I can find a transition state for C5H5 + O2. If I then do an IRC calculation you can see a saddle point for the transition state between C5H5+O2 -> C5H5O2. If I then run a Scan job using opt=z-matrix slowly increasing the O-C bond length, between the C5H5 and the O2. A saddle point is also shown, with a structure very similar to the Transition State. However with OH/HO2 I can not find a Transition State. Also if I run a Scan job using opt=z-matrix slowly increasing the O-C bond length no saddle point is shown. Presumably there is no barrier for these reactions ? Therefore no transition state as there is "no saddle point where there is a minimum in all dimensions but one" ? 1. Why is there a transition state for the first case but not the others ? Is it because the Oxygen has a lower heat of formation and is more stable than OH and HO2 radicals and therefore the saddle point is representing the disruption of the stable Oxygen molecule rather than anything to do with the C5H5 ring ? 2. What would be the best way to stop me wasting time looking for transition states for reactions without a barrier. Would a opt=z-matrix scan at along the relevant bond/motion to check for a barrier be a good idea ? Or should my chemistry just be better ?

Writing the WFN file is controlled by the OUT=WFN keyword, which specifies that a WFN file is to be written out to the file name specified in the com file after the coordinate section. Did you remember to terminate the com file with the name of the WFN file to be written out? For example... ...coordinate section... test.wfn This will write out a test.wfn file. If you check the end of your log file (after the chk punch file and just before the random quotation) you will see something like: Writing a WFN file to test.wfn. If you didn't specify a WFN file name to write to, this will look like: Writing a WFN file to . because there was nowhere to write the WFN file to and g03 probably dumped your wfn to /dev/null! N.

It was dormant for a while but has a deserved name recognition and high search engine ranking: http://asdn.net/ We are looking for partners among professionals (professors and teachers) and students, on a regular basis or occasionally, who are interested in creating some "pages" or "directories", such as "chemistry", "physics", "life sciences", "energy", "electronics", etc., where different aspects of fundamentals or applications of atomistics are addressed. Contributions of original educational materials or references to useful materials on the Internet are equally acceptable. All materials that are incorporated into the ASDN.NET portal will be dully credited to the respective authors and links to the original or personal pages will be included. If needed, pages acknowledging author's work or author personal page or resume can be also housed on the ASDN.NET. Formal collaboration, like applying for joint grant proposals, is also an option when a suitable call for proposals is available, along with an adequate level of expertise and commitment.
