- Try in a first step without any restraint, i.e. using:

ATOM 1 C1 PPEEB 20.926 9.330 13.547 1.00 0.00 C
ATOM 2 H2 PPEEB 21.879 9.323 14.073 1.00 0.00 H
ATOM 3 H3 PPEEB 20.982 10.018 12.704 1.00 0.00 H
ATOM 4 H4 PPEEB 20.138 9.652 14.227 1.00 0.00 H
ATOM 5 C5 PPEEB 20.631 7.995 13.063 1.00 0.00 C
ATOM 6 H6 PPEEB 20.576 7.308 13.906 1.00 0.00 H
ATOM 7 H7 PPEEB 21.419 7.674 12.383 1.00 0.00 H
ATOM 8 C8 PPEEB 19.362 8.005 12.362 1.00 0.00 C

- Try another mol. orientation to see if with a different MEP you get the same
problem...

PS: Please tell me what you get...
