The Computational Chemistry List (CCL)

http://www.ccl.net/

The Computational Chemistry List (CCL) was established on January 11, 1991, as an independent electronic forum for chemistry researchers and educators from around the world. If you want it to continue, please support it with your participation in discussions, contributing files to the CCL archives, use of its paid services and becoming its supporting member.

It is estimated that more than 3000 members in more than 50 countries are reading CCL messages regularly. Normally, the traffic does not exceed 20 messages a day. You can examine all past messages.

The discussions cover all aspects of computational chemistry; however, before posting, contributors are asked to read the instructions and regulations. Please SUPPORT CCL to ensure its continuing service to the community.

If you have problems sending mail to the list of subscribers or to CCL administrators, please use the CCL MAIL WEB FORM. It skips the aggressive spam filters. If your email bounces from the ccl.net domain with the 5.7.1 error, please read the: spammers.txt for more information.
