CCL:G: Dihedral potential energy scan using Gaussian



Chandan--
 If the 360-degree energy is lower than the original 0-degree energy, then the
 0-degree energy was not optimized to the lowest possible energy for that given
 dihedral angle. In that case, you can scan for another 360 degrees and see if
 the 720-degree energy is the same as the 360-degree energy.  Use the second
 scan for your molecular dynamics simulation.
 Also, are there any sudden changes of energy on going from x degrees to x+10
 degrees?

 Hi CCL users,
 I need to perform a dihedral scan, and the energy profile would be fitted and
 used for the molecular dynamics simulation. I did a relaxed potential energy
 scan (using Gaussian 09 software) of the molecule shown below, but after the
 rotation of 360 degrees, I get a different conformation and thus different
 energy. Can any one help me on this?
 The Gaussian input file is as follows:
 %chk=5-7-10-16.chk
 %nprocshared=8
