Current restrictions in the elements that grade handles.

  • grade uses quantum chemical geometry optimization in addition to the Mogul method. The current version of grade and consequently the Grade Web Server currently uses a helper based on fdynamo for semi-empirical quantum chemical calculations. This can only handle elements in the table below.
RM1 H C N O F P S Cl Br I
PM3 H Be C N O F Na Mg Al Si P S Cl K Zn Ga Ge As Se Br Cd In Sn Sb Te I Hg Tl Pb Bi
AM1 H Li Be B C N O F Na Mg Al Si P S Cl K Zn Br I
    • RM1 is used in preference to AM1 or PM3
    • these restrictions are temporary - other quantum chemical methods can handle all elements. These will be supported soon.
