Razil,

the "charges" of the hydrogen atoms are mixed into the charges of the
heavy atoms of the chain.

You can also have a look at the supplement of our paper
(10.1038/s41598-018-23624-8), were the charge derivation for a perhaps
similar case is described in some detail.

Maybe that helps.

Regards,

Anselm

To make total charge of the molecule is zero, the charges of the hydrogen atoms must be distributed to other atoms to neutralize the molecule, right?

In the Table S1 in supplementary information, I saw that in the DOD acyl chain, only the carbon atom has non-zero partial charges, whereas the partial charges for all hydrogen atom are 0. Are these values coming from the RESP calculation or we need assign these zero values manually? Or there are some functions in RED program to help us to do so?
