Excerpt

Constrained fit to initial values with additional Br data

👀 Overview

Summary

This fit adds additional Br ESP data following a hypothesis that a lack of Br data was responsible for the poor performance of Br compounds in condensed phase properties. Performance unfortunately did not improve. While working on this approach, it became apparent that we weren’t sure where the initial values for each virtual site came from – while they had seemed to come from Qubekit, we could not reproduce them in Qubekit. In Approach V we took a step back and restarted the project from Qubekit initial values, as well as exploring other directions.
