I need to explain the differences in a diffusion zone of some liquids on a solid surface, so my first idea was to look at the differences in their viscosities. As the only data that I have for the compounds was the molecular weight and their structure my idea was to estimate viscosities (if possible). If there are any useful suggestions on the subject they will be VERY welcome.

Dear All,
Currently, I preform geometry optimization of Dinuclear metal complex (two = Cu atoms + 100 of H, C, N and O atoms)in order to calculate thermodynamic p= arameters. I use B3LYP/mixed basis set; 6-311g(d,p)for H, C, N and O atoms = and LANL2DZ for Cu. I use 8 cores for this job. This job consumed long time= ; about 20 days and not finished so far. I have two questions:

1- Is normal for such job to take this long time?
2- Is this basis set is good to calculate the thermodynamic parameters?
3- Is there a model chemistry or a method work well but with little time?
By the way the H-atoms are not important, so I can use 6-311g without polar= ization functions.

Your suggestion would be appreciated
Thanks in advance,
C.C.G

Dear CCL

I have recently been trying to calculate the barrier heights for a reaction= between a aldehyde radical and double bond.

When i look at the thermochemistry data for the transition state i'm no= t entirly sure how to go about taking into consideration various correction= s, zero-point etc.

I have searched the CCl site, internet and read the gaussian thermochemistr= y white paper but still not sure how to go about finding the answer.

If anybody has experience in these matters and could point me in the right = direction i would be very grateful.

Many thanks in advance

He simply does not know the requirements for G03 temperature input. While I would like to think have a solid background in all aspects of physical chemistry, I often struggle with the rigid requirements of program input parameters.
