Molecular Mechanics: Illustrations of Its Application.

Cox, Philip J.

Journal of Chemical Education, v59 n4 p275-77 Apr 1982

The application of molecular mechanics (a nonquantum mechanical method for solving problems concerning molecular geometries) to calculate force fields for n-butane and cyclohexane is discussed. Implications regarding the stable conformations of the example molecules are also discussed. (Author/SK)
