Looking for Conformational Analyis references

[jle - at - world.std.com (Joe M Leonard)]

 I am aware of several/many articles comparing various conformational
 analysis methods for self-consistency, but can't quickly place any
 that compare the results against experimental properties (which are
 configuration dependent).  I know folks have run methods against X-ray
 structures, but I'm interested in small molecules (up to 100 or so).
 No, I'm not looking for a comparison of methods as much as an evaluation
 of the use of methods with molecular mechanics, or quantum mechanical
 techniques - showing that (a) experimental quantities are reproduced
 and/or (b) levels of theory are/aren't sufficient.
 I'm still looking, but would appreciate pointers to anything folks might
 know about.  I have the Rev Comp Chem 1-3...
 Flippantly, I know conf anal "is a good thing", but am looking for
 results
 that indicate that the ranked structures actually reproduce what's
 seen experimentally rather than conform to what's expected from
 Chemical Intuition.
