Dear Netters:

I would appreciate some information regarding the performance of a 
pentium-PRO 200 MHz processors compared with pentium 166MHz and pentium 
200 MHz. In particular we are interested in running M.D. and ab-initio 
codes in fortran under linux.

Thank you very much,
Valeria.

   (b) Fermi contact analysis (atomic units)
   generated by GAUSSIAN-94 program?

2. Is it possible to get (a) from (b)?

Dear CCL members,

a few days ago I posted the following message:

> I am looking for an extended gaussian basis set for Pd. Any hint? I
> already checked the EMSL GAUSSIAN BASIS SET repository, but
> unfortunately with no success.


Here is a summary of the replies I got.

Thanks to Valentin P. Ananikov, John Waite, Kai-hua Xiang, Nathalie
Godbout, and Mariusz Klobukowski.

Dear Gabriele,

You may look to the MOLPRO homepage : http://tcpc.bham.ac.uk/molpro/

and search MOLPRO basis set library:
              http://tcpc.bham.ac.uk/molpro/basisform.html


I am also interesting in extended basis sets for Pd and Pt, please
send me the useful information obtained or prepare a summary to CCL.

best wishes,
Valentin.

 Hi Gabriele,
   Where is the EMSL Gaussian Basis Set Repository, from where can I get
 information about it - finding and submitting basis sets?

   Below is an optimized Pd triple zeta set:

Bonjour Gabriele,

  Il existe une base de type DZVP pour le
palladium dans la banque de donnee EMSL. Je ne
sais pas si elle te sera utile puisque je ne sais
pas a quel niveau de theorie tu comptes faire le
calcul. Celle dont je te parle a ete optimisee dans 
le formalisme de la theorie de la fonctionnelle de la
densite au niveau LSD (Local Spin Density). Bien qu'elle
soit de type DZVP, tu pourrais la decontracter pour tes
besoins et en faire une TZVP, QZVP etc. N'hesite pas
a me contacter a nouveau si tu as d'autres questions.

Nathalie Godbout

Hi!

I think the debate between delocalised and distributed comes up to start
with we were discussing charges systems and charge delocalisation.  C6H6
and C6H12 are not charged and have very little partial charge distribution
and so delocalisation and not shift the charge about.

It is the migration of charge via delocalisation that was of interest, and
thus delocalisation was correct :-)

Best wishes


Alex

I have looked at babel for this conversion but it only seems to read
single conformers from an out file...not all conformers as desired.

Thanks for the suggestion though.

Hi,

Following this, the answers I got to the questions stated below.
Thank you very much to all who responded.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) I understand that RMS and RRMS measure the agreement of the fitting 
procedure. But, are they internal to each method (MK, CHELP or CHELPG) or 
can they be compared? I mean, if I calculate ESP fitted charges with the 
three methods mentioned, can I assume that the best fit is the one with 
the lowest RMS?

(2) Does it make any sense to constrain the ESP calculated charges to fit the 
dipole moment for CHARGED molecules?
I am not sure about it, since the dipole moment value depends on the 
choice of origin for non-neutral molecules.

Thanks a lot for your help

Pablo

That is no problem, as long as you use the same origin consistently.
On the other hand, you normally don't have to constrain the dipole,
because it gets reproduced very well from the ESP fit. Even the
total charge normally gets reproduced rather well - the reason for
constraining it that it is often important to reproduce it exactly,
to ensure overall charge neutrality of a system.

No answer to your question, but while we're on the subject:

I'm keen to find ways of interpreting dipole moment of a series of 
anions, in conjunction with looking at the way a series of carboxylate
bioisosteres interact with a charged or strongly polar receptor of
unknown structure. I know the *value* depends on the choice of origin, 
but what about the *direction* of the dipole vector? Can this be used 
as an indicator of the way in which an anion will prefer to align in 
a local field, or does it too depend on coordinate choice?

Also, are there well-established experimental techniques for measuring 
dipole direction, as opposed to value?

Thanks,

Jeremy

Dear Pablo:
	It would not be correct to blindly assume that PD charges
with the lowest rms are best.  The main reason is the differing
choices of grids for the MEP.  Generally the rms (and rrms) is higher
if grid points are chosen closer to the molecule.

Subject: Fitted charges

Hola! Pablo:

To answer your to questions regarding ESP charges, first the `RMSD' re-
flects  the ability of the fitted charges  to reproduce the surrounding
electrostatic potentials. It is nothing else than the functional:

                                     2  1/2
{ 1/N Sum [ V(SCF) - Sum (q_i/r_pi) ]  }
       p              i

If your potential can be easily fitted by point charges,  than the RMSD
will be rather small. If, however,  there is a non-negligible contribu-
tion of atomic moments of higher orders, than the RMSD will increase.

Second,  constraining the fit to reproduce the dipole of a charged spe-
cies does not make sense.  For such species,  the dipole moment depends
on the orientation of the system. Besides and by and large, I never saw
any advantage to add such constraints. It unnecessarily biases your fit
which, if your potential is evaluated correctly, should be okay without
any other constraint than the simple q_total - Sum q_i = 0.
                                                i

You can look at a few refs. from us, which cover the above:

Hi,

In my education we had a topic about Neural Networks/AI. I've two papers of it, however I'haven't read it for a long time. But it helped me started, so I think it will help you too.

Smits et.al, Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems, 22 (1994) 165-189.
De Weijer et.al., Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems, 16 (1992), 77-86.

The title of the first article (by Smits et.al) is:
"Using artificial neural networks for solving chemical problems, Part 1 Multi-layer feed-forward networks"

The title of the second is:
"Neural Networks used as soft-modelling technique for quantitave description of the relation between physical structure and mechanical properties of (ethylene terephtalate) yarns.

Furthermore the analytical chemistry department of our university works on neural networks applied to (analytical) chemical problems. I suggest to look at their WWW-pages (http://www-cac.sci.kun.nl/cac/).

I hope this is helpful.

Greetings

Niels

Here's what's on my bookshelf, though it may be out of date: 

Winston, P.H. "Artificial Intelligence, 2nd ed", 1984, Addison-Wesley.

Tanimoto, S.L. "The Elements of Artificial Intelligence", 1987, Computer Science Press.

Rumelhart, D.E., and McClelland, J.L. "Parallel Distributed Processing: Explorations into the Microstructure of Cognition. Vol 1: Foundations. Vol 2: Psychological and Biological Models", 1986, MIT Press.

The first two are probably the better ones for background information, though they will not be up-to-date on available software.

Dear Gert Kruger,

I don't know any review articles, but I am a bit used to AI from
studying computer science. The main areas in AI are:

expert systems (mycin - medical diagnosis)
knowledge representation (frames, scripts)
natural language understanding (computer linguistics, weizenbaums eliza)
cognitive science (society of mind:marvin minsky)
automated theorem proovers (logic programming, prolog)
computer chess
(neural networks and genetic algorithms)


I don't know specific software (depends on application area) but the
common programming languages are LISP,PROLOG and SMALLTALK. These
languages focus on symbolic computation instead of numeric
computation. Lisp programs can modify themselves since there is no
distinction between program and data (all lists). A key word is object
oriented programing (classes instances).

I think the philosophy of AI is to model human thinking and to see
information processing as symbol manipulation rather than number
crunching. A "typical" AI program is one where the programer cannot
predict its behavior or explain what it is doing right now. This is
because AI programming is more telling how to do things than what to
do. 

Small anekdote:

There is a project called psych or so. A program is fed with a lot of
everyday information and is supposed to develop a kind of "common
sense". It has been said that the program asked the "instructors"
surprising questions. Silly questions on the first glance, nobody
could explain how the program generated this question and from what
data. Only when the program had to explain why it is a question for it
than the instructors had to admit that it was logical (but still silly).

so much for AI in a nutshell

Regards,

Dear Gert,

This is what I understood:

You have one molecule and associated experimental data
(e.g. spectra). Then you look for other molecules in databases (also
associated spectra) that correlate best (kind of similarity).

To do this on a symbolic level, you have to extract features from the
continues spectra. Then you need rules that deduce a classification
>from the features. If you can both extract features and rules than you
can use Prolog to proove the theorem that a molecule is of a specific
type.

Or you use neural nets to automatically (and implicitly) detect
features and rules. Then you need a training set of examples. You need
pairs of structures with a known correlation or similarity. After
training the net you can feed your target molecule and (one after
another) the database molecules to get a similarity value. 

Unfortunately, this is not very related to my work, so I cannot
provide you with literature or software hints. But if you want to try
neural nets, our departement developed the SNNS (Stuttgart neural net
simulator) that is publicly available. The homepage of my collegue
contains a link to download it:

Hi everybody, 

	I am looking for the screening constants of SLATER ORBITALS for
a Double Zeta , Triple Zeta and may be for a more extended atomic 
basis set. 

							Thankx.

Subject: global energy minimum structures of small molecules



Dear Netters,

I look for GLOBAL ENERGY MINIMUM structures of small molecules. I want
to build them from coordinates or dihedral angles. By small I mean
about the size of met-enkephaline (5 residues) or bigger. I am not
interested in experimental structures (xray,nmr) but in structures
generated by ENERGY MINIMIZATION (any method) of empirical,
semiempirical or higher level force fields.

I am especially interested in vacuum calculations (no solvent or
special dielectricity constant) preferably using the AMBER force
field. I am most interested in peptides but also in other kinds of
small molecules.

Thanx for your time,

--

Subject: HELP: setting up Alpha workstation farm






Hello, all.

This question is addressed to people (sysadmins, &c.) with experience
setting up Alpha workstations for a computational chemistry
laboratory.

Our lab decided to purchase several new workstations, including 4
Alpha 500/500 clones.  Through our university, we can get a special
deal on Digital UNIX software (not including the DEC Base OS).  The
catch is that no one in our lab has any experience whatsoever with
setting up an Alpha system, or with DEC products in general; in
particular, we don't know what specific software items are essential
or desirable for the kind of work we do here.  Since we write our own
code, we will need typical programming tools (C and Fortran90
compilers, debuggers, lint, make, profiler, &c.), but looking at the
list of software we have (cf. below), it is not always readily
apparent what items correspond to these needs.

We could try to decipher the meaning in Digitalese of names such as
"Cohesion Team/SEE Integ UNIX AXP", but we fear that, without
first-hand experience with this software line, there would be a
significant likelihood that we would fail to recognize an item that we
really should have.  (It has happened all-to-often to us in the past
that we have purchased software or hardware that was missing some
important component--e.g. CD ROM--, because we hadn't realized that it
was, in fact, an option; we call it "the letter q for the keyboard is
an extra option" phenomenon).

Hence, we think it is best to get the advice of those CCL readers who
have faced a similar situation.  We would appreciate it greatly if
someone could pick out from the list below the software items we would
need or want to have in a computational chemistry lab.  (A rough
classification of these items into "essential" and "desirable" would
be very useful, too.)

To minimize duplicated efforts, please post your replies.  Your help
is greatly appreciated.

Subject: Product Distributions for Barrierless Reactions



Oh Wise Ones,

    I am studying the breakup of small molecules that dissociate without
any reaction barrier beyond the intrinsic energy difference between reactant
and product.

   Is there any software available that would compute the number of quantum
states accessible with specified mass, energy, and moments of intertia?

						Thanks,
						Mark

Subject: Constraints in MOPAC


How does one constrain a dihedral angle during geometry optimization in
MOPAC 93? I am aware of PATH calculations in which a dihedral can be
changed and the geometry optimized at intervals of the reaction coordinate.
Is there a way to constrain a dihedral when not doing PATH calculations? If
so, is there a way to change the value of the constraining force?

Hello,
As a nascent computational chemist and mere undergraduate, I have
questions that may seem too simple for such an august audience.
However, I shall beg your indulgence and ask anyway.
As part of my senior thesis, I am attempting to calculate the effect
of external electric fields on the radiative transition probabilities
of Nitrogen gas. I know that these probabilities are just the square
of the transition dipole moment.
My questions are:
1. In GAMESS, what does "dipole length" and "dipole velocity",
calculated by "$TRANST", actually mean? Are either one of these the
transition dipole moment used to find the probability?

2. What are the arguments of "$VEC1"? I studied the example provided
with GAMESS on CI transition moments for water, and I cannot figure
out what the numbers represent.

3. Under the "$CIDRT1" keyword, how do I decide on the value of NFZC,
NDOC and NVAL?

I very much appreciate your time and any assistance you can offer.

Thanks in advance,
Lawrence Watts

Dear netters:

Earlier today I posted a question that included:

   Date: Wed, 19 Feb 1997 13:09:20 -0500
   From: berriz@chasma.harvard.edu (Gabriel Berriz)

   ...

   We would appreciate it greatly if someone could pick out from the
   list below the software items we would need or want to have in a
   computational chemistry lab.  (A rough classification of these
   items into "essential" and "desirable" would be very useful, too.)

   ...

Since then I learned that we do not have the choice I thought we had
(i.e. the list I posted is a non-severable software suite; we can get
either all or none of it).  Hence my earlier question is superfluous.
Please disregard it.  My sincere apologies to those who took the time
to reply.

Subject: ECPs in DFT


Hi everybody,

I was thinking about the use of effective core potentials
(ECPs, also called pseudopotentials -- I had posted a
question and summary about the difference between
these two terms a while ago in the CCL), and their
application in density functional theory (DFT).

   Specifically, the usual ECPs are derived using
Hartree-Fock (HF) type methods. Recently, one can see
them being used in DFT applications, appareantly with
success (e.g., Martin Kaupp's work). On a purely
theoretical ground, however, one would assume that
ECPs for DFT should be derived with a DFT based
method. This could be pushed even further by making
a separate ECP for each new functional in DFT.
   Has anybody done something like this? Are there any
real, practical differences between HF-derived and DFT-derived
ECPs when they are applied in DFT calculations
(what does this do for geometries, energetics etc.)?

   I would appreciate references, but also any kind
of experience, published or unpublished. I will
summarize to the list if I get any answers.

Thanx, Georg

Dear all,

I have made a minor modification to Milan Hadoscek's xvibs
program so it can now properly parses G94 output files.

xvibs is a program to extract normal modes from
Gaussian output and creates an Xmol input file for animation.

The latest version of xvibs is available from
ftp://www.ccl.net/pub/chemistry/software/SOURCES/C/xvibs

>From memory, they are two different approximations to the transition
dipole moment. Time-dependent perturbation theory leads to an integral of
the operator r(vector), hence "length". This can be transformed (by
integration by parts) into an integral of the momentum operator del, 
referred to as velocity in this context. 

The two integrals are equal for exact wavefunctions of the two states. For
computed approximate wave functions, they are not equal and the difference
between the two may give an idea of the accuracy of the moment.

check out Scheraga's diffusion equation method. One of the more interesting things I've seen in a long time. Unfortunately, I think its only implemented on lower level force fields.

	Yes, to my limited knowledge, at least Hay et. al. has done this
sometime ago. I don't remember the exact reference, somewhere in JCP(or
JPC, sorry!) '96 or '95. Search for author index. Roughly their results
showed that original ECP still give quite reliable results when used with
DFT. Yet indeed, they found some strange behavior as well. I don't know if
any people has persued the issue systematically later on, but I guess it's
certainly worth doing, since DFT stuff are more and more popular in
transition metal studies. 

	Hope this is helpful somehow. Good luck.
