MaSK Features
Key features of MaSK include ability to:
General:
- Read 7 formats: GAMESS output, GAMESS input, Gaussian output, and
Gaussian input, MDL Molfile(.mol, .sd, .sdf),
Tripos Mol2 (.mol2), and XMol XYZ (.xyz)
- Save file as GAMESS input or export geometries into MDL Molfile(.sdf),
Tripos Mol2 (.mol2), and XMol XYZ (.xyz) files
- Visualize molecules in 4 styles: balls and sticks, spheres, tubes, and
wireframe
- Choose between orthographic and perspective view
- Show/hide hydrogen bonds, atom names and numbers
- Visualize coordinate axes
- Measure distances, angles, dihedral angles, and angles between planes
(and monitor their changes during optimization)
- Save images as JPEG, GIF, BMP or PNG graphics files
- Copy image to the clipboard to paste in other application
- Modify input geometry as Z-matrix (including automatic and manual atom
addition or automatic functional group addition) or Cartesian coordinates
- Set input options for GAMESS job and save as GAMESS Input file
- Submit GAMESS (PC GAMESS version) job from within the MaSK
- Check the status of a PC GAMESS calculation
- Terminate PC GAMESS calculation
Results:
- Visualize all steps of optimization as a movie or step-by-step
- Visualize all optimized points of the Intrinsic Reaction Coordinate
(IRC) following
- Visualize calculated Mulliken (GAMESS and Gaussian) and Lowdin (GAMESS)
charges
- Visualize vibrational modes as animation or as vectors
- View optimization energy graph (SCF-only energies for Gaussian output)
- Visualize dipole direction
- Visualize molecular orbitals with multiple options
- Visualize electron and spin densities
- Visualize molecular electrostatic potential plotted onto the electron
density
- Show brief or extended summaries of the results
- Export Potential Energy Surface scan results from GAMESS calculations to
CSV file format for use in spreadsheet applications
Customization:
- Change text size and color
- Change background color
- Choose maximum resolution of the saved images
- Choose to draw/hide metal-metal bonds
- Choose to draw/hide metal-nonmetal bonds
- Change the speed of rotation of the molecule, vibrations, and animation
of optimization steps
- Change atomic parameters for any atom:
1) Atomic radius
2) Van der Waals radius
3) Atom color
- Modify radius and color of covalent and hydrogen bonds as well as
opacity of hydrogen bonds.
