By James R. Cheeseman and Æleen Frisch Introduction NMR chemical shifts are an important tool in characterizing molecular systems and structures. Accordingly, predicting NMR spectra is an essential feature of computational chemistry software. In this article,...
One of the most important goals of a physical chemistry course is getting students to understand the relationship between a substances molecular structure and its physical properties. Laboratory experiments and exercises can serve an important role in conveying this...
Technical Note: Gaussian’s Configuration Interaction with single excitations method (CI-Singles) enables it to compute excited state energies and gradients. This method may be used to predict excited state structures, UV/visible spectra, adiabatic excitation...
Technical Note: The Synchronous Transit-Guided Quasi-Newton (STQN) Method, developed by H. B. Schlegel and coworkers [Peng93], uses a linear synchronous transit or quadratic synchronous transit approach to get closer to the quadratic region around the transition state...
This technical note discusses the procedure for transforming the UV/Visible numeric data computed by Gaussian into plots that are similar to what is observed experimentally. It is designed for people who want to understand how GaussView generates its UV/Visible plots...
