• What is Gaussian:

Starting from the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics, Gaussian 16 predicts the energies, molecular structures, vibrational frequencies and molecular properties of compounds and reactions in a wide variety of chemical environments. Gaussian 16’s models can be applied to both stable species and compounds which are difficult or impossible to observe experimentally, whether due to their nature (e.g., toxicity, combustibility, radioactivity) or their inherent fleeting nature (e.g., short-lived intermediates and transition structures).

With Gaussian 16, you can thoroughly investigate the chemical problems that interest you. For example, not only can you minimize molecular structures rapidly and reliably, you can also predict the structures of transition states, and verify that the predicted stationary points are in fact minima or transition structure (as appropriate). You can go on to compute the reaction path by following the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) and determine which reactants and products are connected by a given transition structure. Once you have a complete picture of the potential energy surface, reaction energies and barriers can be accurately predicted. You can also predict a wide variety of chemical properties.

You can learn more by visiting Gaussian's official site here or by visiting Gaussian's youtube page for more videos here.

• What is Gauss View:

GaussView 6 is the latest iteration of a graphical interface used with Gaussian. It aids in the creation of Gaussian input files, enables the user to run Gaussian calculations from a graphical interface without the need for using a command line instruction, and helps in the interpretation of Gaussian output (e.g., you can use it to plot properties, animate vibrations, visualize computed spectra, etc.).

Xquartz works the same as xming, on a mac, ssh is included in the terminal so no extra installation is required.

Configuration step:

For windows users:

Installation Of Gaussview 600

1. Open xming
   
2. Open putty
   
3. Set up ssh and configure x11 settings
   
4. Input your address(we recommend that you save these configurations by input a name in saved sessions and clicking save)
   
5. Click on open
   

For mac users:

1. open terminal
   

2. Log into cluster and enabling x11

next steps are the same for both windows and mac users

Using Gauss Viewer:

1. Load Gaussian module
   

   
   

2. Load Gauss Viewer module
   

   If you need more information on modules, please take a look in the link here.
   

3. use Gauss View
   

   The Gauss View gui should be displaying on your computer right now!

Gaussian 16 & GaussView 6

From the publisher’s website:

Gaussian 16 is the latest version of the Gaussian® series of electronic structure programs, used by chemists, chemical engineers, biochemists, physicists and other scientists worldwide. Starting from the fundamental laws of quantum mechanics, Gaussian 16 predicts the energies, molecular structures, vibrational frequencies and molecular properties of molecules and reactions in a wide variety of chemical environments. Gaussian 16’s models can be applied to both stable species and compounds which are difficult or impossible to observe experimentally (e.g., short-lived intermediates and transition structures).

Gaussian 16 provides the most advanced modeling capabilities available today, and it includes many new features and enhancements which significantly expand the range of problems and systems which can be studied. With Gaussian 16, you can model larger systems and more complex problems than ever before, even on modest computer hardware.

Available for the following operating systems:

Mathematica (student version)

Attention graduating seniors!

Many students will graduate and start their careers utilizing the skills they have learned during their time on campus. Since Mathematica is used at Fortune 500 companies and government research labs throughout the world, having access to Mathematica on campus has helped prepare them to take on professional challenges that require these skills.

So they can take Mathematica with them to their first job, Wolfram offers recent graduates the chance to upgrade from Mathematica for Students to the professional version of Mathematica — with one year of Premier Service included — at an 80% discount off of the commercial list price.

Student Printing

The College of Wooster contracts with MT Business Technologies, Inc. to provide Xerox multi-function devices that provide both high-speed copying and laser-quality printing at a significantly lower cost per page than laser printers on campus. Copiers and printers are maintained through Technology Services. If you have a problem, contact the helpdesk at x4357 (* 330-287-4357 *) between the hours of 8:30am and 5:30pm when classes are in session, and from 8:30am until 5:00pm when classes are not in session.

A number of devices across campus are available for student printing and copying. Printing and copying is available at Andrews Library (CoRE), Timken Science Library, and the Lanes in Lowry. Students can send documents to any of these public printers from a computer connected to the College of Wooster’s network. The document will not actually print until the student goes to the device location and swipes a college ID to release the print job. Documents will be held in the print queue for 24 hours. A college ID is also required to make copies using these devices.

Papercut is a network printing system that charges users when printing to a college-owned copier or printer. When printing is done, the PaperCut system debits the user’s COW Card or appropriate budget account for the cost of a print job. Instructions for setting up your devices to use the public printers are here: Printing as a Student
