TA Schedule • Administrative duties • Gaussian pre-lab • Gaussian lab session
Logging on to the PC • The power switch is behind the monitor; on the right side. Username: user Password: user2009 • Start Vmware View Client • Server 155.69.57.94 • Uncheck “SSL”
CBC316 Expt 1 (Gaussian) • Please do your pre-lab questions. • You will not be able to proceed with the experiment if you have not read through the manual, and done your pre-lab. • Google and Wikipedia are useful tools
CBC316 Expt 1 (Gaussian) • Points to note: • Ensure you key in the input file correctly • Blank spaces and blank lines ARE important • Do not confuse ‘0’ (zero) with ‘O’ (big letter O); or ‘1’ (one) with ‘l’ (small letter l) • Integers and floating point numbers are differentie. ‘1’ is not equal to ‘1.0’
CBC316 Expt 1 (Gaussian) • Points to note: • Section 4 part 2 (p16) • Take note of the 2 blank lines • Section 4 part 3 (p17) • Add the following lines before the Z-matrix #RHF 6-31G(d) IRC=(Maxpoints=42,Calcfc) SCF=Tight 0 1 Si X 1 1.0 ......

CBC316 Expt 1 (Gaussian) • For section 4 part 1 (p15) • G03W is not linked to GaussView • Do as per Sections 1. eg. for SiH4 #RHF 6-31G(d) Opt SCF=Tight SiH4 geometry optimization 0 1 Si H 1 1.0 H 1 1.0 2 109.47 H 1 1.0 2 109.47 3 120.0 H 1 1.0 2 109.47 3 -120.0
CBC316 Expt 1 (Gaussian) • For section 4 part 1 (p15) • G03W is not linked to GaussView • Do the following instead: • In Gaussview, click FILE Create Molecule Group • Draw the molecule • Click CALCULATE and set the required parameters • Click RETAIN. • Click FILE Save, and give a file name.
