Dear All,

I do some structural calculations but I see big differences between theoretical 
and experimental torsion angles. 

Torsion angle	       Experimental	Theoretical
N(2)C(2)C(3)C(8)	 175.1	        -175.965
O(1)C(2)C(3)C(4)	 178.94	        -177.005
C(8)C(3)C(4)N(3)	177.0          179.837
C(2)C(3)C(4)C(5)	 178.73	        -177.808
C(31)N(3)C(4)C(3)	 174.2	         169.686
C(4)N(3)C(31)C(32)	  91.0	         138.193


Any idea explaining such a differences is highly appreciated.

You don't mention anything about the level of theory or the basis set
used, which would be paramount to determine if your calculations are
correct. Also knowing something about the system could be of used.

But, there's probably a very simple explanation - you are really
comparing two different systems: the experiment and calculations are on
two different conformers. Redo the structural optimization, but change
the starting point to be more similar to the experimental geometry.

To be sincere, I do not see those "big differences" you mention. If you=20
take into account that the negative angles can be converted to positive by=
=20
adding 360, what you have is:

  175.1 vs. 184.0
  178.9 vs. 183.0
  177.0 vs. 179.8
  178.7 vs. 182.2
  174.2 vs. 169.7
   91.0 vs. 138.2

At least for me, only the values for the last angle differ by a more than=
=20
reasonable amount; out of all the others, the first one differs the most,=
=20
by less than 10=B0.

I have no idea about what your molecule looks like. In addition, you do=20
not mention how you got the experimental values, but I would assume they=20
came from an X-ray diffraction structure. You should be aware that the=20
gas phase structure (from the calculations) does not necessarily have to=20
be exactly the same as the structure in the crystal. In the solid phase=20
the geometry is influenced by nonbonded interactions with all the=20
neighbouring molecues which might lead to a slight or severe changes with=
=20
respect to the gas phase structure, particularly in floppy molecules.

The gas phase geometry obtained through calculation also depends on the=20
level of theory employed, something that you do not mention either.
