MOL2MOL 3.2 -- an easy-to-use file conversion program for the chemist.

Mol2Mol automatically converts many of the widely used file formats in
chemistry. Running under Windows, Mol2Mol helps you with the
conversion, manipulation and inspection of different molecular
structure files. Currently thirty different molecule file formats are
supported, as well as your own free format ASCII files. Mol2Mol
automatically recognizes the format of most of these files. The
program also helps in capturing co-ordinates from the big output files
of quantum chemistry programs. It possesses some chemical intelligence
for recognizing extended atom and bond types, chemical environments,
or adding hydrogens, which is necessary for converting simpler formats
to SYBYL, HyperChem, MacroModel, Cache, PCMODEL etc files.

Mol2Mol is more than just a file conversion system. It has a number of
features which offer outstanding ease-of-use to a researcher who needs
different tools for molecule inspection.

     *  Simple graphical window to inspect the input molecule with  
standard manipulations (translation, rotation, stereo modes etc.)
     *  Quick calculation of basic geometrical data (distances,
angles, planes, pyramidality, proton-proton and proton-methyl centroid
distances, distance from fitted planes, dihedral angle of planes/rings
etc)
     *  Ring puckering data of 5-9 membered rings
     *  Simple correction of atom or bond types
     *  Adding of hydrogens to X-ray or PDB files
     *  In the case of problems manual corrections of the input or
output file with an ASCII editor
     *  Phi-Psi data of proteins + Ramachandran plot 
     *  Conversion of a peptide to "backbone molecule"
     *  Splitting of multiple structures (e.g. peptides  with more
than one strands) to the individual molecules
     *  Calculation of sterimol parameters
     *  Batch calculation of geometric data from multiple (e.g. 
Macromodel) files and compering them with e.g. NOE data
     *  Batch conversion for files to similar type
     *  Text window to follow the conversion process.

For the time being, MOL2MOL can automatically recognize (R) and write
(W) the following co-ordinate file formats:

Since many of the above programs are also capable of communicating
with others or accepting different database formats (e.g. Protein Data
Bank, CSSR files), the effective range of MOL2MOL is even wider.
Several other programs not included in the above table use common
formats.

Subject: OVERLAP INTEGRAL AND SLATER FUNNC


1997 Nov 2

                          SLATER OVERLAP INTEGRALS
>From   E. Lewars
To     CCL

  Hello,

 There is some info' about overlap integrals and Slater functions that I am
finding it hard to dig out of the literature.  I should state at the outset
that _I know_:

that there are programs for calculating overlap integrals

that in most molecular quantum chem Gaussian functions, not Slater functions,
are used

that Mulliken et al published a long paper (J Chem Phys, 17 (1949) 1248-1267))
with recipes for calculating overlap integrals

that all kinds of tricks exist for "simplifying" the calculation of overlap
integrals
---------
OK, but what I want is simply this:

(1)  In the molecule H-He+ (yes, protonated helium) if the H nucleus has
     Cartesians H1(x_1, y_1, z_1) and the He nucleus He2(x_2, y_2, z_2),
     where the coordinates are in Angstroms (_not_ atomic units or Bohrs)

     and if we write

     for H:  phi_1 = a_1 exp{b_1[(x-x_1)^2 + (y-y_1)^2 + (z-z_1)^2]^1/2}
 and for He: phi_2 = a_2 exp{b_2[(x-x_2)^2 + (y-y_2)^2 + (z-z_2)^2]^1/2}

      (usually a is expressed in terms of zeta and pi, b = -zeta, and
      the variable is a radius vector r)
   QUESTION:  what are a_1 and b_1, as numbers, not Greek letters?
              what are a_2,and b_2 as  numbers, not Greek letters?
              (i.e a_1 = 0.5647 or whatever, etc etc (4 decimals).

    S_12 = the triple integral from 0--> infinity of phi_1.phi_2 dxdydz
    must = the correct overlap, if the six Cartesian coordinates are in
    Angstroms.  And of course integral of S_11 = S_22 = 1.

(2)  If (x_1, y_1, z_1) = (0, 0, 0) and (x_2, y_2, z_2) = (0, 0, 0.800),
     (0.800 Angstroms) what is S_12 (as a number, e.g 0.4273 or whatever)?

(3)  For (x_1, y_1, z_1) = (0, 0, 0) and (x_2, y_2, z_2) = (0, 0, d),
     is there a simple function S_12 = f(d) ? (for H, He?  for any two
     1s orbitals)?  Of course f will depend parametrically on the a's and b's.

  Thanks     E. Lewars
