Computational Chemistry

(Steven Felgate) #1

  1. What factor(s) might cause an electronic structure calculation (e.g. ab initio or
    DFT) to give geometries or relative energies very different from those obtained
    from MM?

  2. Compile a list of molecular characteristics/properties that cannot be calculated
    purely by MM.

  3. How many parameters do you think a reasonable forcefield would need to
    minimize the geometry of 1,2-dichloroethane?
