The Alexandria Library, a Quantum-Chemical Database of Molecular Properties for Force field Development 9 2017 Received: October 1 1 1 Mohammad M
www.nature.com/scientificdata OPEN Data Descriptor: The Alexandria library, a quantum-chemical database of molecular properties for force field development 9 2017 Received: October 1 1 1 Mohammad M. Ghahremanpour , Paul J. van Maaren & David van der Spoel Accepted: 19 February 2018 Published: 10 April 2018 Data quality as well as library size are crucial issues for force field development. In order to predict molecular properties in a large chemical space, the foundation to build force fields on needs to encompass a large variety of chemical compounds. The tabulated molecular physicochemical properties also need to be accurate. Due to the limited transparency in data used for development of existing force fields it is hard to establish data quality and reusability is low. This paper presents the Alexandria library as an open and freely accessible database of optimized molecular geometries, frequencies, electrostatic moments up to the hexadecupole, electrostatic potential, polarizabilities, and thermochemistry, obtained from quantum chemistry calculations for 2704 compounds. Values are tabulated and where available compared to experimental data. This library can assist systematic development and training of empirical force fields for a broad range of molecules.

Advances in hardware and software have made technology and begin to use it as an educational tool, most faculty research-grade tools readily available to the academic community. members require some level of instruction and training. Because Training is required so that faculty can take full advantage of this chemistry research increasingly utilizes computation as an technology, begin to transform the educational landscape, and important tool, our approach to chemistry education should reflect attract more students to the study of science. this.

Surface Modification of Mgni by Perylene
Materials Transactions, Vol. 43, No. 11 (2002) pp. 2711 to 2716 Special Issue on Protium New Function in Materials c 2002 The Japan Institute of Metals Surface Modification of MgNi by Perylene Tiejun Ma, Yuji Hatano, Takayuki Abe and Kuniaki Watanabe Hydrogen Isotope Research Center, Toyama University, Toyama 930-8555, Japan Amorphous MgNi was modified by ball milling with perylene and its effects on the charge/discharge capacity were examined by using a conventional two-electrode cell. It was found that both the ball milling time and perylene/MgNi ratio had great influence on the discharge capacity and cycle life of MgNi. Three types of effects were identified, depending on ball-milling conditions. One of them was the increase in the discharge capacity at the first cycle, the second type was the deceleration of the degradation of the discharge capacity with charge/discharge cycle, and the last type was the reduction in the charge/discharge capacity. Chemical states of modified surfaces were analyzed by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) as well as ab-inito calculation. Both AES and ab-initio calculations indicated that carbon atoms can form bonding with both magnesium and nickel atoms, but bonding with magnesium atoms is most preferable. The change in the charge/discharge capacity is attributed to such kind of reactions, and the three distinct effects are ascribed to the presence of different MgNi-perylene composites, formed during the ball milling on the surface, resulting in the retardation or acceleration of Mg(OH)2 formation on the electrode. (Received May 20, 2002; Accepted July 16, 2002) Keywords: magnesium, nickel, aromatic compound, surface modification, battery, electrode 1. -

Three types of file format databases, repositories and other resources. These data are used conversion tools are discussed in section III. And the by different researchers in different applications in various areas conclusion is given in section IV followed by the references. of chemistry. Since these data are stored in several standard chemical file formats, there is a need for the inter-conversion of II. CHEMICAL FILE FORMATS chemical structures between different formats because all the formats are not supported by various software and tools used by A chemical is a collection of atoms bonded together the researchers. Therefore it becomes essential to convert one file in space. The structure of a chemical makes it unique and format to another. This paper reviews some of the chemical file gives it its physical and biological characteristics. This formats and also presents a few inter-conversion tools such as structure is represented in a variety of chemical file formats. Open Babel [1], Mol converter [2] and CncTranslate [3]. These formats are used to represent chemical structure records and its associated data fields.
