📊 Progress and findings
Re-fitting virtual sites with charge restraints
The pyridine virtual site stabilized around 0.3 e:
No real effect was observed on the halogens with the restraint:
Fitting to condensed phase properties
This change in pyridine charges didn’t appear to substantially affect the condensed phase properties.
