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.
CosineHarmonic: Harmonic in cosine of the angle.ThetaHarmonic: Harmonic in the angle itself.
§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.
PlanarInversion: Harmonic potential on the out-of-plane distance.UmbrellaInversion: Harmonic potential on the Wilson angle.
