Yun,

This keyword control the orientation of the optimized geometry before
MEP computation; this allows deriving reproducible RESP/ESP charge
values independently of the QM program used in the geometry
optimization step and independently of the initial orientation chosen
by the user.

See http://q4md-forcefieldtools.org/Tutorial/Tutorial-1.php#3

You always have to adapt the the CHARGE-VALUE and MULTIPLICITY-VALUE
accordingly to your case.

Please, use Ante_R.E.D. 2.0 available in R.E.D. Server instead of
Ante_R.E.D. 1.x. Indeed, only Ante_R.E.D. 2.0 deals with chemical
equivalencing in the P2N file format (chemical equivalencing is
important in your case for your aromatic cycle).

You need to create your own LEaP script (similar to script1.ff) to
connect your fragments and generate your prmtop/prmcrd files. You do
not need to convert mol2 files into off files as both mol2 and off
file formats have the same role: a force field library file format (we
will release soon a new library file format; I can send you the web
link if you want to use it in LEaP).
