[AMBER] Non-convergence when calculating partial charges for aromatic-adjacent nitriles

From: Jeffrey Wagner <jwagnerjpl.gmail.com>

Hello,

I am attempting to run partial charge calculations for a set of molecules.
I've found that sqm fails frequently on nitriles connected to aromatic
systems. Please find the relevant files below my signature.

My run command is:
antechamber -i molecule.sdf -fi sdf -o charged.mol2 -fo mol2 -pf yes -c bcc
-nc 0

I'm running antechamber and sqm from
https://github.com/choderalab/ambermini/, which uses AmberTools16

I've also seen convergence failures on the following molecules from the
ZINC database, most of which contain aromatic-adjacent nitriles:

ZINC00335972 <http://zinc15.docking.org/substances/ZINC000000335972/>
ZINC35326424 <http://zinc15.docking.org/substances/ZINC000035326424/>
ZINC00160396 (example in this email)
<http://zinc15.docking.org/substances/ZINC000000160396/>
ZINC13130634
ZINC28114756
ZINC10022957
ZINC14143999
ZINC24528707
ZINC01615096 (not aromatic)

Does anyone have suggestions about how to handle this?

Thanks,
Jeff Wagner
