摘要:A novel approach (Phil. Nat., 2009, 1(1), 19-32) to molecular minimisation based upon differentiation of thepotential energy terms of a molecular force field with respect to the internal coordinates improves upon the usual inefficientapproach of optimising atomic positions subject to restraining forces generated by the force field. A numericalapproach for minimisation of planar HXXH (X = C, N, O) is described. The general applicability of the approach isalso demonstrated for other planar molecules.
