CFFTorsion
​
CFFTorsion
[mol,{i,j,k,l}]
returns the torsion angle in degrees subtended by the atoms
i
,
j
,
k
, and
l
in
Molecule
mol
as a
Quantity
.
​
​
CFFTorsion
[mol,{{i,j,k,l},…}]
returns several torsion angles.
​
​
CFFTorsion
[mol,{{
i
1
},j,k,{
l
1
,
l
2
}}]
returns the torsional symmetry coordinate for a 2-fold rotor.
​
​
CFFTorsion
[mol,{{{
i
1
},j,k,{
l
1
,
l
2
}},…}]
returns several torsional symmetry 2-fold rotor coordinates.
​
​
CFFTorsion
[mol,{{
i
1
},j,k,{
l
1
,
l
2
,
l
3
