I am working on abalone software and I tried running the MD of cyclodextrin and nitrophenol.As soon as I start the MD,nitrophenol gets deformed.How to solve this problem?
I did.i also optimised the structure through NWChem,after optimisation is remains planar but as soon as i add beta-cyclodextrin and start MD,nitrophenol gets deformed.
It will also be important that which basis sets you used while optimizing as nitrophenol contains lone pairs and I think you might have to use diffused basis sets.
I opened the panel "Draw", chose benzene kernel, replace two hydrogen by OH and NO2 (double bonds) and optimized. I see a flat geometry. Calculated partial charges. Optimized again. Geometry is flat.
