CCL: ‏‏RE: Metal-Ligand non-covalent attack



You can calculate energy and decide what is the most probable site, according to  thermodynamics. 

I don't know G0W, but I know that you can do it with G09.

‏‏נושא: CCL: Metal-Ligand non-covalent attack

Dear All,
I am considering a multidentate ligand with different donor atoms.
I like to predict the most probable site of attack by a metal atom/ion without carrying out molecular dynamics simulation.

I think of dropping the metal atom arbitrarily around the ligand and carry out geometry optimization. Perhaps, I will observe where the metal tends to bind.

Do you think this is a good idea? Will it be appropriate to do this with G09W?
I welcome your opinions.

Regards.
