I posted this earlier:

We did a systematic analysis of several charge calculation methods. None of them could exactly reproduce the Gromos96 charges on any of the molecules analyzed, which sort of makes sense, given the empirical nature of Gromos96 parameterization (estimate charge, fiddle with it until some condensed phase properties are right).

web page http://cccbdb.nist.gov/ which gives an overload of charge, angle etc
tables and how they were determined.

ESP     Electrostatic potential. The electrical potential due to the nuclei and
electrons in the molecule, as experienced by a test charge.

AIM     Atoms-in-molecules. An analysis method based upon the shape of the total
electron density; used to define bonds, atoms, etc. (5). Atomic charges
computed using this theory are often quite different from those from other
analyses (e.g., from Mulliken populations). Such charges are probably the
most justifiable theoretically, but meet some resistance because the values
obtained may be quite different from those from older theories (6).

In addition, how would AIM charges play out in Gromacs, especially with
center points in rings which are different from nuclear centers, but
representative of PI orbitals, etc...With some say dummy point lacking
geometry (not that I would ever do that, but I do often wounder about
representation of PI interactions in simulations, such as say a metal ion
trapped between two benzene rings by PI)

And as an example, this is a partial table of a molecule--

Basically, I woundered which would be more proper charge wise in constructing
small, or medium sized molecules.

You have been provided there with the reference in which the parameters for
the molecule were derived.

Read it!

And determine yourself if it is applicable or not to what you are doing and
the forcefield you are using.
