Dear Atul,

Your question is surprising and the answers you got even more...

I think you should wonder if it makes sense to compute the partial
charges of a molecule with a formal charge that equals -4! I would
look at the conformation of that optimized geomtry: it is unlikely to
correspond to that you need - I mean once you will be able to get that
optimized geometry (if you can manage that)...

Instead I would split this molecule into elementary building blocks to
'separate' these formal charges and then reassemble the whole
molecular system.

I would use RED Server Dev./PyRED for that...

regards, Francois
