hi,
thank you for your answers.

For the gaussian calculations i used the R.E.D Server and i compared my
files with your files given below:

The espot_m1* files look from the format the same, and in the
concatenated one there are no blanc lines.

The input1_m1 / input2_m1 file also look similar (only the last
paragraph differes because i have 4 and here in the example are 2
orientations).

When i use espot_m1 as an input for respgen / resp of AMBER i get the
same problem as before (resp charges correspond to the first molecule of
the esp-data).
So it seems to me that the problem lies somewhere in the protocol i used
for the AMBER stuff.


With the resp charges of the R.E.D. Server (in Mol_m1-o1.mol2) i have
the following problem:
My molecule is mesitylene. The charges of the hydrogen in the
methyl-groups are the same (for each group), but all other charges
differ by each other. Since the molecule is symmetric the charges of all
3 methyl-groups should be the same.
In your Ethane-1,2-diol example this is not the case (the charges are
symmetric, how they should be). Am i missing somewhere a flag or
otherstuff, so that the R.E.D. Server recorgnises the symmetrie of the
molecule and makes the resp-charges also symmetric?

Greetings
Thomas
