summary sodalite cage



 Hi all,
 Some weeks ago, I posted the message :
 "I'm looking for coordinates of the sodalite cage and (if possible) other
 structural units in zeolite type systems for the use in quantum chemical
 calculations.  Is there anyone who could share this information with me ?
 I will summarize for the net."
 This were the answers I received (Sorry for the long interval between the
 posting and the summary) :

 Hi Frank,
 I have done some quantum chemical calculations on zeolite structural units
 (including the sodalite cage; J.-R. Hill and J. Sauer, J. Phys. Chem., 1994,
 98, 1238). Here are the DZP(Si,H)/TZP(O) optimized coordinates (the cage is
 terminated by H).

 The coordinates are in atomic units. I hope this helps.

 Hi frank,
 i can provide you with the cartesian coordinates of a sodalite cage saturated
 with OH groups and SCF/DZP optimized (see Hill, Sauer, JPC 1994, (98), 1238).
 so if you're interested e-mail me and i'll send you the coords.

 this is the adjacency matrix, it should be a truncated octaedron (please check
 it, I may have mistyped some item(s) !). This graph represents only the T
 atoms connectivity.

 Hi,
         Enclosed you will find a list of cartesian coordinates for the
 sodalite unit cell. There are 12 Si and 24 O atoms in the cubic unit cell with
 a=8.91angstroms. The first 12 refer to the Si atoms( charge of +4) and the
 nnext 24 to oxygens. Hope this helps.
