After the conformer generation and geometry optimization I obtained 38 low energy conformers. What is the best idea to analyze them, grouping conformers with similar conformations? Are there some free software that make this kind of analysis? Some years ago I did a work that used clustering techniques, but now I am curious if there are other techniques to do this kind of analysis. Thanks, Sergio Emanuel Galembeck
