If your cation is a single atom (like e.g. a sodium) you can't really
define an angle between the cation and the ring. However, if it's a
bonded atom you could potentially do this by calculating the vector
normal to the ring (with 'vector corrplane', the vector between the
two atoms, then use 'vectormath dotangle' to get the angle between the
vectors. You can then use that angle together with the distance
between the center of mass of the ring and the cation and use the
'calcstate' analysis to analyze the interaction. See the manual for
full details on the commands.
