Dear CCLers, I have received the e-mail telling my previous query of the same subject is vague. So I try to restate with more information. Now I'm investigating the polyene isomerization on the basis of ab-initio calculations and molecular dynamics simulation. I've determined the parameters of the model hamiltonian by a least- square fitting with the ab-initio energies of some geometries. I've obtained resonable fits except for the van der Waals interaction parameters. But MD trajectories for these parameters show some strange behaviors. Therefore if there are reliable parameters of polyenes(C4H6,C6H8 ...), I'd like to use them. Does anyone know the literature concerning those parameters? Any hints or comments are welcomed. Thanks in advance.
