Hi François.
Thanks a lot for thelinks and reference. I guess they will be helpfull.
Can I make one question? Well, unfortunatelly I could not yet get access to
the reference you sent me (will have to get in touch with the author for
this specific one). But, from what I could get from its abstract, it was not
fairly easy to reproduce the eectrostatic potencial around a simple molecule
like cyclohexane with only simple atomic point charges.
I wonder what would lead to such a difficult on simple alcanes for that.
Specially considering the "trick" used of placing extra punctual charges in
midle of the hidrogens. I would not in a first instance expect such problems
on such simple molecules. Could you please give me any indication of what
sort of molecule "characteristic" or "property" would lead to such problems?
I still wandering what would be a good reason for that, even considering
some kind of "polarizability effect" that first came to my mind, but I'm
absolutelly unsure on this.
Thanks a lot in advance for all help! ;)
Sincerally yours,
Jones
