 Hi gmx-users,
I want to calcualted the the vaporation enthalpy of benzaldehyde I think that the the vaporation enthalpy is the sum of non-bond interacion among the benzaldehyde molecule. So I made a NPT system simulation including 512 benzaldehyde molecule. The following is the intermolecule nonbond interaction using the g_energy.
     LJ-(SR)= -21128.7 Kj/mol
     LJ-(LR)= -889.855 Kj/mol
     Coulomb-(SR)= -3884.6 Kj/mol
     Coul.-recip = -2261.51 Kj/mol
the sum of non-bond interaction = LJ-(SR) + LJ-(LR) + Coulomb-(SR) + Coul.-recip = 28164.665 Kj/mol
   But the experimental value of he vaporation enthalpy = 50.3 Kj/mol
I have no ideal that why they have so much different. Now I don't know how to solve it.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

These are totals for the intermolecular energy of the system. I'm guessing you didn't use "-nmol 512" to calculate these results?

And then subtract the gas-phase energy (with com removed) and add kT.
