hi folks, trying to set up a prep file for ATP where the gamma phosphorus
is in trigonal bipyramidal, i.e., dsp3 hybrid state....has anyone had any
luck doing this? a carefully-crafted .mod file that indicates, among others
things, the requisite O to P distances and angles gets overrun when a
minimization is performed......any advice is appreciated, regards, tjm
