Thank you!
It's boronic acid. I am going to study MTK++.

Hi,
Can you be more specific about your needs? Are you dealing with say a boronic acid/ester or are you dealing with a boron cage or carborane? If it is a boronic acid/ester then a program like MCPB (among others) can give you charges and force constants, while a carborane might also work fine in MCPB, but would be tricky due to the interesting structural details. What to use for LJ values for boron is something I am not expert on, but perhaps some digging in the literature would yield some appropriate values. In the end validation that you are reproducing boron chemistry with your FF will be key. Good luck!

However, one should bear in mind that a macromolecular refinement against high resolution data is never finished, only abandoned.
