Hello,
I parameterized a novel molecule and I sent it a as an article to
journal and my article has been rejected.
Here is my PES scan of x-y-z-t dihedral .

the referee says: "There is a strange transition at ~130° as well as a
very large discontinuity at Φ = 0° and 360°. It is expected that
Edihedral(0°) = Edihedral(360°); the green and yellow dotted lines in the
plot below should be at the same level, but this does not seem to be the
case"
Actually I performed PES scan in gaussian09 and psi4 and I got the same
results in different softwares so I thought this chart is not strange.
Still I am not sure if referee is right or not. Before I send the article I
saw some parameterization articles which didn't perform PES scan 0-360
degree. Some of authors performed scan in the range of 0-60 degree or
0-120 exc.. degree and I didn't predict I will face a result like this.
Should I perform single point energy for each angle instead of PES scan?
or should I do another thing? What are your suggestions? How can I explain
this?
Thank you.
