C Jan Labanowski, Aug 13, 1992 C This "program" calculates geometrical parameters of the amino group C suitable for constructing Z-matrix C The experimental data from microwave spectroscopy for something-C-NH2 C are frequently given as a N--H bond lenth, C--N--H angle and H--N--H C angle. Depending where you start, you need some dummy atoms to build C the molecule. This programs gives you a few parameters you might use. C C Input: C d = N--H bond length, thCNH angle C--N--H, thHNH angle H--N--H C C Output: C a = distance H....H (the base of the H--N--H isosceles) C v = the height of the H--N--H isosceles (i.e., v is the bisector of C the H--N--H angle). It starts at C and ends at point Y. Point Y C is located half way between H atoms. C l = distance N--X (X is the projection of Y on the line passing through C C--N). l is a projection of v on the C--N line. C h = is the distance from Y to X. (h and l are perpendicular, C h is a bisector of the H--X--H angle). C b = H--X distance, i.e. distance of the point half way between H atoms C and C--N line C alpha = C--N--Y angle (angle between C--N bond and v). C beta = half of H--X--H angle, i.e. half of the dihedral angle between C two CNH planes, i.e., H--X--Y angle.
