Dear Amber Users,

I am trying to simulate a titanocene molecule given below. It contains an explicitly non-bonded Ti atom. I have created input file for this system using antechamber. But during minimization Ti atom moves between Cl atoms. Would it be due to inaccurate Non-bonded parameters or incorrect selection of force-field (GAFF) for this system?

I tried QM/MM also but is says that parameters for Ti are not present in AM1. Is there any other way to simulate such kind of systems.
