What is the equilibrium bond length for a Lennard-Jones potential?
If I have $\epsilon$ and $\sigma$ can I calculate equilibrium distance $r_e$ in one run? What I have tried is to put $V = \epsilon$ and bring out the $r$ from the formula, but it seems not solvable. ...

Is it possible to do a Gaussian redundant scan with some fixed bonds?
I'm trying to do a redundant PES scan of a hydrogen abstraction in a Gaussian job while maintaining the rest of the system fixed. I need to scan the coordinate where H5 approaches to H6, maintaining ...

PES of Tetramethylthiuramdisulfid / Problem with Disulfidbridge
I like to perform a DFT Study on Tetramethylthiuramdisulfid. So I made a structure optimization for my start structur with PW6B95D3/aug-cc-pvtz to get a good structure to begin my dihedral scan to get ...

What is the procedure for constructing an ab initio potential energy surface for CH3Cl + Ar?
I would like to construct a model analytical potential function for collision between CH3Cl and Ar. This would be the sum of CH3Cl intramolecular + CH3Cl---Ar intermolecular potential. First I would ...

What are some available software packages for automated finding of local and absolute minima on PES?
I have never used any AI driven calculation package before and to be honest don't fully understand the ins and outs of it. To be more specific I'm looking for something that can find local minima for ...

Is this statement correct: "All structural variations are energy driven"? [closed]
In modelling using molecular mechanics can one state that "all structural variations are energy driven?".
The statement is related to protein-ligand binding in modelling.
Sometimes one can ...

Permissible amount of forces on ions in a relaxed structure
An equilibrium structure would be at a local minimum but that doesn't happen with all relaxation calculations. Relaxed structures tend to have some resultant forces on ions. What amount of these ...

Which SCF energy to use to plot PES after calculations with SMD?
I have a series of molecules calculated (DFT PBE0-D3/def2-TZVP performed in Q-Chem) and I'm ready to plot PES (Potential Energy Surface). I had to increase the grid to get rid of small imaginary ...
