[AMBER] Calculating dipole vector for charged solvent?

Dear all,

I used CPPTRAJ to calculate the dipole moment vector for solvent residues in an ionic liquid system. The solvent is charged, and I am aware of the warning in the manual that the dipole vector may not be well-defined for non-neutral systems.

I’ve used the following command to calculate the dipole and time-correlation:
trajin so3sq_choline_geranate-prod-imaged.crd
vector v3 dipole out CAGE-dipole.dat :U01,U03
timecorr vec1 v3 out tcorr-CAGE-dipole.dat order 1 tstep 20 tcorr 120000 norm
go
The method worked well for a water-based system, where I found an autocorrelation time of 50 ps. Is this approach appropriate for an ionic liquid?
Thanks for your help!
Best,
