CCL:G: Transition state optimization with Gaussian 03 and frozen atoms



Yes, you can freeze the geometry by adding 'constants' to the end of the input file. For example:

# HF/6-31G(d) Opt Test
Partial optimization for water
0 1
O
H1 O R
H2 O R H1 A
Variables:
R 1.0
Constants:
A 105.4

Hello. I would like to optimize the transition state of a reaction on a
metal cluster. I want to freeze the cluster geometry. Is this possible
with Gaussian 03? It doesn't appear to work with the QST2 and QST3
methods.
