All, I apologize for packing two questions in one chain, but now that it's done, I don't want to break chain. As an organic chemist, I got dragged into this coordination compound issue kicking and screaming - "So it goes." Here's a blog that uses ferrocene in PubChem as an example of the probl

Bob, I think "A" is all I need." Everything we do is based on issues related to the model in the Jmol window (I think? See below). This involves queries to a number of resources (check name, check image, get remote db molfile, check FIND in database SMILES vs model SMILES... ), but the query

Bob, Thanks for the quick repair job! Follow-up question: By my testing, the SPn SMILES notation allows complete FIND/compare ability for simple square planar complexes. Does the order of the ligands in the octahedral SMILES carry the same punch? I've had success with simple tests, but there's

I'll ask those more clearly: Q: Would it be for the current model only, or for all models? Q: How would we decide that? Perhaps by previously selecting the atoms it would apply to? When you would like to simulate molecule within a plane wave basis sets > approximation, you must build a cell a

Ah, HA! Found it. It was in the SMILES reader translating indicated stereochemistry to actual 3D positions when a new component mark "." was followed by a stereochemistry indicator with H, "[...@h]", which was followed immediately with the SECOND ring bond connection number. Wow. That's obscure. On

Thanks Angel, I put in slab 90; delay 0.1; slab 80; delay 0.1; slab 70; delay 0.1; slab 60; delay 0.1; slab 50; delay 0.1; slab 40; delay 0.1; slab 30; delay 0.1; slab 20; delay 0.1; slab 10; delay 0.1; slab 0; and that did the trick. Is there a way to do this with the move or moveto comma

Hi Matt I'm not sure of this, but rather than changing the Z translation I would try changing the slab incrementally When you say that it works manually using the mouse, are you zooming in? That is what Z translation means. Or are you shifting the slab plane? That is waht an incrmemental slab
