Understood and agreed... if I think of the nanotox field, however,
they typically do not know how much, where, etc, the coating is
covering the core... and I am under the impression it is actually the
idea here to try to find some distribution to match experimental
data...

Good questions, indeed. People have started doing QM-like things on
this; for obvious reasons with methods like DFT etc. But you still
have to start with some 3D model, and if this can be done with Jmol,
it sounds like a win to me...

Yes, I think it can be done easily, without any expnasion in the 
scripting language.
 My concerns are about correct atom position, and also adding more 
atoms that were not present and should go in the right positions too.
For example, you could easily change all O atoms at a certain 
distance from Si atoms and bonded in a certain way, into S atoms. But 
then the bond lengths will not be correct, and how to add another 
layer of atoms bonded to those S?

Do you have a file people can play with? As said in another reply, I
guess with some scripting it should be doable...

would it be very difficult to update the Jmol scripting language to
change the chemical nature (or just add atoms) to a selection of
atoms?

That is, for spheric nanomaterials, one can probably select all atoms
at the surface (e.g. at a certain distance from the center of the
particle)... and then modify those atoms...

Should be doable, right?

Hello Kazem 

I do not think that Jmol is your best tool for that, since I am 
guessing there will be a lot of (repetitive) silica groups to which 
the new groups must be added. Removal of groups is probably easy.
For just one addition it could be done, although still not the best 
choice. 
Although Jmol has some editing capabilities now, its design is of a 
viewer, so building models is harder. An exception is the Model Kit 
application like e.g. in Chemagic.com - but that's for single, small, 
molecules and so far from your needs I think.

[Jmol-users] silica nanoparticle

2014-06-19 Thread Kazem Sepehrinia
Hi,

I have made a silica nanoparticle using Materials Studio and I want to
modify surface chemistry of it, I want to remove unwanted groups from the
surface and create some new groups on the surface of nanoparticle in manner
that matches with experimental data.
Can I do that using Jmol? Do you have a better suggestion for me?

Kazem Sepehrinia
