclusion of vibrational
and thermal corrections you can get a figure which can be refered as 'proton
affinity' of the studied molecule. I want to know if there is any relationship
between this proton affinity and pKa of the molecule. Any comment in this
regard will be appreciated.

Thanx in advance

Hi Jerry, this is a subject that has been pursued only recently.
We have done some work; so far mainly on the ligands of transition
metal complexes and on 77Se (let me know if you need these references). We have
one paper in print in Int.J.QuantumChem.1996 that contains calculations
on M(C))6 and MO4n-, M=Cr,Mo,W, among others.
   Further, please look for papers by Michael Buhl (or Buehl, it
is an "Umlaut u" that my ASCII can't do), he did quite a lot
an metal NMR recently, e.g. Helvetica Chimica Acta 1996,79,742 (57Fe) or
Organometallics 1996,91,778 (91Zr).
   Finally, a good place to look are the annual reviews on NMR
calculations by C.Jameson, in Specialist Reports on NMR Spectroscopy,
edited by G.A.Webb, Royal Society, London, (annually 1980 - ...).

Please summarize your findings to the list!

Yours, Georg

Dear natters,

I need to get the movements of the different vibrations
in the internal coordinates representation.
Gaussian 94 gives me the movements in the cartesian
coordinates.

Does anyone know how can I get the vibrations in internal
coordinates representation from Gaussian 94.

Thanks in advance

Avital

A recommended comercial alternative to XFree86 is XInside.
You can get more information about it at

info@xinside.com, or 
http://www.xinside.com

You may also search for information about comercial application for Linux
or SCO Unix (you can run such applications by means of the adequate
emulator, for example iBCS2) reading the Comercial-HOWTO document ( I don't
remember exactly its location, but you may search for it at Excite engine).

Good luck!

In Wilson's GF-matrix formalism internal coordinate displacements (R) are
approximated as linear combinations of their Cartesian counterparts (x):

     R=Bx

where is the Wilson's B-matrix. It is just a matrix-vector multiplication,
but you need B-matrix first. If you are a programmer consult "Molecular
Vibrations" by E.B. Wilson, J.C. Decius and P.C. Cross for definitions
and equations. If not, there are normal mode analysis programs that
can compute B-matrices from known structure of molecules (e.g., well known
GMAT by Schachtschneider). A few years ago I wrote such a program called
RAMVIB; I am going to deposit it in CCL software archives pretty soon.
I am no expert in Gaussian 94, maybe there is an option to compute B-matrix.

Wishing you good luck,

Subject: CCL needs your input NOW!!!



Dear Netters,

The good news is that we have full time person to work on the CCL
improvement and Web site. David Tinapple joins the CCL staff
on Monday, Nov. 25. He has substantial Web authoring experience
in commercial, as well as, non-profit sector. He participated in
creating several multimedia CD-ROMs, and we are told that he has
a good sense of knowing where simplicity meats elegance in the
Web site development. We already have great plans, and once he
goes through the megabytes of stuff in CCL archives, and gets
over the new hire red tape, we will see things happening faster.

We know it, and you know it that CCL discussions get sometimes
too broad for some subscribers. And beside, if we asked you what
is computational chemistry, we would get a lot of different
answers. So for those of you who are interested only in the
subset of CCL messages on a given topic, we want to provide
an automatic filter.

How it will work?
=================
The current list stays as it is for those who want it this way.
Everybody sends messages to the normal address:
chemistry@www.ccl.net. The text of incoming message is analyzed
by the software for contents, and tagged according to the
contents. It may happen that the message will belong to several
subjects. For example, the message dealing with: "The basis set
dependence of Force Field parameters for Molecular Mechanics
derived with Density Functional approaches" may belong to many
subjects, e.g., Molecular Mechanics, Density Functional Methods,
Basis Sets, Quantum Chemistry. The example also shows that
subjects chosen need not be "orthogonal", and can overlap
a great deal, or even be embedded within other subject.

Once we are finished, we will provide a new signup form for
the CCL and you will be able to migrate from the "everything"
CCL to a subject oriented delivery (we may also provide other
options like: the maximum file size for the message, the
"This subject but only if together with that subject",
and others). Of course you will be able to choose as many
subjects as you want. And even if message belongs to several
subjects you belong to, you will only get one message.

What we need from you?
======================
Vote!!! That is, tell us which subjects you would choose for
yourself. and which you do not want to see ever {:-)} ("Never
say never again"). Fill in the form at:

      http://www.ccl.net/ccl/ccl-subjects.html

or simply send a message to jkl@ccl.net (Jan Labanowski) with
subjects which you would be personally interested in receiving,
and which subjects you would not like to see. We need your
initial response to decide how many subjects we want to
implement. WE NEED YOUR MASSIVE RESPONSE to really help us in
making rational choices. So please, participate. BUT PLEASE SEND 
COMMUNICATIONS ABOUT IT TO jkl@ccl.net rather than the list.
PLEASE. This survey at
    http://www.ccl.net/ccl/ccl-subjects.html
will only take you a minute or so to answer unless you are my
type, i.e., "paralysis of analysis"). But do not be pedantic,
since we need general guidance at this time. Save your
deliberations for the moment when we will ask you to make the
actual choice.


How we will approach the problem?
=================================
While it looks simple, it is not. So if you know how such
things are done let us know (jkl@ccl.net). We could use the
sophisticated stuff spooks use with FFT and the like. But we
are considering the following general approach. Each subject
will be defined as a series of keywords (or actually flexible
matches, called regular expressions in UNIX). These keywords
will be checked against the text of the message to qualify
message as belonging  to a given subject. There also has to be
some ranking mechanism, and keywords may be assigned different
weight ("importance"). The proximity of other words can also be
taken into account.

Of course, one could use a training set of past messages in CCL
archives, assign subjects to them and run neural net stuff on
them. While we do not rule out this approach, we will probably
do it in a more deterministic way to be able to use new
buzzwords which appear every month to add to the keywords list.

After we decide on subjects, we will create a Web form, and you
will be asked again for help. This time to provide us with
keywords typical for a given subject. We will also go through
archives and assign past messages to subjects, split messages
to words and rank the frequency of words in a given subject.
While we are sure that "and", "molecule", etc. will be the
leaders, we hope to find also some specific words which occur
within subjects.

Then we will do the software. The software has to be smart and
especially distribution has to be well optimized. We also need
to think about messages which are outside the scope of any field
(did not rank high enough) -- we may simply handle them by hand
and improve our keyword lists. We will also provide a way for
the authors to assign their messages to the subjects, but we do
not want to enforce it. And beside, who knows what will show up 
in the process of doing this. But we think that it may be a nice
and needed tool once we can make it work. If it works well
enough, we may want to make it available, so you can use it as
a filter for your other mailing lists and newsgroups. But do
not be impatient as it will take some time to create it.

So please help us (and help yourself too, in the process).

Hello List folks-
Please excuse me if I appear as too much of a dullard by asking this.

I am doing a number of geometry optimizations using Gaussian94.  I would
like to visualize the results of these files graphically within
hyperchem.  As such, I need a file conversion program to convert the
output from the G94 job to a hyperchem *.hin file.  I have tried BABEL
and it does not work with G94 (it wants to give me a multistructure
answer when all I want is the final result).  I would prefer an easily
downloaded free-ware program, but commercial program information would
also be appreciated.  Any assistance that can be provided will be most
appreciated.  

Please reply to my email directly as I do not have access to the list.

Hi Robert,

It is easy problem. You do not need a special program, because "newzmat"
(read gaussian manual) can convert your z-matrix into pdb format. Hyperchem
can read it. You only need to change the extention "pdb" into "ent". 
For some reasons pdb format files in Hyperchem have the extention "ent".


regards,

Anatoli Korkin
