Subject: SCRF program


Dear Netters,

I am interested in SCRF programming. The SCRF calculations require 
molecular volume, using Onsager model. Can anybody tell me about an 
independent program which calculate only molecular volume 
at Hartree-Fock level?

Thanks to all that answered.

Hi everybody,

Could some kind soul on the net with access to Mopac93 *Rev. 2*
run a short (less than a minite on anything faster than i486-66) 
test job for me?

Please answer by e-mail, and my apologies to everyone who expected
a real QC question ;-)

Regards,

Not the forcefields itself contain the dihedral driver, but the
program & interface, in which the MM procedure has been implanted and realized.

In HyperChem there is no dihedral driver, but you can yourself 
"program" it by creating a script file. Consult the manual of HyperChem.
It seems to be difficult only the first time.

Subject: G94 basis set problem


Dear CCL,

I got the following problem when using Gaussian 94 (rev. D.4). Doing some
calculations with an in house defined basis set (for Hg) I got the
following message (after one and half hour of CPU on our R10000 based
POWER Challenge):

 **** Fatal Problem: The largest alpha MO coeffient is  0.11335235D+04

 Error termination via Lnk1e in /packages/run/g94_D4/g94/l801.exe.

The calculation was single point SCF MP2=Full. As the guess is that there
is some problem with the check on linear dependency of the defined basis,
I would like to ask you for any option/parametr how to reduce the internal 
cutoff values for this case. 

Any help will be really appreciated.

Thank you very much in advance.

  Dear Ludek,
  In the route line (#P), include IOP(8/11=1)
  This will give a warning about large eigenvalues but not crash
 the run.

    Best wishes,

Journal Announcement "Philosophy of Chemistry"!

The former Bulletin of the German Working Group "Philosophy and
Chemistry" has been extended to an online journal published at the
University of Karlsruhe, Germany:

HYLE. An International Journal for the Philosophy of Chemistry
        http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de/~philosophie/hyle.html

HYLE is dedicated to all philosophical aspects of chemistry. Detailed
informations concerning scientific concept, subscription, and
contributing to HYLE are available on the homepage.
The former issues (1.1995, 2.1996) as well as a preview of 3.1997 are
available.
There is also a Collected Bibliography "Philosophy of Chemistry" (more
than 1500 titles!) including articles on the history of theories, ideas,
and concepts of chemistry.
Web sites containing related links, new publications, and current
activities in the philosophy of chemistry are in progress. (Please mail
anything of interest to me).

Regards,
                Joachim Schummer

There IS a reference that specifically addresses this in a variety of contexts 
(I know because I wrote it!):

Holder, A. J.; Evleth, E. M. in Modeling the Hydrogen Bond; 
Smith, D. A.;  American Chemical Society, Washington, DC, 
1994; pp 113.
