Substructures<br />

The Substructure table (Substructures.xml)<br />

contains substructures to use in your model.<br />

To use a substructure simply type its name in the<br />

Replacement text box (or paste it, after copying the<br />

name cell to the Clipboard) and press the Enter key<br />

when an atom(s) is selected, or double-click an<br />

atom. You can also copy the substructures picture<br />

to the Clipboard and paste it into a model window.<br />

The substructure is attached to selected atom(s) in<br />

the model window. If no atom is selected, a<br />

fragment is added. You can also define your own<br />

substructures and add them to the table. The table<br />

below shows the substructure table window with<br />

the substructure records open (triangles facing<br />

down). Clicking a triangle closes the record. The<br />

picture of the substructure is minimized.<br />

References<br />

The References table (References.xml) contains<br />

information concerning the source for other<br />

parameters. Use of the References table does not<br />

affect the other tables in any way.<br />

Two fields are used for each reference record: the<br />

reference number and the reference description.<br />

Reference Number<br />

The reference number is an index by which the<br />

references are organized. Each measurement also<br />

contains a reference field that should contain a<br />

reference number, indicating the source for that<br />

measurement.<br />

Reference Description<br />

The reference description contains whatever text<br />

you need to describe the reference. Journal<br />

references or bibliographic data are common<br />

examples of how you can describe your references.<br />

Bond Stretching<br />

Parameters<br />

The Bond Stretching Parameters table (Bond<br />

Stretching Parameters.xml) contains information<br />

about standard bond lengths between atoms of<br />

various atom types. In addition to standard bond<br />

lengths are information used in MM2 calculations<br />

in <strong>Chem3D</strong>.<br />

The Bond Stretching table contains parameters<br />

needed to compute the bond stretching and<br />

electrostatic portions of the force field for the<br />

bonds in your model.<br />

The Bond Stretching Parameters record consists of<br />

six fields: Bond Type, KS, Length, Bond Dpl,<br />

Quality, and Reference.<br />

Bond Type<br />

The Bond Type field contains the atom type<br />

numbers of the two bonded atoms.<br />

For example, Bond Type 1-2 is a bond between an<br />

alkane carbon and an alkene carbon.<br />
