ZN is not an organic molecule, so creating the necessary force field
parameters is not that easy. If someone has already created those
parameters for ZN, use those parameters.

This command will create a gaussian input file, which u will run using
gaussian. After getting the gaussian output file, u can use antechamber
-again- to get the resp charges.

One other thing is that, there is already a CYM residue defined in the
amber force field; so u dont need to do anything. As I wrote in my prev.
email, I assumed that u are trying to get the resp charges for this
particular molecule. As CYM residue is already defined in the force field,
I dont think that u need to do any gaussian calculation and get the resp
charges.

Best,
