Expand description

Bonded (intramolecular) interaction potentials.

Bonded interactions define the covalent structure and local flexibility of molecules.

§Components

§1. Bond Stretch (2-body)

Interactions between two directly bonded atoms.

  • Harmonic: Standard harmonic spring potential.
  • Morse: Anharmonic potential allowing bond dissociation.

§2. Angle Bend (3-body)

Interactions defined by the angle between two bonds sharing a common atom.

§3. Torsion (4-body)

Interactions associated with rotation about a bond axis (dihedral angle).

  • Torsion: Standard periodic cosine series expansion.

§4. Inversion / Improper (4-body)

Interactions maintaining planarity or chiral centers.
